So cool that Sir Elton called. I watched the game at Chico’s Bar in Montezuma, Costa Rica with some other Pats fans and when the field gold missed there was a cheer and right after a toast to Mrs Kraft. I’m here because my oldest dearest friend in the world made this trip with me 42 years ago. His nickname was Rocketman and he ignited too early. We are going to San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua to watch the Surfper Bowl and on the way we get to see Sir Elton in San jose and when he sings Rocketmen I now will think of Mrs Kraft as well. Sorry for the long personal message but couldn’t help it when I read your article. Thanks for bringing some Boston and New England Sports to Central America. Listening right now. Cual equipo esta de primero en la tabla? Patriots! Que  equipo mas bueno! Tom O’Flaherty {zenboi65@gmail.com, tommyotravels.com}

So how are Robert Kraft’s statements any different than Tim Tebow’s? Yet Tebow elliciates all sorts of anger for them? Just asking? No agenda on my part other than to have a discussion.

Because one achieved greatness and the other is still on the road. If a man looses his wife, dedicates something to her and then attributes his success to her influence (psychic or psychological), that is considered romantic (in the classical sense). If a young man, still to experience life, claims to have the answers because of faith, then he is considered delusional. Two completely separate ideals; any similarity is specious.

Robert was partying with the Pats later that night.  Brandon Spikes handed the phone to him as EEI interviewed him that evening, and Robert was in high spirits.  Well deserved Mr. Kraft.  

because Mr. Kraft is talking about his wife whom he lost.  He’s not thanking Allah, Christ or Sir Elton John for his good fortune nor is he sticking his wife’s memory in everyone’s face. He mentioned his appreciation for her, acknowledged her memory for whatever good fortune the Pats experienced and moved on.

big deal .,I called him right after the game ended as well, I’m stil on hold , but as soon as bob picks up ,I’ll brag about it here first.

if you didn’t think its a big deal, then why did you click the link to read the story…and better yet comment on it…

Could you point me to the specific “anger” articles or otherwise you are referring to?  He’s the most popular football player on the planet right now according to polls.  He has the #1 selling jersey.  He is emulated by children everywhere.  The only derogatory statements I have read have to do with his play, not his beliefs.  So I’d honestly like to see some evidence of this anti-Tebow movement you refer to.

Because what Kraft said was just a nice sentimental something that no one is expected to actually believe. What Tebow says, he believes right to the core and always will. That rattles and irritates certain people because they don’t even want to face the question that God may actually exist.
