00:00If you land Juan Soto, don't you all of a sudden have to give Henry the nod over Kraft in this city?
00:07Yes, oh, because-
00:08If they land Juan Soto, don't you have to say the worst owner is not even close, Robert Kraft?
00:12No, the two have actually kind of paralleled each other quite a bit, like there's so much success, right?
00:16If you take a step back, there's so much success.
00:18But then there's been recent down years.
00:20There were times where they spent a lot, and then there have been times more recently where they haven't spent.
00:25So they mirror each other quite a bit.
00:27But this off-season for the Red Sox versus the upcoming off-season for the Patriots could break the tie easily.
00:35If you end up with Juan Soto and like a true number one pitcher, then they get the leg up.
00:40If they don't, and they bring in a Roldis Chapman and a couple other dudes,
00:44and then the Patriots go out there and get a number one receiver and like change their offensive line-
00:48Oh, you're gonna be like, now they're better!
00:49Okay, well if that happens, then you're right.
00:50Well, they're both huge ifs at this point.
00:52I don't feel confident in either one.
00:55I'm not putting money down that either team makes a major change.
00:57I'm more confident the team that makes a big ad is the Red Sox.
01:00They do it. They do it routinely.
01:02Now, it's been a while since they've done it, but they do it.
01:04And maybe now they just feel like they've been backed into a corner where they are forced to.
01:08Exactly. That's the logic.
01:09And the other thing I do give Henry Overcraft when I really sit down and think about it, they're both awful.
01:13I don't like either owner.
01:15But the one thing I give Henry is that he has found multiple ways to win.
01:19Different managers, different GMs, different crop of players.
01:21Oh, that is night and day different.
01:23The Crafts only won with Brady and Bill, but Brady.
01:26Yep.
01:27That's it. That's all they ever did as owners.
01:29They got another Super Bowl appearance with Parcells, if you want to give them that.
01:32They inherited Parcells, but they did do that.
01:34True.
01:35But that's all they ever did.
01:37So, if I'm breaking ties between two crummy owners, I break the tie in favor of Henry for that reason.
01:43But they're both crummy owners.
01:44If they go out and sign Soto, I don't even understand how you argue that Craft isn't the worst owner in the city.
01:48It is.
01:49I mean, managers are less important than head coaches, but to win with three different managers, to win a World Series with three different managers.
01:56Three different GMs.
01:57It's pretty impressive.
01:58Three different GMs.
01:59They won post-Ortiz.
02:00I was going to say, and a handful of star players and faces of the franchise.
02:04Now, they've also bottomed out, right?
02:06They've had more last-place finishes.
02:08The Patriots are staring down the barrel of another last-place finish.
02:11Give the Patriots time.
02:13They might catch them.
02:14They really might.
