I agree. He'll help guide Bob but won't do the dirty work.He may have a great corporate lawyer but he really needs a first class litigation lawyer if he is thinking about suing the NFL.

Wrong, BB did not admit that he violated the guideline because it specfied that the film was to be used on the same day which it wasn't. Kraft decided to support Goodell's interpretation rather than BB. We all know how well that turned out.Belichick admitted to Goodell that he taped from an illegal area.
Case closed. There was nothing Kraft could say to Goodell.
He should already have begun assembling his legal team by now.
You can bet on that and Bob would tell them that he simply cannot let this ridiculous injustice on his team go.I wouldn't be surprised if Goodell's protectors, Rooney and Mara are telling Kraft to call off the dogs for the good of the shield.

Nothing would be better than for RK to go to the league meetings next week with Jeffrey Kessler on retainer.
But this damages the brand and ultimately the value of his franchise, ergo he will do something because in the end it is about the "almighty $".Kraft isn't gonna do a damn thing, he's about that almighty $, reputation comes second.
While Kessler can't represent Mr. Kraft, the interests of Brady/NFLPA and the Patriots are similar in this respect of overturning the sanctions and penalties. He could certainly stress to the other owners that Kessler has had past success versus the league and while past performance doesn't guarantee future success" it is worth considering...Kessler is representing the Union. The Union will be taking an adversarial stance to the NFL. Kraft is essentially the NFL in that regard - if there are damages, he's in for 1/32 of them. Kessler can't represent both sides.
Well's (or his company) defamed the Patriots. And apparently you did not read the part about how this punishment is supposedly based on this.Wells didnt punish the patriots, the league did. What good would suing him do?

The Front door is heavily armored. The foundation is sand. DO NOT TRY TO KICK IN THE DOOR, KICK IN A HOLE IN THE FOUNDATION.
Gee, that I have to explain this is not wicked pisser.
The reason you have to explain it so much is because you're wrong. Wells was very carefull in his phrasing of his findings, and he had nothing directly to do with the punishment that was meted out. Suing him is a waste of time, go after the NFL and Goodell and Kensil specifically.
Except he seems drawn to making the wrong decision like a moth is drawn to a flameThe NFL has lost. In any appeal they can only present what is in the report which has already been shredded. Goodell needs to cut his loses now or it will get very ugly for him and the NFL
I hope it's really true. Kraft v. NFL would be amazing.
Yes, football fans like this kind of spectacle. As other owners will advise, the risk to the NFL is great, STARTING with a reexamination of the anti-trust exemption. There is the risk that each of the 32 teams will lose by negative publicity. We need to understand the $1M is insignificant when compared to the value of the patriots, and even compared to the change in the value of the patriots over the last 5 years.
