The following rant by a long-time journalist in the nation's biggest sport channel is one of the reasons Mr. Kraft. as the owner of a fantastic and popular team (that was smeared by allegations and zero facts a few years back), should, IMO, give a strong statement.
"“The Patriots franchise is on probation as far as I’m concerned, from Spygate,” Wilbon said on Monday’s show, according to Boston.com. “If you’re a cheater, and you’re a multiple time cheater, I would say to the New England Patriots, ‘You know what we’re going to do? If this is found to be true, like today, tomorrow, the next 72 hours, the next three days, you know what? You’re forfeiting your spot in the Super Bowl. We’re vacating it. Get out! You’re a cheater, you’re a lying franchise.'”

The last line above summarizes both the rabid howls of the haters and the suspicion of many non-Pats fans.
Certainly understand if Mr. Kraft wants to wait a day or two to see if the league gets its act together, but beyond that is sheer folly to allow such an open rape of our name and reputation.
