Wait and see. The same columnists will be praising Krafts BRILLIANT feint, when Brady gets his suspension reduced to 2 games. rmfe.
Oh that's without question, but grogan will never accept/believe that so instead of allowing him to spout more bs let's just shut it down with fact.
Any chance the nfl donate the million dollar fine to a charity or charities so some good can come of all this?
He's pretty much not pro-boston at this point and hasn't been for some time now. I went to school up there so I got a decent feel for the media guys during that time. He's always been the pot stirrer. He's overly righteous and also has a personal beef with Red Sox ownership (mainly john Henry) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All money collected from fines goes to charitable causes and supporting its retired players, including the NFL Player Care Foundation and NFLPA Players Assistance Trust; disaster relief initiatives; and health-related charities. Edit: This was from a 2010 statement but I believe it is still the same
I just don't understand why the pats fans base is so mad at Kr*ft, but not mad at Br*dy? It's Br*dys fault that they are in this mess, but to them he is still the golden boy. Maybe Kr*ft accepted the penalty because he finally realized his Star QB is a fuckin cheater, and there is no way to get around that.
They are mad a BK because he "gave up the fight". They are not mad at TB because he "didn't do it" and the "Wells report exaggerates facts and assumes evidence."
I just again listened to Kraft's presser yesterday when he announced he wouldn't appeal the NFL's decision. As usual he tries to come across as the aggrieved party and basically is saying he's doing the league a favor. Funny, I thought it was the opposite way around.
If you're an owner of a team in the NFL and are accused of cheating, and punished at an unprecedented level, there is no way you will just accept the punishment unless you are guilty and you know it. If you seriously think you are innocent, then there is no way you don't pursue an appeal. Kraft either knows his team was guilty (again) or was just given more irrefutable evidence.
All the articles I read today are Kr*ft apologists saying he is doing the league a favor. Writers today are pathetic and the greater population are blind sheep. Kr*ft forfeiting his team's chance at appeal says, "I don't have a case." Any innocent person I have ever met would fight chargers brought up against them. After all the denying and requests for league apology this is Kr*ft folding over...? The only thing this says to me is guilty admission. If you were innocent you would fight for exoneration, especially after all the theatrics. This may just be a small competitive advantage that had no real impact on the game, but the covering up, denying and chummy demands for apology dug a deep pit that the organization and their star quarterback now dwell. It was stupid from the get go and the P*ts PR has done a nightmarish, butchery of a job to the P*ts brand image from the onset. The longer Br*dy carries on this mockery of an appeal the deeper it goes for him, and the P*ts.
Their shenanigans brought the NFL millions of dollars of bad publicity during the worst possible time: the Super Bowl. In terms of the owners it reduced the value of their brand name and their teams's market price. Something that under Roger has steadily gone up. And that is probably the main reason Kraft backed off. In terms of numbers fans are eventually going to get sick and tired of these tawdry issues that keep coming up. And the NFL is a number driven league with huge sources of revenue. Kraft doesn't want to fuck with that.
How is beating two crappy teams an asterisk? Now if we thought like the Pats, we would have tanked in those games to ensure a higher draft position. But that's called cheating, and hurts the integrity of the game.
In 8 quarters of football the Pats beat the jets by a humongous total of 5 points. no Jet fan will deny the team had a shitty year. The difference is we look like we are going to break out while your tainted dynasty is coming to it's end. This scandal is giving the "faithful" pats fans a chance to jump ship while pretending to have integrity.
How's that working out for you? If the Jets were smart they should have tanked that TN game and most of the memebers of this forum were pissed that they didn't. But it's the Jets, they can't even tank right.
