You'd rather live in your insular world that is devoid of any honest discussion. There are others who are open to honest discussion. To each their own.
People are talking like they're on trial. This isn't a court of law. It's a private business. The NFL will do what's in their best interests....regardless of what evidence exists.
What did Kraft say the last time you were found cheating. I bet the same fucking thing. Didn't he pull a fast one on the state of CT so he could get the new stadium in Foxboro (which isn't that good). And when he cried about his wife dying he was full of shit then, too. He started dating a young blonde with big tits kind of like Belichick's main squeeze. So don't tell us about Kraft's sincerity. When he's full of himself and totally full of shit.
BREAKING: "PFT can now contribute additional details to that story. First, per a league source, the other “area on way to field” is a bathroom. The bathroom consists of one toilet and one sink and a door that locks from the inside. Second, according to the same source, the person carried two bags of balls into the bathroom: the 12 balls to be used by the Patriots and the 12 balls to be used by the Colts. Third, from the same source, the evidence comes from a surveillance video that was discovered by the Patriots and given to the NFL early in the investigation." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/26/video-shows-employee-taking-24-balls-into-bathroom/
I would say that the case you describe in the first three paragraphs is the middle ground that neither side can deny, unfortunately. There is no way for a Patriot fan to prove that BB/TB aren't lying and there is no way for a Patriot "hater" can say that Kraft is definitely being dishonest. This is the outline of the gray area, with the truth somewhere in the middle. Everyone may think they cheated, but I don't think anyone outside of a handful of people truly know if they cheated.
40,184 supporters and counting since this was posted. To be honest, I'd love to see a bunch of kids dressed in Brady jerseys running up to him every time he was in public and saying (with tears in their eyes) "Say it isn't so Tom, say it isn't so!!!"
So you came here for an open and honest discussion? GTFO with that crap. I come here because I'm a Jets fan and I enjoy discussing football with other Jets fans. I can watch NFL Network if I want to see Pats fans whine, deny, and deflect.
The risk/reward of him coming out and making that statement doesn't add up in my head. I happen to believe that Kraft is a good man, but additionally it wouldn't make sense for him to say anything if he knew something was up. There isn't enough benefit to him or the Patriots.
So, if the Pats are found guilty of wrong doing, does Kraft order Billy and Tommy's balls on a plate?
Pats handed in the footage. 90 seconds. I smell edited footage! I want the master tapes!!!!!!!! This is getting silly.
You like Kraft only because he runs a great organization because of Belichick. And you have 3 rings. We have no loyalty to Woody Johnson because he runs a bad org and he has 0 rings. If the Jets were found cheating (and wouldn't that be pathetic, a 4-12 team cheating) they would have no support. We would not be in denial or trying to alibi our way out of certain guilt like you pathetic creatures are unsuccessfully trying to do.
