The credit for the New England Patriots’ run this decade is given to Vice President of player-personnel Scott Pioli, head coach Bill Belichick, and owner Robert Kraft. Players and coaches leave the Patriots, but the team remains a contender. These men have built a dynasty in an era designed to prevent dynasties, and are on the verge of becoming the greatest team of all time. So they do deserve a few props.. But apparently, most of the glory should go to God.
In January of 2000 the Kraft Family Stadium opened in Jerusalem. The New England Patriots won the Superbowl in 2001. Coincidence? Robert Kraft doesn’t think so.
“Before building the field in Jerusalem, the Patriots had never won a Super Bowl. Since building the field we have three championships. This could not have been by chance.”
So the Patriots owner built a stadium in the Holy Land and got blessed with some Superbowls and possibly a 16-0 season? I don’t know if I’m buying that.. Doesn’t matter what I think as long as Robert Kraft believes it. If this is true, where on Earth did the Cincinnati Bengals owner donate a stadium? Mississippi?!?
Football continues to try to expand globally. NFL Europe failed but they’ll try again. The good news is guys are playing American football in Italy
