"Robert Kraft just got rated a "D" and is 29/32 among NFL owners"
These surveys are a fraud and shouldn't be trusted or tolerated, just like 'ranking' school systems. By the reports very construction, the people on the bottom of the list - regardless of actual quality- are seen as lesser or deficient. And it seems like a lot of the things the teams are being judged on are just bribes to the players and circumventions of the salary cap.
Some teams are terrible because they don't give free day care? To MILLIONAIRES? Bullshit.
Inevitably, once a single team gets conned into given out a perk or benefit, it spreads through the rest of the league because of pressure generated by these crap reports.
It's the same ridiculous vanity rider inflation that movie stars are prone to - i MUST have my own trailer, and it has to be doublewide, and solar powered because I care so much, and fill the septic system with Evian because it smells better. And once a studio gives in to Julia Roberts, every new face on the block askes for even more.
Actors and athletes at the professional level are spoiled children. It needs to stop.
Pats have 2 planes and many other organizations actually rent them out for special occasions. So being dinged for having a bad plane does ring hollow. (Though have to admit they've had them for decades and must they have to be getting old.)
Though if you look at the Dynasty's big 3 (Brady, Belichick, and Kraft) the only one that comes out badly is Kraft. Sad but true.
Bush the first lost in 1992, and not because Clinton was a better candidate, but rather that God Damned egomaniac Perot split the votes across the country worse than any third party since (that other fucking egomaniac) Teddy Roosevelt - with similarly evil results (racist Commie Wilson). Bush (both of them) were evil deep state plants, but in hindsight he'd have spared us the career of Hillary! and her murder spree if he'd taken Perot seriously and coopted his positions.
Perot despised GHWB over the 1st Iraq war (rightly so) and I may be remembering incorrectly but, didn't Bush and Co. freeze Perot out of running a Primary challenge which is when he went scorched Earth and ran 3rd party (shades of RFK here).
And what is it with the Kennedy family and challenging incumbents? Teddy did Jimmy C no favors in 1980.

George HW hated Perot till the day he died because of that. (Do have to correct the year from 1996 to 1992.)

Even the grudges are bigger in Texas :)
