Are Patriots Players Miserable?

This is a very loose rumor, but I think it’s our duty to share it anyway.

Because it’s about giving you, the reader, all of the information we can find. We report, you decide, just like FOX News.

This is not an attempt to frame a narrative about the contemptible and scandalous New England Patriots. This is fair and balanced journalism, free of bias.

A Boston sports anchor named Mike Giardi has a source who says some of the Pats aren’t exactly in a good spot right now:

Bill Belichick making people miserable? You don’t say!

From the story:

A source tells Mike Giardi some Patriots “don’t feel appreciated,” and Bill Belichick is making “planet players” (such as Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski) miserable.

Hmmm…

Giardi followed the NBC Sports Boston writeup with this tweet:

Ummm, not all of them…just a few of the big dogs https://t.co/QfyBIxjGc8

Okay, so not everybody is miserable. Just a couple of the big boys, the ones who make the most money and are married to Brazilian/German supermodels. The ones with multiple Super Bowl rings who will eventually end up in the Hall of Fame. Those guys are the miserable ones. Not everybody.

This might lend some credence to Lane Johnson’s assertion from awhile back that New England players weren’t having any fun. He referred to the Patriots as a “fear-based” organization in post-Super Bowl comments.

“I’d much rather have fun and win a Super Bowl than be miserable and win five Super Bowls,” said Johnson last month.

Tedy Bruschi politely clapped back at Johnson for his comments, and Lane replied by calling the former Patriots linebacker a “company man.”

So that’s the story for now. Again, just one guy with a source here, but it’s our duty as a respected online publication to shed light on this topic and allow you, the reader, to cast judgment. We wouldn’t engage in irresponsible reporting by purposefully trying to slander the revolting and utterly loathsome New England Patriots.
