Brady's suspension would be overturned by a judge regardless of what Kraft did. If Goodell does it, then the corrupt NFL is simply never exposed in court and lives to rape us again. Kraft merely assured that the cheater label is permanently branded onto Brady's legacy.
P.S. This deal has Jonathan Kraft's fingerprints all over it. He strikes me as the Kraft son who's always playing chess, while others perhaps plays checkers.
I totally disagree. Jonathan is far more likely to go nuclear on the league than Kraft is. Jonathan is far more of an attack dog than Robert is. I think if it was up to Jonathan, this would go to court. Robert is a league first guy.
See, I see it as just the opposite. Jonathan is the 'cooler' head, esp. as compared to the other son (heavier set) you see on TV sitting next to his dad, opposite Jonathan. That son is more the hot head.
I would happily take my chances in court and not fork over my #1 and #4.There is no guarantee that Brady will win in court. When it comes to taking it to court, there is never any guarantees.

Belief in league circles is NFLPA has found the perfect player & case to go big-game hunting and change commissioner discipline forever.

Understood. In my estimation, the chances of Brady's suspension being upheld in court are slim to none, which is no less than the chances Kraft would have had of reducing the team's suspension had chosen to fight it. Just a bad deal for the team and for the fans. A sad day in Patriots history.I am not saying I would do what Kraft did. I am just saying there is no guarantees in court. Even if the NFLPA think they have a great chance in court, I have seem a lot of slam dunk cases lose in court for any number of reasons (the judge had a bias, their interpretation of the law isn't how the judge seen it, etc.).
I personally would have fought. But it isn't my decision. I am not happy about what Kraft did even if he got Brady's suspension wiped away.
Can't agree with this as the capitulation doesn't reflect one with any suaveness at all. I would expect better from JonathonP.S. This deal has Jonathan Kraft's fingerprints all over it. He strikes me as the Kraft son who's always playing chess, while others perhaps plays checkers.
There's an O Henry story in that scenario.That was my fear - Kraft capitulates in exchange for Tom's suspension being dropped, and the fight is over, since Tom can't go to court to fight a 0 game suspension.

Kraft hasn't defended Brady, so effen what? Brady hasn't defended Brady. Did you cheat Tom? I Don"t think so. F him. If he is innocent, he should be screaming it from the tree tops. Instead he goes into hiding and hides behind a high priced mouthpiece. If that appeal is unsuccessful, that's it, he will not take it to court because he is Guilty. I think it's a minor infraction but as usual, the coverup is way worse than the crime. Brady should apologize to Kraft for tainting the Patriots name especially after SpyGate.He didn't say anything to defend Brady all he basically said was "I am a ***** to Goodell and the other 30 owners and I dont want to rock the boat" Kraft just bent over and spread for his wallet what a whore.
Disagree, he said he never tampered with or told anyone to tamper with the balls. I think he's being quiet because the NFLPA wants him to, they want to fight this with TB.Kraft hasn't defended Brady, so effen what? Brady hasn't defended Brady. Did you cheat Tom? I Don"t think so.

Kraft and Belichick basically dragged TB into this with their denial and Mona vita Lisa bull. If Kraft just took a punishment in January they probably never even look at Tom. And now Kraft is leaving Tom and the fan base out to dry.Kraft hasn't defended Brady, so effen what? Brady hasn't defended Brady. Did you cheat Tom? I Don"t think so. F him.
