1.) Did not read the linked Patsfan.com article nor did I read any quotes from Bedard. But I'll give my 2 cents below...LOL.
2.) Kraft is pretty old though...he is in fact older than the two guys running for president this year. While I think he is still somewhat mentally sharp...there have been some issues in recent years that ahem...(cough...Orchids of Asia...couch) have put in question his competency. I mean what billionaire goes across the railroad tracks to get a discounted massage when he could very well have 10 masseuses for private sessions at his house? The word I heard was that he thought that he and the masseuse had a "relationship".... Dunno. And there's the whole "hanging out with Hollywood Celbs" thing in recent years...but if you are a billionaire...who do you hang out with?
3.) Jonathan, per rumors, wasn't exactly loved by Belichick (but does Belichick love anyone else than Ernie, his family, and Bon Jovi? LOL) ...and allegedly....Belichick never acknowledged Jonathan. Dunno if that is true.... I am not sure if Jonathan would make a good owner in terms of making football decisions, but he has been a participant at the Solan sports analytics conferences in recent year...and also stood by RKK over the last 25 years observing everything. I also liked his commentary on how we should revisit the Commissioner's unquestioned power over the personal conduct policy.
4.) At some point, RKK needs to step down....but I think we are fine with him at the helm as long as we have a good front office/coaching staff structure making football decisions collectively. I'd hope for the same if Jonathan were to take over....at least I think he would have sued Goodell/NFL 8 years ago like RKK should have....
