The amount of people that have come out of the woodwork and gone out of their way to make cruel comments to me about yesterday’s @patriots loss is unconscionable. It is unjustified, unnecessary and most importantly, unwarranted. Were the shoe on the other foot, I would never make anyone feel badly in any way shape or form. I live by The Golden Rule: Treat others like you want to be treated. • From social media posts, to texts, to WhatsApp messages; the response has been outrageous. And hurtful. • All my Patriots have done is provide you all with the rare spectacle of true and pure greatness for nearly 2 decades. Can you not appreciate this precious feat? When did being the embodiment greatness become such a reprehensible act? • Please try to understand that I am in mourning. How so many of you lack the ability to show sympathy or empathy for me during this situation is painfully baffling. • Please, I beg of you, tread lightly and courteously as I find a way to navigate this extremely difficult and sensitive time. • Thank you.
