Can we please stop giving a crap what Bob Kraft and his sniveling son thinks

AOL Fanhouse posted something on a WEEI Radio interview with Patriots President Jonathan Kraft, the son of Patriots owner Bob Kraft. In the interview, Johnny Kraft decided to take some shots at ESPN for their coverage of "Spygate," stating their "journalistic standards that really are not up to snuff." While I agree with Kraft that ESPN is total garbage, on this particular issue (ESPN's coverage of "Spygate"), Kraft is dead wrong and, quiet frankly, doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would take Kraft seriously when he questions the integrity of anyone. Kraft is the president of an organization who deliberately and systematically cheated for over seven years. Jonathan Kraft should also watch what he says when it comes to newspapers writing stuff that simply isn't true. Remember, Kraft was one of the idiots who openly claimed the Colts were piping in crowd noise into the RCA Dome. We all found out later that Kraft's allegation simply wasn't true.

To date, Kraft has not issued a formal apology to the Colts or owner Jim Irsay for making his unfounded accusation. At least John Tomase and the Boston Herald said sorry for their screw-up.

Bottom line: Shut up, Johnny. Yes, ESPN sucks, but the Patriots do not have the credibility to criticize another organization's integrity. You must have integrity for anyone to listen to you.

Jonathan Kraft (behind the podium with the big smelly fish on it) is an idiot.

Him and Brady both should Just Shut Up

They (ESPN) did nothing more than report on the newsworthy events happening with Spygate. They went almost the entire month of April without the word “SpyGate” appearing in an article on their website.

Now I obviously did not watch/listen/read every piece of information talked about on their “family of networks.” I’m guessing there were a couple times where somebody said “if they taped the walkthrough…”, and they talked about how they should be punished. I can’t imagine anyone was talking about the taping being a fact, although I could be wrong.

If they are mad because ESPN kept talking about it, or how the fact the NFL didn’t seem too concerned about actually meeting with Walsh a month ago, then I only have one suggestion for them. Maybe they shouldn’t have illegally taped games back to 2000, had a videographer at the walkthrough the day before the Super Bowl, even if he didn’t tape it, and get caught Week 1 in 2007. Then nobody would be talking about a tainted championship run. And they have nobody to blame but themselves.

End my defense of ESPN. I need a shower.

What's pa saying in the background?

A.) “When is he going to shut up? I’m getting hungry.”

B.) “Nice bass!”

C.) “Did you remind Matt what’s-his-name to videotape this for me?”

Actually...

D. ) Did you bring Jonathan’s hockey helmet. Wouldn’t want him hurting himself when he bangs into a wall or something.

The only non “pot calling the kettle black” item in my mind is John Tomase’s Rams walkthrough taping allegations; I think Kraft and crew could dissect him at the 50 yard line and noone would blink an eye. He is universally despised in NE right now and, in my mind, will never regain the credibility he is seeking. He rolled the dice on “Scoop” vs. “Journalistic Integrity” and lost.
