With the Patriots losing last night and having the Kraft organization losing 2 championships in 1 season. Will it change their mind set at all? Obviously we have our issues but we know in the past they just let players walk. This year Randy Moss and Ansante Samuel are free agents and r top players at their positions. I can only hope that with both of his teams losing Kraft would want to do something about it and next year make sure both his teams win it all.
Post of the year material! Too funny! I'm sure the Pats are very pleased at having come so close to winning the Super Bowl. How unlucky! If the game had ended a couple minutes earlier they would have won. They have an excellent team and there is no need to make any changes. I'm sure they won't be bringing in any new players, because anyone they'd bring in should be better than the starters, or it just isn't worth it. I'm sure they'll be just as proud hanging that "AFC Champions" banner across the South end zone
There is no way one can make a comparison here. The Pats get all the love they need to be successful. It just didn't work out in the end this year. The Revs get no such love and are told to make due on meager table scraps. On another matter, I recently got a phone call from the Rev's ticket sales office trying to entice me into season tickets, or at least a package. I was leaning towards it but I've decided to hold my wallet for now. Until they show me a sign -in the next few weeks- that they want to stay competitive, I will keep my money. Maybe someday they will learn there is a correlation. MM
I doubt they'll learn. I got the same call. When I told him I was waiting to see what they did with the roster, the response was something to the effect of: "Well, no matter what they do, it's the only team we've got!" Not what I was looking for... The way I look at it, if they can hold onto the Dempsey money for so long, I can hold onto mine a while longer.
Well, you know I hear that the Patriots have great chemistry in the locker room and have been able to keep their core group of players together for sometime now which is unusual. So, I don't see any reason for them to change the roster in any significant way. .........
Well put. Wow, that's the response you got? I'm in Sales and Marketing myself and I say: Wrong answer! How arrogant is that? Anyway, the shame of the matter is that the ticket sales guy seems just as disconnected from the decision makers as us and is apparently flapping in the breeze. What it means is that our feedback will probably never make it out of the office of ticket sales. It's an implacable wall between us and the powers at be. Heck I think that wall even exists between the coaches and the powers.
If I was a person of Inuit heritage, living in an igloo somewhere north of, well, everywhere, I don't think ice would be the first thing on my shopping list. But nonetheless, these guys would have difficulty selling a glass of ice water to someone trekking across the desert for the past 3 days. What the hell is wrong with these people? I would fire on the spot anyone who said that to a customer.
Well, clearly this proves that EVEN THE FIRST CLASS OPERATION where all the money is can lose a hartbreaker by a hair. maybe this will shut up all the nattering nabbobs that say that pouring money on it all will make the difference in the big game. THIS IS YOUR PROOF - DOING NOTHING = SPENDING BILLIONS. clearly, we should tell twellman to shut up, and start a bunch of rookies. it makes no difference.
I hear not accepting the truth will eventually make a man go crazy. Kinda explains why Doc's been acting weird lately.
You can't lay the blame for that at the feet of sweet Mary Jane. That's something on the Taurine to Coke spectrum.
come on, it can't be lost on you, that the former "#1 way to run a team" vs the "red headed stepchild on the cheap way to run a team" both ended up in EXACTLY the same spot in the big game... the sameness... a hair away from the championchip... the diffrences... one spared no expense, the other did it on the cheap. looks like money can't by me love.
actually it bought them 3 superbowl championships out of 6........If the Revs had won two out of four with out doing jack to improve, there would probably be less arguing
I don't understand. There's only one championship they lost this season. The Super Bowl. You know, the Patriots! What other championship? I don't get it. Kevin D.
Not a chance Top. You know that even if the Revs won every match they played from opening day through MLS Cup some posters would still find something to complain about. After all, there is good reason they call this site "BS".
Oh I am sure there would be the mandatory Kraft does not care threads. For the most part it The arguing would probably move from why don't we bring in player x to why aren't they serving Harpoon on tap instead of Sam Adams
Nah not yet. We still don't know who are you though which is so chill seeing as you like stir up so much trouble on these boards. In any case we should just be happy we have team. GO PATS! GO REVS! Woo woo! Thank you Mr. Kraft may I have another!
Are you serious? You know, if the Revs on a relative scale had spent cleverly on the MLS equivilants of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Adalius Thomas, etc, and lost the MLS Cup game, I would have zero complaints. They did everything they could to win, and it didn't work out. It happens some times. The fact that the Revs had opportunities and available resources for YEARS to improve but haven't drives me up a friggin' wall. Most fans want to see their team win Championships. It's not OK to take a fans money and then squander those resources and opportunities to improve the team. In most cases in professional sports, that gets people fired. Of course not. But that doesn't mean we should play this season with 14 players and a payroll hundreds of thousands below the other contending MLS teams. Maybe if we had spent a few extra bucks on a guy like Victor Nunez last year, he wouldn't have blown two chances to put MLS Cup on ice like Pat Noonan did.
