Only one organization thought that Goodell would be allowed to abuse the power he was given.

"The Steelers were the only one of the 32 teams to vote against the CBA. They felt the new deal continued to give NFL commissioner Roger Goodell too much leeway as judge, jury and executioner over the player conduct policy."

"The Steelers had experienced that unchecked power when Goodell unilaterally suspended Ben Roethlisberger for four games to start the 2010 season, even though he was never charged with a crime. Also fresh in their minds were the $150,000 in fines the NFL issued to linebacker James Harrison in 2010, although those were for actions on the field, not off."

Kraft was "gamed" by Goodell and the league. He was very powerful at the time and never considered what his "friend" Goodell would do with the power granted. He also did not recognize the "friends" he had in his fellow owners were not friends at all.

With such an intellegent FO, one would think they could teach their HC where the sideline starts and ends?

"Interestingly enough, the Patriots’ odds to win Super Bowl 51 have held firm despite Brady’s decision to end his fight with the league."
The Pats are toast.
