The corrupt cesspool in the White House thinks those are only for dropping bombs. Kudos to the Krafts. Longtime Pats fan, but I haven’t always been a fan of everything Bob and Jonathon do. However, this is an unconditional, great thing they are doing, and will save lives.All due credit, but why the hell is this necessary? Does the U.S. government not have planes?
US government planes fly the PPE to China.All due credit, but why the hell is this necessary? Does the U.S. government not have planes?
Private planes fly it back to Massachusetts.The United States government sent nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to China—including masks and respirators—almost three weeks after the first case of the coronavirus was reported in the state of Washington.

Are you under the impression that the government moves faster than private industry?All due credit, but why the hell is this necessary? Does the U.S. government not have planes?
I complained about this elsewhere (V&N), so I'll let it drop in this thread. Suffice it to say, having to rely on private charity to acquire basic commodities is a disaster.Are you under the impression that the government moves faster than private industry?
Sure, if there was nothing else being done. But any additional things that can be done by private industry during disasters/pandemics is awesome and isn't new or unique to the current resident of the White House.I complained about this elsewhere (V&N), so I'll let it drop in this thread.

My understanding is that this was done on behalf of the state of MA not the FedsAll due credit, but why the hell is this necessary? Does the U.S. government not have planes?
Not just MA. From the article:My understanding is that this was done on behalf of the state of MA not the Feds
Of the total, 300,000 masks have been pledged to New York state, which has the most coronavirus cases in the country with more than 83,000.
Maybe once we confirm masks were all the Krafts brought back from Asia.Mods - Can we break out this wonderful gesture from the "up the butt" thread?
Let’s see the passenger manifest first. It’s a long flight.Mods - Can we break out this wonderful gesture from the "up the butt" thread?
On behalf of MA/Baker they went to NY. I.e. Baker requested it, not Trump.Not just MA. From the article:
Well, when there's no direct financial incentive private industry usually doesn't move at all, so government is faster in some instances. Back when CV news began to emerge, private industry did the usual under those circumstances but government did the same. So here we are - a football team owner flying in supplies at the behest of a state governor - with the feds discriminately parcelling out the supplies they do own. Kudos to the Krafts for stepping up.Are you under the impression that the government moves faster than private industry?
Having your own jet is pretty handy.Let’s see the passenger manifest first. It’s a long flight.
Yeah. THAT’S the problem. The fact that MA has to do this in the first place. Our country needs a lot more than a plane load of supplies.My understanding is that this was done on behalf of the state of MA not the Feds
If you're responding to me, I'd agree and will note that I specifically said a "football team owner" in reference to Kraft. FBOW the free market did what it does under these types of circumstances and left it to government. Otherwise, carry on.“Private industry” is a funny thing to call a billionaire with a plane. This is awesome by the Krafts. But it isn’t the free market at work.
Sorry, I was responding to DJ‘s use of “private industry”. I’m in agreement with you.If you're responding to me, I'd agree and will note that I specifically said a "football team owner" in reference to Kraft.

You think Bawb has left his Fortress of Solitude in the last month?Let’s see the passenger manifest first. It’s a long flight.
This needs more recognition, as it was masterful.Having your own jet is pretty handy.
B- for the choice in phrasing here. Lent a hand would have been less on the nose.
Please report back. I’d love to know who helped Kraft pull it off.this was an awesome thing that Kraft did. I wonder if there are any pictures or news in Chinese media about the plane landing and getting the masks. I’ll have to ask my Chinese friends about it.
I see what you did there...Please report back. I’d love to know who helped Kraft pull it off.
Except the Florida cops were the Keystone Kops who caught a HUGE fish in their net, and yet didn’t realize he had to means to wiggle off the hook.So did the Florida cops.

Prosecutors will tell the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal during an online hearing Tuesday that a county judge erred when he invalidated the January 2019 search warrant allowing police to install secret cameras at Orchids of Asia spa as part of an alleged sex trafficking investigation.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT Tuesday on the court’s YouTube channel.This is back in court again this week.

Lawyers clashed Tuesday over whether police went too far when they recorded activities at a Palm Beach County massage parlor in a sting that ensnared New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft last year.
Arguing in front of a three-judge panel of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, prosecutors defended the legal process that left police and prosecutors with hours of video footage, some allegedly showing Kraft and two dozen other men paying for and receiving sexual favors at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter in January 2019.
You are correct.If that’s the case then I expect Krafts lawyer to get this case dismissed as soon as possible as the state has zero case now.
I can't imagine they would let Goedert go for a late 1 or a 2 this year. But if they would take it, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Goedert is a willing enough blocker, has shown offensive upside and would be a huge addition to the team. I have to imagine there would be a multitude of suitors if he hit the market. I think they could easily pay two TEs market rate if you build an offense around 22 personnel and treat one as a de facto slot WR.With the Eagles close to a contract extension with Zach Ertz, what does that mean for the future of Dallas Goedert? He's not eligible for an extension until after next year, but are they going to commit big money to two TEs? Something to think about for the future. With the uncertainty of the draft this year, would you trade a lower 1st or 2nd round pick for Goedert? Having Goedert and Asiasi with Keene as a hybrid H-back/TE would make for an exciting TE room.
