Brady took the NFL to court. Mike Brown has no way to do that. And what happened to Kraft and the Patriots shows that you don't get special treatment by standing up to the league.
Kraft showed up to his appeals and such. Didn't just send BB. Kraft was very active in fighting the league. Publicly and you have to think privately. To say he didn't do more for Brady then Brown has done for Burfict or Jones just isn't true. To say that he didn't fight against public perception of his team and Organization just isn't true. To say that he didn't get what he wanted when Brady played a full 16 games and made the AFC Championship game again just isn't true. Kraft came out firing when his Organization was under attack. And more power to him. That's a winner for you. And why players play for him (and take hometown discounts that we sure wish some of our players would take).
