huh?

Robert Kraft should do a "secret" meeting with GOD-ell. Tell GOD-ell that he took the loss of picks & fine without a fight. Now that NFL has won the deflategate, you, GOD-ell should either suspend the 4game punishment, or reduce the suspension to 1 or 2 games. You owe me this.

I don't want any other owner.....but
Until he stands up to the badge:
I don't want to see him on the field (yes i know, his field).
I don't want to see him in the locker room.
I don't want to see him on any of the NFL shows.
I don't want to see him in his high chair during games (i'll just look the other way when the camera pans his suite)
I don't want to see him out in Denver the night before the AFCCG soaking in the limelight.
I don't want to hear any quotes from him
I'm done with this guy

stop watching.

If he has the votes, he would ask for the owners to pressure for some action. However, this is very, very unlikely.

There is no reason to believe Kraft would vote against goodell. He is on record saying "we see this one differently but he viscount a great job"

He'll no doubt make a statement or something, but the window for effective action opened and closed a long time ago. He drove a stake in the heart of Bradys cause when he refused to put the full weight of the Franchise behind the most important player in its history.

And what would that have been? A meaningless and futile appeal to the guy handing down the punishment?

First of all, Kraft has already admitted that he made a mistake, so he disagrees with you.

He could have kept his options open regarding litigation. Instead, he cleared the way for Goodell to do whatever he wanted without having to look over his shoulder at the most respected owner in the League and what he might do to protect one of the greatest players of all time. He now sees and has acknowledged that that was an error.

If we've learned anything from Deflategate, positioning is as important as, if not more important than, what might actually occur.

See, that's where you're wrong. Bob isn't one of the most respected owners of the league. He might be the guy who's really good at negotiation but he's still seen as New Money by the Rooneys, Maras and Irsays of the League. If he and his team were that well respected Deflategate would have never happened in the first place.

Disagree. He's still on every important committee and he still has Goodell's ear.
The owners have resented the Patriots success, but the guy whom they despise is Belichick and then probably Ernie Adams. That's why Deflategate was allowed to "happen."

IMO, Kraft is the equivalent of the water boy in the league offices. They let him do all the dirty work they don't want to do, but he's not really a member of the club nor do they have any respect for him. When he needs something from them, they tell him to go get his shine box. And he does.

The NFL called a marquee player a cheat and compared his actions to that of the Black Sox rigging of the World Series. If Kraft didn't have the balls to do anything then he sure as hell isn't going to do anything now. He professes love and admiration for Brady but that rings hollow with his unwavering devotion to the very same NFL owners telling Goodell to slam the Pats / Brady.

Being a coward is enough Bend Over Bob so please don't piss on Brady's reputation and assure him it's only rain. Oh and also please don't insult the fan base's intelligence- we're loyal not stupid.

LMAO- BendOver Bob has the Commissioner's ear? You sure you don't mean REAR? Bendover Bob gets to sit in a fancy committee chair with a title? Yeah that did the Pats a lot of good. Kraft has a rep as being marshmellow soft- you have to wonder if Goodell could get away with this BS vs. other owners.
