"Commissioner Goodell will hear the appeal of Tom Brady's suspension in accordance with the process agreed upon with the NFL Players Association in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement," spokesman Greg Aiello told USA TODAY Sports in an email." www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2015/05/15/tom-brady-suspension-appeal-roger-goodell-deflategate-new-england-patriots/27347147/This is an in your face move by Goodell. I have to give Goodell kudos for owning this situation. How many times were the Flats going tell the league to screw themselves before this would have happened. Maybe Sparkle will file a federal suit and we can get more info on the games played by the the team including beli and Krapt.

It's like Kevin Costner in JFK: "The head goes back, and to the left. Back and to the left"

I see this going the other way. I feel like Krafty got in Goodell's ear, and now Goodell will fall on the sword and say the league made a mistake and will reduce the suspension and penalties greatly.

Brady is now the town drunk getting his ass kicked outside the local bar...too stupid to stay down. Goodell needing to deliver the knockout blow just to shut him the fuck up.
Kraft needs to get Uncle Rico on the phone.

This. I can see this as being a way for Goodell to play both sides of the ball. He'll swoop in, say Troy Vincent leveled the penalties then he'll reduce them. Appeases Kraft and Brady by reducing the penalties, appeases the other owners by keeping some of the penalties and appeases the players in general by showing that he could be "fair and neutral". When its all said and done: Brady 2 games Pats fined $250,000K Pats get all their draft picks back.

If it's just Brady appealing, then the fines and picks aren't on the table. Those weren't levied at Brady. Not sure if the Patriots have filed a separate appeal.

Goodell definitely has The Appeaser potential in him. I'm not sure why people think this is bad for the Patriots. I see them taking away on the 1st round pick, leaving the 4th as a token gesture
