Patriots owner gushes about Tim Tebow

[El Supremo]

Patriots' Robert Kraft: 'You can't get enough people like (Tim Tebow)'

....There were fewer reporters and fewer questions, which should probably be expected considering Tim Tebow has a non-guaranteed two-year deal and sits third on the quarterback depth chart behind Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett, two of the players who talked about their newest teammate a day after his arrival.

Also weighing in with an important endorsement was owner Robert Kraft, who might not have the loudest voice in the room but is never afraid to express an opinion.

"He's a winner,'' said Kraft, who was hosting the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards at Gillette Stadium in honor of his late wife. "I don't know anyone who hasn't said anything but positive things about him. I'm happy he is part of our franchise.''

The owner, who said he watched Tebow when he was at the University of Florida, likes the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner's competitiveness and spirituality and thinks he will be a locker room asset....

1. Except he's a Dem (Kraft is).

Personally, I think the Pats already have one too many people like Tebow.

Trouble at Home

Speaking of Romney, the teams he might root for don’t necessarily root back. Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, gave $17,900 to Obama and the DNC. Stephen Pagliuca, an owner of the Boston Celtics, gave over $66,000 to Democrats. Pagliuca’s also a managing partner at Bain Capital, which may ring a bell. Owners of the Red Sox and the Bruins show a little more love for the former governor.

If I remember right, he also gave $25k to Obama in '08 as well as money to the DSCC and DCCC (although I wouldn't be surprised if he gave something to both candidates).
