Kraft Believes Brady Is Innocent

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is defending quarterback Tom Brady's integrity.

He tells Peter King's "Monday Morning Quarterback" that he believes Brady is innocent in the football deflation scandal from the AFC Championship Game against the Colts.

Kraft says he had the talk with Brady that if he did it they should just deal with it, take their hit and move on, but he has no reason not to believe Brady is telling the truth.

Kraft says he's known Brady for 16 years and that's he's always been honest and trusts him.  Kraft says Brady has never lied to him and he has found no hard or conclusive evidence to the contrary.

Brady is appealing a four-game suspension for his role in the "Deflategate" scandal.
