The big boss, Robert Kraft, has officially spoken and what he's claiming may surprise a few folks out in football land.
According to Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston via an Andrea Kremer of NFL Network interview during Super Bowl week, the New England Patriots boss now admits “tension” does exist within the organization.
“No, no,” Kraft said, via Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston. “There’s no dysfunction. There’s tension. And I think a certain amount of tension helps make great things happen.”
Whatever degree of spin you believe the Krafts are after during Super Bowl week, they're both admitting to “tension” while fully battling off accusations of “dysfunction.” Jonathan Kraft touched on it further.
“Dysfunction is when people take energy and use it to think about how to undermine other people. That does not happen,” team president Jonathan Kraft said. “If it happens in this organization, I haven’t seen it.”
Kraft was responding to questions relating to the hotly-discussed report by Seth Wickersham of ESPN that stated the rift between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady had reached epic proportions to the point many should think about the duo possibly ending their partnership after the 2017 season. Bray's personal trainer, Alex Guerero, was pointed out as a key cog in the issues that lay within the Pats' structure.
Tension, dysfunction … honestly, who knows. The only fact that matters comes in the form of eight—meaning eight Super Bowl appearances for the duo of Belichick and Brady once this Sunday comes and goes.
Belichick is looking to tie the immortal Vince Lombardi with his sixth NFL title while Brady is attempting to extend is already record sixth Super Bowl title as a quarterback, two clear of both Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw.
Super Bowl 52 comes your way this Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, at 6:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on NBC.
