Robert Kraft: Let down by Pats documentary; vows survey fixes - ESPN

ORLANDO, Fla. — Robert Kraft said he is «disappointed» at the portrayal of the New England Patriots' championship teams in a recent documentary series and announced plans to upgrade the organization's facilities in the wake of poor reviews in this year's NFL Players Association survey.

Kraft addressed reporters for 15 minutes Tuesday at the annual league meeting, and among the topics he was asked about was «The Dynasty,» a10-part documentary series directed by Matthew Hamachek on Apple TV+. The Patriots turned over their full internal video archives for the documentary, which was released in February, with Kraft and prominent members of the organization agreeing to lengthy, sometimes revealing interviews.

«I felt bad that there was so much emphasis on the more controversial and let's say 'challenging' situations over the last 20 years,» Kraft said.

«I wish they had focused more on our Super Bowl wins, our 21-game win streak. I felt bad there were players who gave hours and hours of interviews and they felt only the negativity [was used].… So a little disappointed that there wasn't more of a real positive approach — especially for Patriot fans who have lived the experience with us.»

Former Patriots players Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison, who were interviewed for the documentary, have been among the critics. McCourty, who said «I felt like I got kind of duped,» believed the documentary was slanted against former coach Bill Belichick.

On Tuesday, Kraft was asked to comment on those who felt Belichick was unfairly maligned in the documentary.

«Look, I'll state this clearly: I feel so privileged that we had Bill here. We hope when he's finished [coaching], that we're going to have a chance to honor him the way we will do
