News about Robert Kraft

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.

Tom Brady willingly signed up for a roast and America's 'Roastmaster General' Jeff Ross took a shot that the quarterback took an exception to. In Netflix's live production of the 'Greatest Roast of All Time', Ross delivered a line that referenced when Brady introduced himself to Patriots owner Robert Kraft. 'He said, I'm the greatest decision your organization has ever made... would you like a massage,' Ross joked.

The drums have been beating for nearly a fortnight at Manhattan's Columbia University, the noise reverberating around the campus of one of America's most prestigious seats of learning. It is energising some students and academics but putting others on edge, for the drums are the accompaniment to ceaseless chants about the virtues of the Palestinian cause and the wickedness of 'colonial' Israel. Protesters insist they are demanding only peace in Gaza and an end to the humanitarian crisis there, and complain that anti-Zionism shouldn't be confused with anti-Semitism. However, many of the slogans and placards tell a very different story: 'Brick by brick, wall by wall, Israel will fall'; 'There is only one solution, intifada revolution'; 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' and 'By any means necessary'. They call, implicitly or explicitly, for the extinction of Israel. As student protests, and mass arrests by police breaking up those protests, have this week spread like wildfire across the US to at least 30 campuses and rising, many say America is witnessing a crisis in academia that has been years in the making - and might yet spread to the UK.

The Columbia alum, 82, condemned the series of demonstrations on campus accompanied by physical violence as 'cowardice,' in an op-ed. 'I am a firm believer in freedom of speech. But 'free speech' is not calling for physical violence with your face hidden behind masks and coverings - that's cowardice,' he wrote. The owner of the New England Patriots called on campus leaders to 'show courage and stop radical professors from poisoning young minds.' Kraft's op-ed comes just two days after he withdrew his financial support from the Ivy League school, saying that he had lost confidence in the school's ability to protect its students amid anti-Israel protests.

DailyMail.com can reveal that a gated perimeter has been set up with a 24-hour guard at the President's House, a 10,000ft palace just a few blocks from the school where her $42,000, red Tesla Y remains parked in the driveway. The historic six-story mansion was given to the university leader for the duration of her tenure in the role, which has an estimated salary of nearly $5 million per year.  Should it ever go on the market, the property would be worth around $16million.

Anti-Israel protesters in camps on the Columbia University campus received a 48 hour extension from the school's under fire president to disperse after they ignored the original deadline. This comes as protesters claim that the school officials have threatened to call in the National Guard in order to bring back order to the Ivy League campus which has been besieged by pro-Palestine protesters since last Wednesday. In the midst of the unrest, Columbia president Minouche Shafik has been faced with calls to resign.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik announced there is a midnight deadline for protesters to dismantle their encampment or she will have to consider 'alternative options.'  The Ivy League saw its seventh day of protests on Tuesday as students stage a sit-in to demand the university divest from companies profiting from Israel's war and sever academic ties with its universities. 'The encampment raises serious safety concerns, disrupts campus life, and has created a tense and hostile environment for our community. It is essential that we move forward with a plan to dismantle it,' Shafik said in an email to the community.

Billionaire donors should follow alumni Robert Kraft's lead and divest from Columbia. Board members should resign en masse. Jewish students should withdraw and demand that their tuition be refunded in full. A class action lawsuit surely awaits. Still standing are what CNN politely calls 'Gaza solidarity camps' on the Columbia quad, where students screaming for the elimination of Israel and the birth of another Holocaust are also, per a cheerful dispatch from New York Times, 'in a rather upbeat mood, noshing on donated pizza and snacks' - organic snacks at that. Of course. One must not skimp on proper nutrition while persecuting Jews. 'An impromptu dance party had even broken out,' the Times reported. How wonderful! Are these protestors also fully committing to the misogyny, rape, torture, and honor killings so central to Hamas?

Embattled president Minouche Shafik announced that remote learning will remain in place until the end of the Spring semester amid the ongoing tensions. Turmoil at the university ramped up on Monday during the major Jewish holiday of Passover, when protesters camped out for the seventh day in an attempt to urge the school to divest from companies with financial ties to Israel. 'Safety is our highest priority as we strive to support our students' learning and all the required academic operations,' the Ivy League school said. Critics have called on parents of Jewish students to demand refunds from Columbia, where tuition costs up to $80,000-a-year.

Hedge fund boss Leon Cooperman did not hold back while addressing the escalating anti-Israel demonstrations at the Ivy League school, where pro-Palestine protesters were seen again on Monday after being dispersed by the NYPD last week. 'These kids are f***ing crazy. They don't understand what they're doing or what they're talking about,' Cooperman, the son of Jewish-Polish immigrants, told CNN on Monday, adding the protesters 'have to be controlled.' However, the Columbia alum expressed support for embattled university president Minouche Shafik, who canceled in-person learning on Monday due to the ongoing chaos. 'My view is that finally they are doing the right thing at the school,' he said. 'The administration is now responding properly... The president is now saying the right things.' Referring to anti-Semitic people, Cooperman added: 'F*** them all.' Meanwhile Democratic New York governor Kathy Hochul issued a statement recorded at the Columbia campus. 'This morning I went to Columbia University and convened City Hall, NYPD & Columbia's President to discuss the need to fight antisemitism and protect public safety,' Hochul posted on X. 'The recent harassment and rhetoric is vile and abhorrent. Every student deserves to be safe.'

Was it poor references that prevented six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick from getting another job this offseason? And did New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft warn his rivals not to trust the man who guided his team to nine AFC titles? That is the crux of Wednesday's ESPN report, which goes on to assert that Kraft talked Blank out of hiring Belichick despite the Falcons owner considering him to be a 'living legend.' Multiple sources spoke to the World Wide Leader about Kraft's relationship with Belichick and how it may have impacted the former Patriots coach's 2024 job search. Belichick agreed to leave New England after the team's 4-13 performance in 2023 - his 24th year at the helm. But even before his departure, Belichick's relationship with Kraft was rumored to be frayed, even if the two seemed amicable at the coach's outgoing press conference in February.

With Kraft and other key players of the team interviewed in-depth, the Patriots gave all of their internal video archives for the docuseries, which was announced in February. "I felt sad" that so much emphasis was put on the more complicated and, in effect, "challenging" situations in recent 20 years,' Kraft said. I wish they had stayed more on our Super Bowl victories, rather than our 21-game win streak.' I felt bad that hours and hours of interviews were wasted, but they felt only the negativity [was used].'

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, Kraft told Ridley's partner Dominique Fitchard that 'preferred to be in the south,' thus struggling to find the receiver in Foxborough. Ridley announced on March 13 that he had agreed to a four-year, $92 million contract, with $50 million fully guaranteed to join the Tennessee Titans following a single season with the Jaguars. He said the team had been able to make up the difference in taxes between Massachusetts and Tennessee, while acknowledging that the QB situation may have been a factor,' Reiss' tweet.

'Gronk' has been dating Sports Illustrated model Camille Kostek since 2015, and though the couple have been unmarried since then, he isn't going to be disappointed with his longtime partner anytime soon.' The former tight end of the Patriots said, 'Kraft is always being silly,' the 82-year-old business exec' said.

Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison, both former New England Patriots players, have slammed the franchise's portrayal in Apple TV's final cut. The 'The Dynasty: The New England Patriots,' a show on Apple TV+, delves into the Patriots' 20-year unstoppable streak under Tom Brady-Bill Belichick's partnership. Apple filmmakers were able to convince more than 25 actors, mentor, and executives to open up on camera, including CEO Robert Kraft, Belichick, and Tom Brady. Both McCourty and Harrison sat down with filmmakers, but felt their voices were wrongly dismissed.

After being arrested for murder, New England Patriots president Jonathan Kraft revealed that he was the one to press the decision to release former tight end Aaron Hernandez. Jonathan, the son of team owner Robert Kraft, was the one who made the decision to break ties with Hernandez in the latest episode of Apple's episodic documentary 'The Dynasty.' In the 2013 offseason, the tight end and New England native was arrested for the murder of semi-professional footballer Odin Lloyd.

Hernandez was found guilty of murdering Lloyd in 2013 and taking his own in 2017 after serving a life term for the first degree. The most recent episode of Apple TV's 'The Dynasty: New England Patriots,' which was published on Friday, provided a chilling glimpse into the franchise's reactions to Hernandez's time in New England. Kraft was taken by surprise by his detention, with the franchise's owner taking a parental approach towards his player. Kraft opened up on his close friendship with Hernandez, even revealing that he reached the wrong end to inquire about Lloyd's murder and promising to provide him with a lawyer.
