New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft says he has a simple attitude toward Deflategate, the scandal that accused Tom Brady of deflating footballs in a 2014 playoff game.

"I don’t hold grudges, but I also don’t forget anything," Kraft said at Bloomberg Breakaway on Tuesday, drawing laughs from the audience.

Though the scandal is in the Patriots' rearview mirror, particularly after they won Super Bowl LI, it was costly, nonetheless.

In addition to Brady's four-game suspension to start the 2016 season, the NFL also docked two draft picks from the Patriots and fined them $1 million.
