It’s easy to make fun of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the charges that he was physically serviced twice in 17 hours on January 19th and 20th at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida. That the second visit took 15 minutes from the time he walked in the door to […]
The 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve the four-game suspension originally handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in deflating the footballs to be used by the Pats offense during the 2014 AFC Championship. Of course, this was nothing but a procedural […]
by Kent Sterling It’s not easy to be viewed as more arrogant than Bill Belichick, Bob Kraft, and Tom Brady. Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have done that, but it doesn’t make Brady innocent. I’ve read the Richard Berman decision that vacated Brady’s four-game suspension, and not once are the words exonerate, innocent, or […]

Sadly, because of the vacillation the NFL […]
by Kent Sterling Reports on ESPN.com suggest that the NFL and New England Patriots are involved in back channel discussions to resolve issues with Deflategate penalties. If Roger Goodell has any authority at all over the NFL, the solution is easy for the Patriots – take your medicine or pack a lunch. Either the NFL […]
by Kent Sterling Richard Nixon cheated to win the 1972 election, and Tom Brady is fingered in the Wells Report as someone who cheated to gain an advantage on the gridiron. Both were unnecessary. Nixon refused to turn over his audio tapes of meetings where crooked election tactics were planned and debriefed, but screwed up […]
by Kent Sterling Don’t get me wrong. I hate the New England Patriots – a miserable organization that values winning over all else, and that’s why the NFL is constantly uncovering rule violations used by Kraft/Belichick/Brady to gain an unfair advantage. To very loosely paraphrase Dean Vernon Wormer in Animal House, “Believing that victory thru […]

Net worth is a scorecard in life that has nothing whatsoever […]
