I don't agree with how this hypothetical is raised in that I don't really care about Kraft's moral standards one way or the other. So from my vantage point, if BB did indeed engineer all this, he's a fool; not because of league integrity or morals or any dumb stuff like that, but because he should know better than to flout the league yet again. Just too risky.
That said, no, I don't think Kraft has to fire him. But I agree with Curran in this sense: if **** does completely hit the fan, Kraft will care more about his image as league deity than standing with his coach through another firestorm. He will side with the NFL over Belichick and either suspend or outright can him. It will make his divorce with Parcells look amicable.
EDIT: SO basically, I answered your poll from how I imagine Kraft is thinking. Which is, I would ****can him to preserve my ego.
Yep, people are going to call this hyperbole, but I think there is a slim shot at the moment that this is gonna be his last game as HC of the NEP.yup, exactly. This isn't really so much, "should Kraft fire him," as "will Kraft fire him." It'll be interesting to see how that goes, but I feel like a suspension is such a weak, halfway move. I tend to think Kraft is either going to deal with the hit to his reputation and entirely stand by Belichick, or outright fire him. Ha it definitely raises the stakes on this SB for Bill...
On another patriots foot ball forum they have what is called an Azzclown Asylum for posters who create threads such as this, they're banished and have to work they're way out. The OP would be a perfect candidate.
Bovada has set odds on whether Belichick will be suspended for his part in the deflated ball scandal that has overtaken any talk of the upcoming Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks.
The officials are going to be the fall guys and a new rule will be enacted in which all balls are weighed and pressure is taken before the game, at halftime and after the game.
Or Walt Anderson is going to say that the Patriots must have screwed with the balls. And then? Like it or not, the clock may start ticking on arguably the greatest coach in NFL history.
If the Patriots are found guilty, do you think there is a chance that Robert Kraft fires Bill Belichick?

1.) There was no reason for this thread to be moved. It was, and is, a legit thread.
2.) The personal attacks against me here demonstrate why I have people on ignore. Several of the posts are ban worthy.
3.) The options I gave regarding suspension/firing have been put out there by others. I didn't troll this, at all. As a matter of fact, I spent most of last night in the deflate=gate thread, trying to keep people from losing it, on any side of the issue.
Many of you should be ashamed of yourselves, and that includes whomever moved the thread.
I'm not ashamed of moving it. It's where it belongs. It is still open and people can post on it if they want. You can contact Ian if you disagree.
A problem for who? Didn't receive one or even a deflated complaint any of the members of this forum.You were wrong to move this thread. That you don't get that is part of what makes it a problem.

Now should the NFL come with a finding that BB ordered the balls to be deflated and fine him and take away a high draft pick, this thread will be moved back - not until then. That's my final word.
