Robert Kraft took a shot at the Colts tonight

[RockThatBlue]

"There's nothing more satisfying than saddling the Indianapolis Colts with a loss, something the Patriots did 16 times in Willie McGinest's career," Kraft said after the two-time Pro Bowl linebacker was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame at halftime of New England's game against Miami.

The crowd then roared after seeing video of McGinest making a tackle on a goal-line stop against the Colts to seal a win in November 2003.

Holograms carry no weight.

[WoolMagnet]

Well, when he looks in the mirror, he knows to what length they went to ( "****" ) in order to get those wins. He knows.

Let him talk. Its his right.

Was that the goal line stand the play after he FAKED the injury.

Doesn't surprise me the Pats value that. Thats right in their wheelhouse.

I'd take a shot too at a team I own, I have no problem with this. don't like it? Beat them and shut them up

Always talk down on those you own, it's trash talk 101. Keep talking until them make you be silent

[indy1888]

Didn't he already make this statement once earlier this season?  Was this a recording?  Thought for sure he said the exact same thing back during the preseason?

[Gavin]

Again this sort of thing came up in a previous thread a few weeks ago. Not a big deal, We had a heated rivalry with them back then so of course Kraft will bring that up, He is not the first to bring up past rivalries during speeches nor will he be the last. Non story

[Jules]

Sigh, here we go again.

 

I wonder how many pages this will end up.

I'm embarrassed to say it really isn't a rivary.

Man those Peyton vs Brady days were great fun tho.

I have a feeling years down the road i will appreciate that time even more. Now, my feelings about the NE organization clouds my full appreciation of the Peyton years especially. I do miss that "rivalry" and 2006 allows me to die a happy man (football-wise anyway).

[Derakynn]

I sense a high content of salt.

[CanuckColt]

Arrogant bunch, aren't they?

"Pride cometh before a fall"....the Patriots are overdue for some major injuries...

Now where is that voodoo doll?

[Bubbz]

It does sound pretty cocky and arrogant. I dont think many other owners would be classless enough to say that. Most would give the pc "a win is a win" mantra. Especially considering its not intra-division. 

 

We all know that the Patriots organization is the most classless organization in all of sports, so these arrogant comments should come as no surprise. I'm being dead serious when I say it must truly make the Pats organization stay up at night knowing their success would not have been as great without the cheating. Otherwise why else would you have to make a comment about a team youve beaten over 2/3s the time in the last 15 years?

 

I cant wait until Brady retires and the Pats lose their dominance. I bet a lot of the Patriots posters disappear then. It speaks volumes as to why there are so many more Pats fans here than any other fans from other teams.

[a06cc]

It will only be better when we beat them in NE in the playoffs.

[zibby43]

At least Aaron Hernandez didn't take a shot at the Colts tonight.

"This team can play with anybody".

*Rimshot*

Priceless!!!

[bap1331]

Honestly, how did he get into Lucas Oil Stadium without getting his butt kicked or leave with food poisoning?

[ricker182]

Good thing we Colt fans are a patient lot.

Not trying to be mean but his wife did pass away a few years ago.

[WoolMagnet]

Not trying to be mean but his wife did pass away a few years ago.

I know that. What did i say that relwted to that?

I meant good thing we colt fans are patient, because it could be a while till we beat them (khwrma).

I eouldnt intentionally take a shot at anything remotely o that.

Did i miss something?

[ReMeDy]

"This team can play with anybody".

But... "a win is hard to come by in the NFL." I smell a contradiction.

[GoColts8818]

If you have to take a shot at another team during a Hall of Fame celebration that says a lot about you, however I at least suspected Kraft was a petty person this just confirms it for me.

Agreed. Dude just won his 4th super bowl and talks about how happy he is to beat Indy in a regular season game. Pretty petty and silly.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Yeah, he was probably busy with someone named Bubba in lockdown.

[NBColtsFanatic]

What an annoying classless little man

[crazycolt1]

There was once a long time ago when Kraft was thought of a guy with class. Well, that was a long time a go.

Was that the game where he faked this horrible injury and then was on the field a couple of plays later?

[Mr.Debonair]

Wasn't it one play later?

[Restored]

Cue the Patriots fan coming in to Kraft's defense in 3..2..1...

[bababooey]

He's such a farce. Remember when his wife died? "MHK" all season then he is court side at the Celtics game a few months after the superbowl w his supermodel girlfriend. Total scum

[pgt_rob]

He is a small little ignoramus.

[IndyD4U]

Who cares?!

 

For real

[SteelCityColt]

This x 1000, if you can't take a little fun poking. 

 

Let's face it, of the mob above if the situations were reversed how many would be calling Irsay "classless"?

Only the ones with no class, like Kraft. Have any of us heard Irsay make any negative remarks about any other owner or their team?

[Somewhere ovr the Waynebow]

Not to a big deal to me. We are rivals, these things happen. If the Colts want it to stop, then they need to beat them in the playoffs this year.

They cut off the sentence............." after he cheated by faking an injury to give the defense time to rest...or else we would have lost that game in November 2003"  "Good thing for us our cheating wasn't detected during the other 15 games, or we'd be thought less of than we are now"

Irsay showed a video of Saturday blocking a Patriot for the winning score, of course that was the AFC title game that got us to our only SB win of that era. I don't think he took any shots at the Pats, not even since they cheated against us did he say anything that hinted as a dig.

Not quite the same comparison... if he'd commented on that play in particular and said "Nothing like beating dem Pats"... would you call him classless?

[PeterBowman]

anything that I'd like to say about this has already been posted by others on the Stampedeblue comments section of this very story lol

I'll chime in and say it wouldn't be very classy but that's just me. Kraft said something before about the Colts just to get cheers from the fans. I think he's trying to win back his fan base after they all basically hated him for putting his head between his legs to the acceptance of deflategate's punishment of losing draft picks.
