Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Your a tool. 1st she had passed before he went and helped work out the CBA (which players thanked him for.) second he made his money as he bought the place his wife's father was president of in 1972. But I love the hate.. let it flow threw you embrace the hate.. No. Wrong. Who is the tool? While Kraft's wife was battling cancer during the spring and summer of 2012, he shuttled back and forth between his wife's hospital bed and the NFL's labor negotiations with her encouragement. Myra Kraft passed away on July 20, 2011, and five days later, a grieving Robert Kraft stood outside the NFLPA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., as the 10-year CBA agreement was announced. http://www.patriots.com/news/2012/06/18/robert-kraft-selected-pfwas-2012-george-halas-award-winner
4merper4mer Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Now if you could say that in ENGLISH. It would be appreciated. I heard Kraft called a lot of things, never a drunk before. As for what Ralph did with the worst owners in NFL History the Sullivan's GOT TO DO WITH Kraft is beyond me. Also your conspiracy theory is just that a conspiracy theory.. also had nothing to do with what was said... thinking maybe your drunk. I know there were some big words in the post but they are all English words. Erroneously, immaterial, compatriots....all English words. You really don't have to be all that wicked smaaaaahhhhhhttttt to know them. Could Kraft had ever have purchased the Patriots if they had ceased to exist? Here is a little exercise for you. 1. Go to Google 2. Type "Bob Kraft Drunk" in the search box and hit enter. You will see: About 349,000 results (0.35 seconds) lots of videos to choose from too. He is a prime mover in the disaster that is the NFL right now. Edited January 12, 2017 by 4merper4mer
PatsFanNH Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 No. Wrong.

He was away from talks for a month during her final days and returned after her funeral to finish the agreement that again the players like Saturday thanked him for doing.

He left her bedside time and time again and was praised for it. I call it leaving your wife. You said, "1st she had passed before he went and helped work out the CBA." He helped work out the CBA for months and months. The day she died he was doing it.

Wow I understand the hate but every single topic on Kraft drunk was not at an inappropriate time. SB game, home. Calling him a drunk is absurd and well makes you sound just dumb. Mind you have no idea what this has to do with this thread, which my original post did. So if you have issues with me PM me otherwise let's not ruin the thread with a silly side argument.

B-Man Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 HAIL MARY: Chargers’ desperation move is a shot to the NFL’s vitality. Now a weird year for the NFL just got weirder. If the Chargers do indeed move, and if owners approve the Raiders’ move to Vegas in March, three teams will have relocated in a 14-month span. There will be plenty of blame to go around. Goodell will be the face of it, but internally, owners and executives will wonder if NFL executive Eric Grubman, the point man on stadiums, did an effective enough job of negotiating with San Diego officials. The owners will be viewed as vessels of greed; Spanos will be the one who in the end decided to pull the plug on a cherished home, his legacy a sunburned version of Art Modell’s. But the lingering conflict goes beyond the relocations, beyond the logistics and into an area that is tougher to navigate if not solve, because there is no clear solution: What if the NFL simply matters less? Indeed.
Mr. WEO Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 No extra cost. LOL. Have you seen the price of cable recently and how it is continually going up? it may not be an "extra cost" but it certainly comes at a cost. If you are out of Market you need to spend an additional Hundred plus dollars to get your hometown team. The commissioner doesn't make enough money, he needs to be paid more. You just needed to agree with the bolded part, which is exactly what I said. In other words, if you have even basic cable, you don't have to pay anything more to watch football, than you do to watch, say, Real Housewives of Atlanta.... And even you know that "the commissioner" has nothing to do with any of this. It's Terry and Kim and the rest of them that demand it be this way. They pay Goodell a ton so you will still think they are really nice people--and HE's the problem. It's a huge sum the Pegulas and their brothers are happy to pay--your post proves it's money well spent.
sodbuster Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 @Alex_Flanagan Raiders have a new fan. https://twitter.com/i/videos/tweet/819606537966473216 So he's ditching one team that doesn't care about it's fans and leaves town for another team that's about to do the same?
LabattBlue Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 hopefully they will run out of cities to use as leverage.. outside of san antonio, and im sure im missing a few, but there cant be that many left unless they now use mexico city and london as pawns I think there a quite a few(using metro populations over 2mil)... Orlando 2.4mil Portland 2.4mil San Antonio 2.4mil Sacramento 2.3mil Las Vegas 2.1mil Austin 2.0mil

So if you have issues with me PM me otherwise let's not ruin the thread with a silly side argument. Wins and losses and even decade long dominance come and go, but trying to run teams out of their home markets lasts forever. I don't have any issues with you other than that you are wrong about the owner of your team. All teams should have fans. It makes the sport better overall. I don't mind that your owner tries to field a winning team. I wouldn't have it any other way. I could do without the repeated cheating but even that is secondary to the damage he and a few others are doing to the sport by trying to push teams in and out of markets thinking it will help the league when it will actually hurt. They are blinded somewhat by their greed, but mostly by their lust for power. The NE Patriots would not exist if it weren't for Ralph Wilson. That is a fact whether or not the Sullivans were the worst owners in sports history as you state. Would Kraft return the favor today if needed? LOL. In fact he has tried to push the Bills out of existence. That is low. So pardon me as a Bills fan if I view that differently than simple wins and losses and point out some of Kraft's flaws....like being a boozehound....along the way.
Roger Goodell Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Although we exhausted every option to have the Chargers remain in San Diego, at this time we feel the team returning to its Los Angeles roots is the most positive outcome for the team, the league, the players and the fans. And even you know that "the commissioner" has nothing to do with any of this. It's Terry and Kim and the rest of them that demand it be this way. They pay Goodell a ton so you will still think they are really nice people--and HE's the problem. It's a huge sum the Pegulas and their brothers are happy to pay--your post proves it's money well spent. I am honored to be able to work with respected owners such as the Pegulas and Krafts and to take their input where needed to push the league forward for the benefit of the players and fans.
dwight in philly Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I think there a quite a few(using metro populations over 2mil)... Orlando 2.4mil Portland 2.4mil San Antonio 2.4mil Sacramento 2.3mil Las Vegas 2.1mil Austin 2.0mil i see that list and is a viable one the greedy owners can now bring into play.. take away vegas(raiders) , not sure if the others have the playpen suitable, outside of orlando and san antonio(which has the alamo dome which is probably close to be outdated by NFL standards, but always on the backburner) not sure of the rest.

I knew about the help the Bills gave the Pats and the old Sullivan family. (Didn't take any issue with that statement.. pats were poorly run and were lucky To get the help.) as for "pushing" teams out of markets, if that was true the Jags would have moved by now to LA or anywhere else as that market sucks. Again my ONLY statement was (paraphrasing) he paid for his own stadium and only asked the state to do something they should have done anyways! Which FYI goes along with this thread. again I gave you my opinion on your drunk statement, and will leave that where it is. As it is a pointless discussion. So again to reiterate... I am proud of the fact that NONE of my tax dollars went into building the Razor and any money spent was to fix the infrastructure around the Razor is well what taxes are for. How many teams can say that their football team took 0 dollars to build their stadium.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 How many teams can say that their football team took 0 dollars to build their stadium. The same number of teams that can say they got caught cheating twice and paid the two highest penalties in league history for their crimes.

So pushing for Jon Bon Jersey and his Toronto friends was a good idea in your humble opinion? Thank God for Ralph or it would have worked. I bet Bob is still a little ticked that Ralph noticed how poorly he constructed the CBA and took advantage of this lack of attention to detail to keep the Bills in Buffalo huh? Just because he has failed in getting some franchises like Buffalo and Minnesota moved doesn't mean he'll quit trying. Personally I find the Chargers situation very sad, along with St. Louis. I get the Rams moving back in some sense but STL is a good sports town that got screwed. These palaces are being demanded by owners to increase their revenue. They are only "necessary" because Kraft and Jones deem them as such. This creates pressure...sometimes for other owners, sometimes localities, sometimes a combination. It is short sighted and will fail. I can see Jax moving to London. I see them a little differently as their fan base is genuinely weak, unlike these other teams.

Maybe, more likely to keep his football Guru happy as he is a HUGE fan and friend of Bon Jovi. Sometimes public supporter isn't private support... As for the raising the revenue I am like in awe you think 2 owners have all that power. Especially since one is a relatively newer owner in the league in Kraft. The fact is every owner wants make more money, it doesn't take the others to sway a person move from STL to LA where the market is like 10X the size. (I agree the people in STL got hosed by that owner ) your making up a conspiracy when the truth is the owners, every one of them want to maximize their profits and for some they feel that is to move the team. (Raiders have moved how many times in 20 years) there is no conspiracy just owners wanting make more and more money. They are successful business men and or the lucky sperm that inherited it all.
Mr. WEO Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 The same number of teams that can say they got caught cheating twice and paid the two highest penalties in league history for their crimes. I guess you're implying the Jets and Giants just haven't gotten caught yet...
Nihilarian Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 On another note! The Rams have hired Redskins OC Sean McVay to be their HC!
