Well it appears that the owner of the Patriots has decided it's not worthy of defending or appealing his punishment for his organizations latest cheating scandal. This wasn't his first rodeo when it comes to a cheating allegation. I believe he's smart enough to recognize that dragging his brand through the media as a 'cheater' is not a wise move. But to be honest, I think it's too late, I think his brand is severely damaged goods and will always be known as 'cheaters'.
