For some reason, the Patriots are on a “poor persecuted us” press tour, and Robert Kraft is continuing with this weird narrative.

The Patriots owner stopped over at Boston Sports Tonight to share his thoughts about the people who wish that the Patriots dynasty would completely fall. (We're not sure who these people are, but apparently, they exist.)

“Seventeen years ago, we were Cinderella — and I understand it, and if I wasn't a fan of the Patriots, I'd feel the same way. And you know what? To all those people, we hope we're going to make you keep feeling that way for quite a while.”

Robert Kraft is referring to the halcyon days of 2002, when the Patriots won the Super Bowl and were, in fact, considered the underdogs of the NFL. Now, however, things are very different, and Kraft said that he and his son (who is the Patriots' president) were marveling at the difference between then and now.

“The gates didn't open until 8, and we saw this sense of community and commitment. We just pinch ourselves. It's so special, the kind of support we've gotten from the fans. We're passionate about trying to do our part and setting the organization up with the ability to win, and we're lucky to have the people we have in place.”

Robert Kraft will watch from the bleachers as the New England Patriots play the Los Angeles Rams at the Super Bowl this Sunday in Atlanta, Georgia. Kick-off begins at 3:00 PM EST, and check your local listings for the channel.
