Pats' Kraft: NFL's Decision is 'Unfathomable to Me'
The New England Patriots appear to be preparing for war in wake of the NFL deciding to uphold Tom Brady's four-game suspension over Deflategate.
Pats owner Robert Kraft followed up Brady's "I did nothing wrong" Facebook message with some bold words on Wednesday at Bill Belichick's press conference.
"I was wrong to put my faith in the league," Kraft said. "Given the facts, evidence and laws of science that underscored this entire situation, it is completely incomprehensible to me that the league continues to take steps to disparage one of its all-time great players for whom I have the upmost respect. This is personally very disappointing to me.
"I was willing to accept the harshest penalty in the history of the NFL for an alleged ball violation because I hoped it would help exonerate Tom... The decision handed down by the league yesterday is unfathomable to me. It is routine for discipline in the NFL to be reduced upon appeal. In the vast majority of these cases there is tangible and hard evidence of the infraction for which discipline is being imposed. And still the initial penalty gets reduced..."
The expectation is the case will head to federal court.
Deflategate appears far from over, though many question whether Brady has a legitimate case.
