Robert Kraft Flew the Jet Out For Us

Hopefully that long dark national nightmare will come to an end. Please sooner than later.

The Washington Redskins being an NFL laughingstock is a national treasure

Does Kraft have any connections to UConn ? It can't be Hurley as he's a Bengals fan.

Many years ago Kraft played off Hartford CT against Foxboro MA when he threatened to move to CT.
A lot of time and money was spent courting him to no avail. I don't think people forgot about that but what the heck; if its better for the team go for it.

Actually he spends his money on good things unlike the Daniel Snyder's of this world. He just donated $25M to stand up to jewish hate that is shining a light on anti-semitism. That isn't your typical NFL owner.

He sucks. Having folks like you say he doesn't is what he's buying with that $25M.

It's a gracious gesture no matter how anyone feels about the man or who arranged it. The plane says the New England Patriots and he owns the team and the planes. He must know what is going on with his planes.
Thanks Mr Kraft
UConn flies in style to the FF

@dvegas, I kid. As a long suffering Bears fan I know your pain. Two of my all time favorite players to watch were Favre and Rodgers. Which is blasphemy where I live. I hope you guys sign him and he does well. He's a total knucklehead but a hell of a QB.

People believing the Patriots-to-Hartford pipedream never gets old. Was fun to imagine for a few weeks? Sure. Did Kraft use Hartford as leverage for the MA legislature? You bet, but in hindsight, it was never going to happen.

I'm a former Pats fan turned hater after that time. My biggest issue is that he toyed with my UConn emotions. We were going to be co-tenants in a beautiful NFL sized stadium. I know we offered him the farm and it was a terrible deal for CT. I'm not a complete idiot, but I am a passionate Husky fan and he crossed a line with me.

It was much more Rowland than Kraft.

Kraft didn't say thanks, but no thanks. He let the circus go on and used us for his own benefit. That's why he gets the blame from me.

He let the circus go on until he was absolutely convinced Rowland couldn't guarantee the stadium completion date. He wanted it. He didn't get anything extra from the exercise that he didn't have already have, save a few face-saving measures.

The NFL was never going to let it happen.
