Classy move by Kraft, inducting Billy Sullivan into the Patriots Hall of Fame

No matter how inept or bungling the Patriots first owner may have appeared to be, he was OUR inept bungler who fiercely loved his team and will forever be credited for taking on the mantle of ownership when four teams before him attempted – and failed – to do the same. Thanks Billy.
