Life was a lot better when we were despised instead of pitied.
Still, no one should blame us for feeling bereft of hope.
We’re staring into the abyss of six seasons without a postseason victory.
All we have besides to young, emerging superstars are intangibles.
A ton of cap space.
And probably the first No.
1 overall pick since Drew Bledsoe in 1993.
The fact it’s currently occupied, notwithstanding.
Even when Brick (giggle) was 14 years old.
But he wants the Patriots.
There’s simply too much smoke for there not to be a raging fire of interest here.
As far as Mr. Kraft wanting to stick by Mayo, it’s understandable.
No one wants to fire someone they’ve been interested in hiring for five years or more.
There’s an emotional connection there.
As well as an element of fairness.
Mayo was given the nearly impossible task of replacing the Irreplaceable Man.
And handed the worst roster in the league.
The Krafts saw future greatness in him, and no doubt still do.
But this isn’t about emotional connections, relationships, respect or human levels of anything.
You make this move and don’t look back.
All I want for early 2025 is for this to happen.
