Bringing Light and Justice to the World
So you put zero blame on Bill and Kraft?
Btw, There have been many players since 2000 that can’t stand the Patriots/Bill. Brady and Gronk are hardly outliers in that respect.
Blame for what precisely?
I'm a managent and ownership guy mostly because I had spent all of my youth in my dad's built from nothing business and many years running my own and know what it takes and the incredible level of thought, time and effort to build success.
I fully appreciated and took care of my employees extremely well. But make no mistake if any one, even the best and most skilled where harming morale which translates fully to a breakdown of the culture I built which leads to lack of production which properly understood was a win/win/win for all involved. My employees, customers and myself it was time to say goodbye.
Sometimes it was painful, emotionally painful but the right thing to do was to put the highest value on what I had created which provided great benefit to many. That benefit was not my goal but it was quite synergistic and ultimately symbiotic.
Gronk and Brady, especially Brady had become a turd in the punch bowl as evidenced by his terrible demeanor in press conferences in what, 2019 when they were approaching 8 and 0 predicated a good deal on fantastic defense.
Tom exhibited much more than that and he had to go. I was completely ready for the divorce. Divorces tend to be messy for emotion has an ability to screw shit up.
I've had diva employees who were in fact fantastic at their craft yet the diva factor, demands, shit talking and more made them more than expendable as my goals were long-term, well thought out and hard fought for.
Yeah, they had to go.
Iin the interest of the same fairness I gave my employees because we both benefitted with a full and open hearing of where they were coming from I'm open to have it pointed out where I'm off the mark here..
