In a New York Times Magazine article detailing the 2017 NFL season, it was revealed that Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, whose team memorably blew a 28-3 lead to Robert Kraft's New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI, confronted Patriots owner Robert Kraft in August over his perceived insult-by-karat.

"I said to Robert, 'You didn't have to do the 28-3 in the ring,'" Blank divulged to The Times' Mark Leibovich. "It kind of pissed me off."

Hey, here’s a thought. How ‘bout not blowing a four-possession lead so Robert Kraft can’t rub your face in it next time?

Arthur Blank is a good owner. He cares about his fans. How often do we see bitching on here about owners and ADs basically squeezing every cent they can out of people to the point of it not being worth it anymore? Aren't his prices in his stadium set intentionally low on his orders to avoid this exact thing? He seems like a good guy.

Let's not give him too much credit here, state taxpayers are paying 700 mil for his stadium.

Craft and the Patriots have so many rings they are struggling to come up with creative ideas for the newest ones.

If they win on Sunday they may just do away with rings all together out of boredom

He's the owner of the team, Mr pedantic.

At least he can go down to any of his home Depot locations to get some wood and build a safe space.

Best part about it is if he decided to sell his stadium tommorow, he would get 100 percent of the profit

Not that he's the only owner that does that, pretty much all do, I just find it funny how crazy that it
