The funny thing is the remaining team punishment is still ridiculously excessive- the picks and the $ fine. Kraft said he made a mistake by withdrawing the fight, but my guess is there was an under the table agreement that the NFL would go easy on Brady if the Patriots didn't fight the team suspension- which the NFL clearly didn't honor. Or maybe Kraft just assumed the NFL would go easy on Brady if they didn't fight the team punishments. Either way, hopefully over with from an official standpoint. Over 7 months. Insane.
