New England Patriots - Continued Dominance

 

            When you think of the Patriots, the first thing you think of is that they are a good team. Every year since Robert Kraft took over ownership of the team in 1994, the Patriots have been considered contenders to win the Super Bowl. Dominance is on one of the many words you could use to describe the Patriots, and the three main reasons behind that word, are Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. The question that everyone asks is "Why have the Patriots been so good over the years?", and to answer that, you have to look at the head honcho of it all. What makes the Patriots' who they are, starts with the owner. Robert Kraft purchased one of the leagues least successful clubs in the Patriots in January of 1994. In the teams first 34 years of existence, they won a total of 225 games, and since Kraft has taken over, the Patriots have already surpassed that in just 19 seasons of ownership. And to add onto the teams disappointments, in the five seasons prior to Kraft becoming the owner, the Patriots had the worse overall record. Winning nineteen out of the eighty games played during those five years. The Patriots organization was at its worse, and that is when Robert Kraft came in. Kraft was very outgoing about his intention to bring a championship to New England. And he came through with exactly that. In the nineteen full seasons that Kraft has been owner of the Patriots, his major accomplishments include building a new stadium in 2002, winning their division thirteen times, including six American Conference Championship wins, and most importantly, three Super Bowl wins. He saved the team from moving to Connecticut or Rhode Island, and revamped the team into what is now known as one of the most successful teams in all of sports. Kraft bought the Patriots for one hundred and seventy two million, and that is just a fraction of the teams worth now. When you think about the effect on Kraft making the Patriots such a successful team, the facts explain it all.
