This post represents an appreciative look from a die-hard Pats
fan.  I suspect it will draw the ire of disappointed Pats fans,
and further encourage the trolls to continue rubbing our
collective noses in a disappointing loss.  Oh well, such is the
price one pays for stating an opinion:  To Mr. Kraft:  thanks
for bringing a near-annual playoff caliber team to our region. 
Given the opinions often stated on this board by folks who
obviously know alot more about building a team than your staff
does - you'd think our team was the disgrace of the league (er,
well, other than the Raiders).  But the truth is, you've enabled
your staff to put consistent winners on the field for about a
decade - something no other team in the NFL has been able to
accomplish.  My heartfelt thanks for making this team worthy of
my time and emotional investment.  Thanks also for making this
team relavent for a long time and for the three SB trophies
presently sitting in the headquarters building.  I'm not just a
Pats fan, I'm a proud one
