Without Adam Vinateri, the New England Patriots wouldn't have won three Super Bowl titles. Without Tom Brady(notes), Adam Vinatieri(notes) wouldn't have been in a position to give the Patriots those titles. Without Bill Belichick, Tom Brady's quarterbacking wouldn't have set-up Adam Vinateri to hit the kicks to win those titles. And without Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick wouldn't have been in New England to help both Brady and Vinateiri win those titles. And without Michael Jackson (yes, that Michael Jackson), Bob Kraft wouldn't have bought the New England Patriots and the dynasty that was may never have been.

>>Basically, Sullivan got in over his head funding Michael Jackson’s Victory tour
Thus leading to some other victories
I think I’m going to puke!!!!!!
I think FR needs a moratorium on Jackson stories.
How about a mandatory minimum of Michael Jackson/hour?
Wasn’t the “Victory Tour,” The Jackson 5, not Michael Jackson?
According to Wikipedia, "the tour reportedly grossed $75 million and set a new record for the then-largest grossing tour."
Was weird accounting involved or is this story inaccurate?
Hell, we can't even get a moratorium on Helen Thomas pics.
Just don't click on the MJ threads.
LOL
Ping
They did not do it to save the Patriots in New England.
Au contraire.
Great Thread RR. Thanks.
Just thought this one was funny. How the Jacksons saved a football team! Just for laughs here.
The Sullivan's who managed the tour were burned by the local town selectectmen in Foxboro who refused to allow the final scheduled concert to be held in Foxboro. Effectively bankrupting the then Patriot owners.
The Town of Foxboro determined that the sort of clientele at a Michael Jackson Concert would be disruptive and so no concert permit was allowed.
This is one of those threads that must be handled with some sense of tounge firmly implanted in cheek.
We need to have a little fun considering what Stupid and His Morons are doing to systematically destroy our nation and end up turning the world against us....
