Owner Robert Kraft’s initial statement in the wake of the Ted Wells report was along the lines of “I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I won’t blow your house down.” Last night’s reaction from Kraft in the aftermath of the various penalties imposed on the team and quarterback Tom Brady suggests that Kraft is now thinking about blowing someone’s house up.
It’s a given that Brady will appeal his four-game suspension. Per the league office, the Patriots separately can appeal the $1 million fine and the removal of two draft picks — a first-rounder in 2016 and a fourth-rounder in 2017.
