A strong contingent of Patriots fans are skeptical of the reported growing tension within their beloved organization. According to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, the team’s leading trio, owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick, and quarterback Tom Brady, has had several disagreements over matters like the role of Brady’s trainer Alex Guerrero and the Jimmy Garoppolo trade.
Some refuse to believe it. Criticizing Wickersham for his lack of on-the-record sources, the team’s super loyalists have seized the story as an opportunity to once again pounce on ESPN for what they believe to be shoddy reporting.
