Super Farce XLIX, The Cheats: The Patriots Are Probably Done With Their Dynasty

... but not for the reason you might think.

Bob Kraft is PISSED.

In fact, he's so pissed that one report (Bleacher Report sourced through MSN) says the relationship between the two is "pretty much dead".

So you know what that means:  The Patriots run is probably OVER -- unless Robert Kraft finally puts the final straw in on the Roger Goodell Experiment and gets him fired before next season starts.

With the possibility of multiple lawsuits, I can't say that isn't a possibility.

Why?

Hat tip to my anonymous friend again, but Deadspin is reporting one of the main reasons that Tom Brady got the penalty he did was...

... he failed to turn over his PERSONAL cell phone on demand of Roger Goodell.

In short, the league tried to go extra-constitutional on Brady after the Super Bowl because they wanted to know communications made between him and the two ball-deflaters, and he wouldn't do it -- as well he shouldn't under the law.

Why did you need that cellphone?  Especially with the two staffers having TEAM cell phones which you COULD seize...

It's pretty clear, though, that this, as one Deadspin article on the brewing war between Goodell and Kraft puts it:

"It’s more than a little disingenuous for Bob Kraft to act surprised that he’s lost control of the monster he helped create."
