Loved the Sam Berns story that was on the blog! People can hate the Patriots all they want, but they are a class organization, and it all starts at the top with Mr. Kraft. Can't think of a kinder, more caring owner in all of sports. Do you have any other "behind the scenes" stories of Mr. Kraft's generosity?

Let's end on this one, Ryan. I'll share a little personal story here. When we had our first child in March of 2009, there were some serious complications that we had. We had previously learned of them at an 18-week ultrasound, which changed the complexion of the next 4-5 months. Anyone who goes through something like that realizes that not too much else matters at that point, and when word somehow got to Robert Kraft, he reached out to ask if there was anything he could do to help. As you know, he has some strong connections to the medical community in Boston. We were in good hands, and we are fortunate that everything has worked out, but I thought it was quite kind that he took the time to see if there was anything he could do. Now, I want to make this clear: That doesn't affect my ability to be objective in this job. But it does reflect that we are all human beings and not robots, and just like everyone else, we have our ups and downs. My family appreciated the gesture, and we feel blessed that everything is in a good place right now.
