San Francisco (AFP) - New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced Tuesday the club is willing to accept the penalties handed down by the National Football League in the "Deflategate" scandal.

Speaking at the NFL owners meetings, Kraft said it is time to move on because the fiasco had already taken up too much of everyone's time.

"I don't want to continue the rhetoric that's gone on the past four months," said Kraft.
