No. For the record, the Patriots employed a person who killed multiple people (just didn't get charged in one of the cases). But ya let's mock the Ravens because of an allegation that we don't even know is true yet.....and the Pats are choirboys?
Not a White Knight by any stretch. Just didn't know we were keeping score here....We got a ravens white knight in the patriots thread, never thought I’d see the day
If there’s one thing we enjoy in pats nation it’s slandering the ravensNot a White Knight by any stretch. Just didn't know we were keeping score here....
Got it, but over criminal acts? That's a pot-kettle situation if there ever was one, for Pats fans.If there’s one thing we enjoy in pats nation it’s slandering the ravens
Nahhhh we cut our murderers, ravens build statues for emGot it, but over criminal acts? That's a pot-kettle situation if there ever was one, for Pats fans.
FWIW... this is the full quote:Then how about they actually spend?
Avoid albatrosses that way. Only time I can think of where we really got f***ed was the dead money on Brady’s deal when he leftFWIW... this is the full quote:
“I know there’s a perception that we have held back on spending,” Kraft said. “Let me just say to our fans — that’s just not true. Look, we were blessed to have a coach in our system who was a great coach and also understood value. He ran a tight ship. They say we’ve been low spenders in the last 10 years, and that might be true, but we had a pretty good record. We won three Super Bowls.
“But we never held back with any of the coaches we’ve had over the last 30 years. They’ve been able to get whatever they want. If cash spending became an issue for our family, and we couldn’t do it, then I would sell the team. … I can assure our fans that spending will never be held back or the reason that we don’t sign players.”
To me, it sounds like he's suggesting the low cash spending was a by-product of Belichick's cap management philosophy. And maybe you can criticize that philosophy, but it was awfully successful for a really long time.
That's fine but you can't say this and then not spend now. He can't hide behind Bill anymore. It already looks like they went cheap on coaching staff so let's see about free agency.FWIW... this is the full quote:

I don't care about avoiding albatrosses when the end result is 4-13.Avoid albatrosses that way. Only time I can think of where we really got f***ed was the dead money on Brady’s deal when he left
BC Alums wanted AL WashingtonLooks like Bill O'Brien to BC is a done deal
Honestly he looked like he was on deaths door 2 years ago, if it was a sympathy pick I think he would’ve gotten in even earlier.Rodney can't get in but WCW legend Mongo McMichael gets in (which is just a sympathy pick because he's dying)
Maybe its gonna work out here afterallCleveland won more honors tonight than Titanic Oscar’s
Best Coach, assistant, QB come back players- more impressive they had Alex Van Pelt
Without Van Pelt Browns probably represent AFC in SB
You do know that article was written 9 years ago, right?I really didn’t imagine this was necessary but
