Arthur Blank and Robert Kraft had some fun on the same stage together while the New England Patriots prepare to take on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.
Appearing on NFL Network, the two owners played a game of “Fill in the Blank.” Then they were asked who the most famous person was in their cell phone contacts list. That’s when Blank zinged Kraft with a funny jab.
Blank said his most famous contact was Kenny Chesney, then before Kraft could answer the question, Blank interjected, “Donald Trump over here,” pointing to Kraft.
Kraft has long made it clear that he’s good friends with President Donald Trump, and it’s hard to argue that he’s one of the most famous people on the planet right now. The Patriots owner brushed the joke off, though, chuckled and said his famous contact was actually Elton John, which is certainly another good choice.
During the same segment, Blank said his best move was having the Falcons draft Matt Ryan No. 3 overall back in 2008, while Kraft’s best move was signing Bill Belichick as his head coach.
It was an entertaining segment, and it was clear Blank’s joke was nothing more than light-hearted fun.
