krafts* behavior is not unusual at all for someone caught doing something wrong. His biggest mistake is keeping his team in the limelight. What an idiot.

 

Funny how not a single other owner has come too the pats* side and at least offered some kind of support. there is a reason for that. Right now that team is toxic. other than bandwagon chowda heads blind support. he is really painting himself in a corner. Good for him.

Even if they didn't do it. The penalty would have been lighter if there was cooperation and no public comments brady probably would be playing.

Exactly. On Sirius NFL Radio this morning, Amani Toomer was discussing how there shouldn't have even been a report, and the report just made everything about the situation laughably worse. I don't disagree on either of those points, but the Pats* made the investigation happen by holding 3+ separate press conferences to deny all knowledge and demand apologies.

Well said.

This is interesting - gotta think there is some internal strife about the fact that Kraft wanted to admit it up front, which most people think would have been advisable given what has happened since. But Brady wouldn't, straight up lying to Kraft. And Belichik in the middle.

 

Asked if Brady had told him he was innocent, Kraft said: Yes. Because we had the discussion if you did it, lets just deal with it and take our hit and move on. I've known Tommy 16 years, almost half his life. He's a man, and he's always been honest with me, and I trust him

I think full cooperation probably would have revealed more and then of course the penalty would have gotten much worse. It seems like it was smart to obstruct the investigation.

There was no smoking gun evidence. Of course, that's what happens when the most critical subject of the investigation refuses to turn over that evidence.

 

Also, gotta love how "protective" he was of McNally-- didn't want to have the poor guy go through the ordeal of a second interview, but has now fired him.

You shouldn't be allowed to appeal if you didn't cooperate with the investigation. Plus if Kraft believes Brady, why didn't he tell him to cooperate. It seems pretty hard to believe that two dudes would just deflate the footballs on their own, for no reason, and then text about Brady being an A-hole and calling himself the deflator.

i think that is why Goodell is insisting on hearing the appeal.they had their chance already. Unless they plan to cooperate this time and turn over the requested docs from Brady's phone, what's the point?

 

@ProFootballTalk: Some of the most interesting things Robert Kraft had to say were the things he didn't say http://t.co/hj7ZwAWKI2

@theMMQB: MMQB is up. @SI_PeterKing gets an angry Robert Kraft's first public comments on Deflategate: http://t.co/Xx2dsGqfEfhttp://t.co/eocc06Aw2u

 

Gotta love the part where he says the NFL has "no idea how much footballs go down in cold weather or expand in warm weather."

 

Boyle's law has been around since 1662, which is 279 years longer than Robert Kraft.

 

There isn't a QB in the league, past or present, who believes that anyone would mess with the footballs without Brady's knowledge and approval. There also isn't a football fan in the country who believes that the NFL wanted to sanction the defending Superbowl Champion and its star QB on slim evidence just for shucks and grins. It tarnishes the reputation of the league, overall!
