SAN FRANCISCO — Robert Kraft’s decision to drop the fight and not appeal the Deflategate punishments imposed on his team left some former Patriots a bit mystified.
Troy Brown didn’t watch Kraft’s press conference yesterday, but when he heard what went down, the Patriots Hall of Fame receiver was surprised by the outcome.
“I didn’t anticipate him giving up the fight on that one. I’m not sure if he had enough owners supporting him. I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to him, and I didn’t hear what he had to say,” Brown said when reached by phone.
