VIPs turn out for Pats’ win over Jets
Boston Globe, MA
January 8, 2007
It's playoff time and with a New York team in town you can expect to see Donald Trump. But when The Donald is at The Razor he's all about The Robert. As in the New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft. Trump and his wife, Melania, were on hand to witness the Pats trounce the Jets 37-16 yesterday to advance in the NFL playoffs. Before the game, Kraft was squiring around The Donald, whose TV show "The Apprentice" started its sixth season last night. And Trump, appearing on the WBCN pre game broadcast, was effusive about the Krafts and the Pats as an organization. It was a day of rock at Gillette Stadium, with Aerosmith's Joe Perry on the sidelines (his appearance on the scoreboard brought sustained cheers) and outside the Pats locker room with Pats honcho Jonathan Kraft after the game. Godsmack's Sully Erna was hanging out in auto magnate -- and sometimes rocker -- Ernie Boch Jr.'s box. Making a return to Foxborough for playoff action was Kay Hanley, formerly of Letters to Cleo, who sang the national anthem. The Pats QB's parents, Tom Brady Sr. and his wife, Galynn, were up in the Bank of America box taking in all of the action with Bank of America's chairman emeritus Chad Gifford and bank senior veep Jim Mahoney. And a very tan CBS CEO Les Moonves was spotted near the end of the game in the owner's box seated next to Bob Kraft.
