Mr. Kraft folds, won’t fight Deflategate punishment.

Robert Kraft, speaking at the NFL owners meetings in San Francisco today, announced that the Patriots will not appeal the $1 million fine and loos of draft picks punishments handed down by Roger Goodell and the NFL

“Although I might disagree with what is decided, I do have respect for the commissioner and believe that he’s doing what he perceives to be in the best interest of the full 32 (NFL teams),” Kraft said. “So in that spirit I don’t want to continue the rhetoric that has gone on for the last four months. I’m going to accept, reluctantly, what he has given to us and not continue this dialogue and rhetoric. And we won’t appeal.”

Tom Brady is still appealing his four game suspension.

Wait, WHAT???? What happened fighting the good fight? What’s up with this “best interest” of the league malarky?

Just absolute crazy town. So disappointing!!!
