I'm not sure
what muddled message is being delivered here:
Oct. 3 could be notable not just for Tom Brady’s return, and other thoughts
Picked-up pieces while wondering why needy “Mr. Kraft” needs to commute to Patriots practice via helicopter …
Maybe because he
can? Sounds like someone's still butthurt about
a certain snub from decades ago.
▪ Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013, was one of the great days in New England sports history. As fans filled Fenway Park for a critical evening playoff game with Dave Dombrowski’s Tigers, folks watching TVs at the ballpark saw the Patriots rally from a 27-23 deficit in the final minute against Drew Brees and the undefeated Saints at Gillette Stadium. With no timeouts left, Tom Brady marched the Patriots 70 yards, winning the game with five seconds remaining on a 17-yard touchdown pass to Kenbrell Thompkins.
A few hours later at the Fens, with the Sox trailing, 5-1, in the eighth, David Ortiz crushed a tying grand slam into the Red Sox bullpen as Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter went ass-over-teakettle in a futile quest for the catch. The Sox went on to square the AL Championship Series with a 6-5 win and ultimately won the World Series.
Fast-forward eight years and circle Sunday, Oct. 3, on your calendars.
I'm pretty sure one of these dates is not like the other. I see crap like that and it makes me not want to read further; your mileage may vary.
Why would anyone care whether or not Bob Kraft gets a ride to Gillette via helicopter? Bob Kraft, who took a failing franchised and made it a successful and respected organization, who helped ferry needed supplies to health care workers during the early days of the pandemic, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charitable causes over the past 25 years, who helped broker peace between the players and owners during the most recent union negotiations, etc.?
ReplyDeletePlease, Dan Shaughnessy, point to what you have accomplished that makes you a moral beacon and puts Mr. Kraft to shame. I won't hold my breath.
Don't expect that. Dan is too busy wishing Covid and death on the red sox
