Some might be interested here. It's a good interview; nothing too revelatory about the team now or Bill etc.

One thing though noticeable, and it's like this with many ultra-successful businessmen. They have this reality distortion field. When he was talking about the history of Gillette Stadium and his purchase of the team, and talked about refusing a lot of money to love the team to St Louis and how loyal he was to the area and would never move ete etc, it's like the deal he made with Hartford, Conn never happened! I mean, he actually signed on for that deal to move the team to Hartford, and it only fell through because of residents' objections. It's like these people have the ability to just push events that they don't like away and forget about them like they never happened.
I will give him huge credit, though for financing the build of Gillette Stadium without any local government money. That was all privately paid for, and it is very rare to have an NFL stadium in the country where tax dollars did not contribute. In fact, Boston is thus the only city in professional sports in which all facilities are privately owned and operated.
