    Jonathan Kraft, the Patriots' team president, spent much of his time in his usual pregame appearance on The Sports Hub, radio 98.5-FM, ripping this week's Rolling Stone article about the knowledge the team had of Aaron Hernandez' problems.

    "The stuff I know about the article is just completely factually inaccurate,'' Kraft said. "There were two, three or four things that are completely factually inaccurate.''

    Among other items, Kraft said Hernandez never told coach Bill Belichick he felt his life was in danger.

    "Absolutely not,'' Kraft said. Unlike what was reported in the article, Belichick never threatened to cut Hernandez, according to Kraft.

    The team president said Hernandez does not deserve his offseason workout bonus, for which the NFL Players Association is using the team. Hernandez attended 25 of the 33 OTAs, or 75.8 percent, Kraft said. His contract required him to attend 90 percent of the sessions to earn his bonus.
