Patriots News: Awkward on-air moment between Pat McAfee and Robert Kraft has Patriots fans worked up

[MadMax]

Things got really awkward on the College GameDay set at the end of a segment featuring New England Patriots coach Robert Kraft on Saturday. One of the show’s hosts, Pat McAfee, first complimented Kraft on the many years of success he’s had with the Patriots organization. “Greatest dynasty in the history of professional sports. You should be incredibly proud of that. You’ve kicked a lot of ass for the NFL, Robert Kraft,” said McAfee. Knowing the Patriots are sitting at 3-10 with no hope of making the playoffs, Kraft came back with a respectable answer aimed directly at the future of the team. “We like to win. So we wanna do everything we can to get our team back so we can be winning,” said Kraft. After those comments from Kraft, things suddenly took a turn when McAfee followed up with what is being taken as a hint towards the parting of ways between the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick. “I don’t envy your position, what’s about to happen,” said McAfee. “We all know. We don’t have to ask.” Robert Kraft: "We like to win, so we wanna do everything we can to get our team back so we can be winning…" Pat McAfee: "I don't envy your position, what's about to happen.
