What does it mean that Roger Goodell will hear Tom Brady's appeal?

**stillers4me** · 05-15-2015 05:33 AM

A few thoughts on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appointing himself to hear New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's appeal:

Not what Brady wanted. Through the NFL Players Association, Brady had asked for a neutral arbitrator. A more favorable scenario would have been former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who had stepped in during the Saints' Bountygate appeal.............

Roger has a chance to gain a little respect, hold his ground, support the league and most of all protect the shield...OR...he could bitch out and try to make nice with his bedmate and reduce or eliminate the suspension.

Too bad the rest of the teams didn't see what the Steelers saw...

It will get overturned as Bobby Kraftgate** continues his tirade and threats. Goodhell and Kraftgate** will be buttbuddies again after this is overturned.

I'd put money on the latter...

I tend to agree...unfortunately...

This can only mean that Brady's ridiculous punishment will either be reduced or desspear. Goodell works in mysterious ways...

Yep. He's going to bend over for Kraft (again).

BWAhahahahaha

Burn baby burn!

Pats public release of the disputing report broke further NFL rules by discussing disciplinary matters outside of league offices.

Article VIII of the NFL constitution gives the commissioner, and by proxy the league office, "full, complete and final jurisdiction" to resolve disputes. It also gives the commissioner "complete authority" to issue discipline for rules violations. Finally, Article IX expressly prohibits public criticism of the league by member clubs, stating: "All complaints or criticism ... shall be made to the Commissioner only and shall not be publicized directly or indirectly."

By systematically challenging and attempting to neutralize the Wells report, Robert Kraft and the Patriots have challenged the essential power structure of the NFL.

I know it's SO wrong, but I couldn't help but laugh at it.

And if Goodell actually stands his ground, I will give him due props for it.

**86WARD** · 05-15-2015 08:29 PM

Feel the same...will respect Goofdell a little more if he stands his ground. If he gives in to his ass buddy Kraft, I'll lose any respect (which is minimal) that I had for Goofdell...

Not much hope for Tom Brady in appeal

Q: Can Brady win a reduction in the suspension or eliminate the suspension entirely?

A: No. The evidence gathered by attorney Ted Wells for the NFL's investigation is clear and convincing. The text messages between Brady and two Patriots staffers, the disappearance of the Patriots' footballs in the moments before kickoff, the history of similar incidents involving Brady and Brady's stonewalling of the NFL investigators lead to only one conclusion: Brady was clearly involved in an effort to underinflate the footballs to give him a competitive edge.

Yep....and a little reminder to the other 31 NFL teams: the Pittsburgh Steelers were the only team to vote NO for the new CBA agreement because it gave Goodell too much power.

Take your lumps, ya cheaters.

**ALLD** · 05-16-2015 07:47 PM

This time Brady is going to be the bottom.

**Edman** · 05-16-2015 07:58 PM

Does anyone here know that Roger Goodell didn't actually hand down the suspension to Tom Brady?

Roger delegated that responsibility to Troy Vincent. All of the other times Roger was Judge, Jury, and Executioner. NOT this time. Strange.

Don't be so quick to praise this weasel.
