I saw that Goodell upheld Brady's deflate-gate suspension and maximum punishment for the Patriots; that didn't really surprise me.
But Kraft's apparent total surprise that the punishments were upheld surprises me a little bit. He seems very pissed off at Goodell and says he now regrets supporting the suspension originally because he thinks the league is destroying Brady's reputation/legacy. He says he originally reluctantly agreed to the suspension because he thought it was good for the league and that Brady and the Pats would be exonerated. Now he knows he was wrong to put his faith in the league, he says.
Belicheck looks to be pretty much keeping his mouth shut and basically only saying what's done is done, let's move on.
Anyway, I saw that Brady confirmed today that he will be taking the case to federal court with the help of the NFL Player's Union. He said he did not want his 'unfair discipline' to set a precedent for other players in the league.
