What's this BS about there being two polar ends of the spectrum--Patriots fans and fans around the league? You mean intelligent people who understand ideal gas law and who care enough about the issue that they read the Wells Report, the Exponent Report and the Patriots Context Report, i.e., Patriots fans, versus ignorant 15 year-old fans of other teams who troll the comments sections of ESPN, profootballtalk.com and other websites, who call the Patriots the Cheatriots, who know nothing about the issue, who are only too ready to believe anything that is said bad about the Patriots, and who create a climate of public opinion? Kraft could have said that he was giving up the fight without giving us that crap.
A quote from Winston Churchill about Neville Chamberlain comes to mind: "He had to choose between war and dishonor. He chose dishonor. He'll have war." Only in this case Kraft's war will be with his fan-base.
