Patriots removing massive Tom Brady banner at Gillette Stadium
Tom Brady officially began his four-game suspension Sunday night, when the New England Patriots took the field against the Arizona Cardinals. Now that reality has set in, the Patriots are going to get rid of one of their biggest reminders of their franchise quarterback.
New England president Jonathan Kraft said during a pregame interview on 98.5 The Sports Hub that the massive Brady banner at Gillette Stadium would be taken down Sunday night.
"From end of preseason to today, we wanted to symbolize the fact he is on everybody's mind and we love him," Kraft said.

Now that Brady has been reduced to an onlooker thanks to his Deflategate penalty, how will the Patriots hold up without their franchise QB?
