Foxborough, MA - Patriots owner Robert Kraft, today, expressed his well wishes and appreciation to coach Jay Hoops for his contribution to the New England Patriots as the coach was let go from his position, yesterday.

"Jay really did a great job with our secondary... I mean our linebackers... I mean.... what the hell DID he do?"

"We'd like to thank Jay Hoops for his contributions to the Patriots and his consistent efforts in bringing us two Super Bowl championships," stated the press release from Kraft. "Jay was always a consummate professional, a wonderful player, and a true Patriot legend. I hope he finds success elsewhere in the NFL."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as someone informs Kraft that he owns a soccer team as well.
