Even given how Hernandez wound up, Kraft continues to invoke “the Patriot Way,” especially the idea that the Patriots are like a family, at least to him (if not to the “family members” that Belichick will jettison for cheaper parts). Kraft, who is now seventy-six, cuts a more rumpled figure in his office than the magnate we see on TV. During games, Kraft will sit in his private box watching the action through binoculars from a raised seat, giving an impression of a king on a highchair. He wears bright suits with expert pocket squares. He is always accompanied by his son Jonathan, and often some celebrity arm candy, like Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Elton John, or Jon Bon Jovi (as with many fans of the Patriots, they seemed to all peak in the seventies and eighties). Announcers narrate these money shots by praising, in Kraft’s case, his stewardship of the dynasty and contributions to the league and, of course, to so many charities.
