In the wake of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell upholding his four-game suspension of New England’s Tom Brady, the Patriots opened training camp Wednesday with a Bill Belichick news conference. Predictably, the comments from the coach were comically unrevealing and spoken in that familiar monotone.
But the highlight of the news conference was Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who is clearly incensed with Goodell and the league, and twice apologized to New England fans for saying in May that he would not pursue legal action in the matter. He thought that would pave the way for a reduction in Brady’s suspension.
