WaPo's Sally Jenkins profile of Tom Brady

[RobertWeathers]

I understand what hes trying to say but it pisses me off.

They didn't do us any favors. What he should have said was.....

"From the onset, the league and other owners had an agenda against our team was unfounded, unfair and based on jealousy. In the 20 years we've owned this team, we've always played by the rules- even when Goodell sent out that midnight memo telling teams to stop videotaping from the sidelines before he had the competition committee's approval. I'm just happy that we are 8-0, very motivated, and the greatest player this league has ever seen is kicking ass on a weekly basis- just as he did in court.

Revisionist BS.

Kraft sold the team down the river - it just so happens that Brady and Belichick row with big-ass paddles.

Somebody really needs to hide Bob's keys to the liquor cabinet.

The NFL did us a favor? Not yet it hasn't!

The NFL (up to a point) with considerable help from Mr. Kraft, and ESPN robbed us all of a at least a portion of the joy that a fan base normally gets to experience after winning a Super Bowl.

A champion shouldn't have to defend itself over and over for 9+ months, about bogus charges that took at least some of the joy out of the championship experience.

If we win SB 50, THEN I'll say that maybe they did us a favor. That alone will make up for it. But until then, the NFL & ESPN can go to hell for what they did in trying to screw us, and what they are still up to in the appeal.

Yeah, that's nice. **** you, Bob.

At best trying to rewrite the narrative and at worst holy Stockholm syndrome.

Really the other prisoners did me a favor with the gang rape and the colostomy bag comes in quite handy.

 

[Deus Irae]

Yes, Bob, it did. It showed us that we should never turn our backs to the team's owner.

I'm sure BB feels like it's a big favor to be missing a first round pick in the next draft. So out of touch.

Link: Robert Kraft says the NFL did Patriots 'a favor' with Deflategate - CBSSports.com

Too bad he can't say he did his own team a favor by bowing to Goodell.

So the league did us a favor by dragging the name of the QB through the mud and taking away draft picks so that we play more motivated ? WTF ..This pisses me of so much. The league did us favor too in 2007 ? Then why didnt we win the SB .
Kraft is just playing up to the fans .

Or he can say nothing now and STFU. He didnt say anything when he had a chance. If we were 4-4 would he say same thing ?

 

[NYPatsFan]

I said it last week and I'll say it again, it's time for Bob to go. Jonathan should be CEO.

Only an idiot looks at what the NFL did to the Patriots and thinks that the league did the team a favor. The only reason he feels that way is because he has a coach who only focuses on football and a HOF QB with an enormous chip on his shoulder.

Hmmmmm.............a thread taking shots at Krafty Kraft............I've been saving up for the right time....................................
Not a single photo on the interweb of Jonathan Kraft and potential (at one time) step mother Ricki Lander. And I can't remember ever seeing images of the "boss' niece" in the skybox during a game.
No booster seat for the tweener?
.........................................just sayin

He's just commenting on the silver lining of a cloud. There are good reasons to be upset with Kraft, but this isn't one of them.

I agree, except you forgot to add Kraft to the list of those who should go to hell. He's as complicit as anyone.

Sally Speaks -- Subject Brady


Sally delves deep into the Tom Brady story. Good read but I wished she would have given a few lines to say what we all know show believes, Deflategate and Goodell are one in the same (a POS).

DeflateGate got Tom Brady mad, and the rest of the NFL is paying the price

Not a lot of "social" kinds of photos of Jonathan Kraft period -- e.g. with his own wife, assuming he has one.
