Colts have 20/1 odds to reach Super Bowl LI
But Robert Kraft just can’t help taking a small shot at Peyton and Eli Manning, and that’s ok. He seemed to think it should have been the Pats’ Tom Brady.
When asked about his trip to Super Bowl 50, Kraft not-so-offhandedly mentioned, “I happened to see Archie [Manning] there”.
Super Bowl VIII between the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings and Super Bowl III between the New York Jets and Baltimore Colts are the only other Super Bowls that didn’t feature a touchdown pass. The Dolphins beat the Vikings 24-7 behind two Larry Csonka rushing touchdowns.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has never been one to shy away from the microphone, and even though Peyton Manning and the Broncos beat his team in the AFC championship game and then won Super Bowl 50, the longtime owner is still poking fun. “But with all due respect, we have one son who has won four”, he said, via Yahoo Sports. He may not always be right, but at least he’s entertaining. Can you believe they booed Tom before the game?
This is the very essence of the Patriot Way, which is to say it can’t stand anyone but the Patriots getting glory for more than five seconds. So while Kraft’s “son” has more rings than any Manning son, the Mannings hold the overall edge when it comes to playoff matchups.
If you listen to the show you realize I am not a New England Patriots fan.
Tom Brady has four rings, true.
The late-season slide responsible for New England’s trip to Denver did not escape owner Bob Kraft’s notice. Kraft told WCVB that he encountered Archie Manning while attending the game in Santa Clara.
