NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots’ Robert Kraft hug it out
By Mike Dyce
NFL commissioner and Roger Goodell have been feuding over the Deflategate punishment, but they hugged it out like bros.
The NFL dropped the hammer on the New England Patriots in the wake of the Deflategate scandal. Quarterback Tom Brady was suspended for four games, the organization lost draft picks and were fined a million dollars.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has come out publicly to express his displeasure, even releasing their own ludicrously long response to the Wells Report.
It looks like Richard Sherman was wrong about everything after all, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell put his friendship with Kraft aside to punish the Patriots.
And if you’re concerned about the relationship of these too extremely wealthy BFFs, don’t worry it is all good. The two have gotten together and hugged it out.
Roger Goodell and Patriots owner Robert Kraft already have met, spoke and even hugged, per an industry source who witnessed it.

They even were seen in public talking and sitting on a coach together. What were they talking about, presumably Nike shoes and Deflategate.
Goodell-Kraft attended Sean McManus’ 60th birthday Sat in NYC; they were spotted “on a couch, talking by themselves for quite a long time."

The fact that Goodell and Kraft are on amicable terms could help cool tensions between the two sides and help lead to truce on Deflategate.

Am I the only one picturing it going down somewhat like this?
