Deflategate has put an intense strain on the once-great relationship between NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Kraft is doubling down on his assertion that Tom Brady did nothing wrong as Goodell prepares to handle the quarterback’s appeal of a four-game suspension.
But just when it appeared that the two best friends were going to stop wearing their half-heart best friends necklaces, a spy has spied them getting all cuddly.
ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter has more on this fantastic turn of events and no detail will go unreported.
Roger Goodell and Patriots owner Robert Kraft already have met, spoke and even hugged, per an industry source who witnessed it.

Goodell-Kraft attended Sean McManus’ 60th birthday Sat in NYC; they were spotted “on a couch, talking by themselves for quite a long time.” — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 19, 2015
The fact that Goodell and Kraft are on amicable terms could help cool tensions between the two sides and help lead to truce on Deflategate.
