Robert Kraft says 'marriage' with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick 'has been pretty special'

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Perhaps it was the perfect analogy for the relationship between Patriots owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.

Kraft, speaking at the Xcel Energy Center for the Super Bowl LII Opening Night festivities, was not directly asked about the ESPN article in early January that detailed a level of discord that could possibly break up the trio most responsible for the franchise's ultra-success over the past 17 years. However, he did address the dynamic from a business and personal perspective.

Kraft first reflected on the turnaround the franchise has made under his watch, and that he never quite imagined its extent.
