News about Robert Kraft

Robert Kraft has opened up on the emotional moment Tom Brady told him he was leaving the New England Patriots - admitting it felt like he was losing a child. Brady cemented his legacy as arguably the greatest quarterback of all time during his iconic 20-year spell in New England, where he won six of his record seven Super Bowl titles. Yet after two decades with the franchise, the three-time MVP opted to call time on his legendary Patriots career in 2020, deciding against signing a new deal and instead joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft says safety Jabrill Peppers is 'gone' if the domestic violence allegations against him are proven true. '[The NFL will] do their independent checking. We're doing ours,' Kraft told The Breakfast Club podcast. 'If what was reported is true, he's gone.'

Sotheby's, a 280-year-old company with a market cap of $2.6billion, staged an auction in Harlem last week to sell what American mothers traditionally dismiss as scraps of cardboard. These days trading cards are made using sleek, elegant card stock and, of course, they're no longer sold with chewing gum or tobacco. There are holograms, limited printings, and even pieces of authentic game-worn jerseys, all of which can turn a 2.5''X3.5'' souvenir into a six- or seven-figure treasure. Then there are the vintage ancestors of modern cards, like the rare 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente rookie that went for $840,000 - the evening's top selling price.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft purchased a gem mint condition Tom Brady rookie card for $120,000 at a Sotheby's auction in New York City on Tuesday evening. With the legendary Patriots quarterback turned NFL color commentator sitting next to him, Kraft won the card with a bid of $100,000 - eventually paying $120k for the autographed piece of memorabilia. Kraft was alongside Brady and Fanatics owner Michael Rubin at the 'Holy Grails' auction in Harlem - where rare and special trading cards and collectibles were put up for sale.

No longer believed to be the father of Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins' unborn child, Las Vegas Raiders and Aces owner Mark Davis was seen courtside with a mystery date on Tuesday as he watched the visiting Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark in Sin City. The 69-year-old Davis appeared to be quite a few years older than the unidentified brunette seated to his right on Tuesday as his Aces breezed to an easy win. Of course, that's not so shocking in NFL circles these days after 83-year-old New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's marriage to 50-year-old Dana Blumberg or 72-year-old Bill Belichick's budding romance with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson.

Tom Brady was gifted a unique, one-of-a-kind ring the night before his New England Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony by team owner Robert Kraft. It was revealed in a social-media video posted by the Patriots that Kraft gave him the gift to commemorate the quarterback's 20 years with the franchise. The ring has at least a dozen small diamonds on it with a giant Patriots logo on the front. It resembles the design of a Super Bowl ring.

Tom Brady appeared on the Fox Sports booth for the first time after signing a lucrative 10-year, $375million contract to become the network's lead NFL analyst starting this fall. On Sunday, the seven-time Super Bowl champion joined Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt on the call for Fox's coverage of the United Football League Championship. Brady's debut came just four days after he got inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. In the same ceremony, team owner Robert Kraft revealed that his iconic jersey number (12) has been retired, and a 12-foot bronze statue will be built in his honor outside Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots threw the event at Gillette Stadium to honor Brady's time in New England and enshrine his career in their history books. Portnoy - along with John Feitelberg, Hank Lockwood, and Paul Gulczynski of the infamous Brady 4 - was at the event as Robert Kraft's guests. After getting trolled for leaving the ceremony before Brady took the podium, the Barstool Sports chief took to Twitter to explain his reasons. Sporting a Celtics hat, Portnoy detailed that he left to catch the end of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks. 'The ceremony was supposed to end at 9.30 [and] it's running really late,' Portnoy says. 'I don't even see the end of the door at 9.30. Kraft still has to go, Brady still has to go, and we're moving into the mid-third quarter.

A 12-foot bronze statue of Tom Brady will be erected outside Gillette Stadium to honor the New England Patriots Hall of Famer. During his induction to the franchise Hall of Fame on Wednesday, team owner Robert Kraft revealed the big news while introducing the former quarterback in Foxborough. 'Tommy's induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame is why we are all here tonight,' Kraft said. 'Our goal was to create a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony for a one-of-a-kind player. I hope we accomplish that goal with a few firsts.

Just weeks after hinting that he was 'not a saint' during his younger years as a rock star, Jon Bon Jovi and wife Dorothea Hurley put on show of unity at the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for Tom Brady at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The singer-songwriter has been a close friend of Patriot's owner Robert Kraft for decades, which led to him becoming pals with Brady, who's widely considered the greatest of all time when it comes to the National Football League. The couple snuggled up next to each other while posing along the red, white and blue carpet, which is in recognition of the team's colors, with the You Give Love A Bad Name musician looking stylish in fitted black pants with a charcoal blazer over a black and white polka dot shirt. He had his gray hair styled short, compared to 1980s, with a side part and slightly over the ears, while sporting cool dark sunglasses, like his wife, who stood to his left in a cream-colored, floral-patterned suit, consisting of slacks and a matching blazer. The fellow New Jerseyan also wore a gold ruffled dress shirt with black lining along the ruffled portion in the front.

The Celtics have Al Horford signed through next season, but that's not stopping the veteran power forward from putting his family's Boston-area mansion up for sale for an eye-watering $9 million. Horford and his teammates currently hold a 1-0 series lead on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, so the sale may not be occupying much of his attention at the moment. The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home is protected by a wrought iron gate and perimeter fence in Brookline - a ritzy suburb that has been inhabited by everyone from Tom Brady and Robert Kraft to John F. Kennedy.

Rob Gronkowski spiking a shot glass on stage at the Tom Brady roast brutally injured a girl sitting in the front row, claims comedian Andrew Schulz. Brady was roasted by a number of high-profile figures as part of a live Netflix special on Sunday, with Gronkowski also the subject of various jokes before taking to the podium himself at Kia Forum. At one stage of the evening, the two former New England teammates enjoyed a break from the roastings and knocked back a shot with ex-coach Bill Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft - before Gronk performed one of his signature spikes.

On Sunday, Brady publicly showed that he didn't approve of Ross' joke on Kraft 'liking' happy endings at the end of massages,' by going up to the podium and telling him to 'not do that s**t again' in front of the audience. On Thursday, Schulz opened up about the incident. 'When Tom [Brady] checked Jeff Ross, I think that was 100 percent real,' he said, adding that he had a joke on Kraft but wasn't allowed to say it during the roast.

Tom Brady's Netflix roast provided a frosty reunion between New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former head coach Bill Belichick, Julian Edelman revealed.  Belichick agreed to relinquish his reign at the helm of the Patriots at the end of a woeful 4-13 2023 season following his 24-year tenure in New England, where he won six Super Bowls.  The legendary coach came face-to-face with his former boss following his exit at Netflix's 'The Roast of Tom Brady' on Sunday.  While the memorable evening was filled with laughter and most of the guests present, including Edelman and Drew Bledsoe, were in good spirits, the tension between Belichick and Kraft was palpable, according to the former wide receiver.

The former quarterback, 46, faced a blistering verbal attack on Sunday night's live show as he was skewered on his divorce from Bundchen , 43, and her moving on with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, 35. The supermodel, who has two children with the sportsman, was left 'hurt' and disappointed at Brady for defending the owner of his former team, Robert Kraft, but remaining silent during relentless jabs about her. But insiders revealed to DailyMail.com that Brady desperately wanted to take part in The Greatest Roast of All Time to clear the air regarding issues about his personal life and career, and said he believes his ex-wife will always find a reason to be mad at him. 'It just seems to Tom that Gisele will get angry with him for anything and everything and there is nothing he can do to change that,' the source said. 'He will continue to try to be in her good graces for the kids but he also has to stick up for himself and going through the Roast was something he wanted and needed to happen.'

Jeff Ross insists Tom Brady was not angry with his jibe about Robert Kraft - despite the NFL legend appearing to snap at him during Sunday's Netflix roast. 'Don't say that s**t again,' Brady said to Ross, after America's 'Roastmaster General' took a shot at the Patriots owner during the live show. 'Tom became a Patriot, moved up to New England, and on the first day of training camp, that scrawny rookie famously walked into the owner Robert Kraft's office and said, I'm the greatest decision your organization has ever made... would you like a massage,' Ross joked.

It's been 19 years since one of the Super Bowl championship rings owned by Robert Kraft was taken by Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Kraft hasn't forgotten.

It's been 19 years since one of the Super Bowl championship rings owned by Robert Kraft was taken by Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Kraft hasn't forgotten. During a live broadcast of The Roast of Tom Brady on Netflix, Kraft called out the world leader. 'In case Vladimir Putin you're watching, give me my f**king ring back, will ya?,' Kraft said after he gave a toast to Brady.

Tom Brady (left) had to be a good sport on Sunday as he got brutally mocked by a number of his friends and comedians including Nikki Glaser, 39, (right) during a Netflix roast. Many jokes during the star-studded show, titled The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, poked fun of the former NFL star's, 46, divorce from model Gisele Bundchen, 43, and her moving on with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, 35, (together inset). Kim Kardashian also took a swing at the football star before he hit back with a quip of his own about her ex Kanye West. Among those who roasted the retired quarterback on Sunday were host Kevin Hart, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Drew Bledsoe and Randy Moss.
