Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has not made any decision on his future, but if he decides to retire, Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian believes that he can make a seamless transition to general manager for an National Football League franchise.
Kraft had just returned from the Super Bowl, where he saw commissioner Roger Goodell. “But with all due respect, we have one son (Brady) who has won four”.
Ultimately, the bitter Kraft clearly wanted to take a shot when the opportunity presented itself, so he did.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft really isn’t that bad a guy, but there are entirely too many instances when he says or does something that leaves everyone scratching their collective heads.
Kraft has often referred to Brady as his fifth son, and the two have become quite close over the quarterbacks’ 16-year career.
Kraft’s right – at least about the rings part. “He knew the strengths and weaknesses of every player on every defense in the AFC and many on offense, because he met them and got to know them at the Pro Bowl and soaked up information”. Peyton Manning has a 3-2 playoff record against Belichick and the Patriots, winning three conference title games against the Patriots.
Of the booing that Brady received at Levi’s Stadium when he was introduced during a ceremony before the game, Kraft said, “We didn’t hear it. …”

Kraft added that he regretted his team’s failure to lock up home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs. New England sputtered down the stretch, losing its final two games of the regular season. Eli and Peyton have combined for four rings, while Brady has captured four.
