"Robert Kraft -- the owner of the New England Patriots, who has been embroiled in a controversy with the NFL over the Deflategate scandal -- has stepped down from Viacom's board of directors.
Kraft resigned from the media company's board on Wednesday.
Kraft and the Patriot's star quarterback, Tom Brady, have been at odds with the National Football League and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the investigation and fallout from the scandal.
“I was wrong to put my faith in the league,” Kraft said last week. He told New England sports fans that he should have challenged the penalties that had been slapped on the team earlier this year.
Although Viacom does not have a relationship with the NFL, its corporate sibling, CBS Corp., holds valuable NFL rights. Those rights include broadcasting regular season Sunday AFC games and sharing the "Thursday Night Football" package with the NFL Network."

Kraft keeps on taking it on the chin for his boy Brady and the team's cheating ways.
On another note, with all his money can't the man get his damn "toofuses" fixed? He looks like he can't eat an ear of corn without spraying a radius of 5 feet (154cm) in every direction drenching all those around him.
