    Mayo can cut the mustard.

    I like Mayo, and hope he does well. In the short term, I think we’ll see the Krafts spend…. They want to prove the success wasn’t all Belichick & / or Brady, so that’s good. In the long term… idk, I’m worried about Jonathan at the helm.

    Agreed. I like their approach to Mayo as well. Mentored and groomed him for promotion.

    Kraft was cheesed about missing the playoffs. Throwing all that bread at the team, all it needed was a little Mayo.

    I see what you did there.

    maybe it also needs more of your cheesy humor.

    Bill O'Brien to tOSU.
    I guess that answers the question of whether he'll be back as OC.

    Team president Jonathan Kraft wasn’t at either press conference… maybe both days there were legit issues w/ the other companies he had to address as suggested by his octogenarian father, but I’m a little skeptical.

    I don't buy one bit of the excuse Krafty Bob slurred out about Jonathan the other day.
    Either Jonathan has something personal going on or he is in full disagreement with his father on things and opting not to participate.

    Agreed. I’m not buying that the team will be in good hands with Jonathan at the helm. I expect that he’ll run it into the ground.

    “I’ve always thought that in that case that was Roger Goodell killing an ant with a sledgehammer because I wrote this at the time,” King said. “Tom Brady, for the previous 10 years, had been allowed when he had home games, his equipment guys had control of the footballs and when you go on the road your equipment guys didn’t have control of the footballs.”

    King said he calculated Brady’s passer rating over a 10-year period and found that the numbers were essentially the same for both home and away games. 

    “What really ticked me off about that is that Roger Goodell commissions this study and the study says its more likely than not that Brady had a role in these footballs being doctored with,” King said. “Well, first of all, it didn’t mean anything in the first place and second of all you don’t have absolute proof that he did have something to do with it. That always really bothered me a lot both ways, me screwing it up and I think the NFL screwing up the discipline.”

    Neither 'scandal' was as big as they made it out to be.

    There is no doubt the Patriots pushed the envelope, lived in some gray areas, and maybe flat out broke some rules...

    But at what extend does/did it matter?  The Bills, Jets, and dolphins were schmucks.  They could have gotten their shit together and done the same things or been better at countering these things.  If any of those AFC East teams were able to be a competitive NFL team in the nearly 2-decade span (other than the 2 Jets Rex seasons), the Patriots/Brady dynasty would have been a lot different.
