This is hysterical, edge of your seat stuff
I do think what Robert Kraft said is completely irresponsible and out of touch with what's going on out there.
The truth is Robert, your franchise was once caught and convicted of breaking NFL rules. Following that, people are going to be suspicious, wouldn't you? If you want to be upset with the NFL, and notice he's speaking to Wells the attorney and not Goodell, you know, the man in charge, then be upset with them for how they handled that first transgression (burning the tapes, etc). That has left A LOT of concern out there that what the Patriots were doing was worse than we all heard about. Be mad at how they handled that issue.
I suspect we'll never know how 11/12 footballs became under-inflated. Could be as simple as BB is more diabolical than we realize and he has the balls inflated in 75 degree, pressurized rooms so when they're brought outside they shrink...but I don't think Kraft's defiant speech will do anything to help his buddy Goodell. Thought that was pretty tone-deaf.
As an aside, the NFL has a wide distribution about how long their investigations take, and they don't always conform to reality...9 months for Ray Rice (fine), 4 days for Spygate, and now up to 3-4 weeks for DeflateGate? It's almost as though the independent investigator is there to get this thing through the Super Bowl and reassess later. What possibly could be taking so long? Why not be talking to Brady?
I don't believe (once again) they are doing themselves any favors (both Kraft & Goodell) relative to a suspicious public, and that's not good for them in my opinion
