Bob Kraft had to stand up in front of the other 31 owners and apologize for Spygate in 2007. Rumors have it that he was not at all pleased to have to do so. If this scandal keeps spiraling out of control, he might fire Belichick to maintain his own credibility. The sad part is, one of the other 31 owners that were put off by his cheating when they were the victim will hire Belichick before the sun goes down.
Or Kraft might just collect another Lombardi Trophy and the multi-millions that go with it.
The buck stops with Belichick, but I expect he’ll get off with a minor wrist slap if the directive to tamper with the balls can’t be directly traced to him.
Supposed to be a press conference with Belichick at 9:30 AM today and with Brady later in the AM.
I can’t imagine that Brady didn’t know the balls weren’t right, but it’s not up to the QB to handle that, so if he liked the way they felt why say anything.
