Tom Brady Needs an Epic 4th Qtr Comeback in Court And To Speak

“As always, I am bound, of course, by standards of fairness and consistency of treatment among players similarly situated, and I have had those standards in mind throughout my consideration of this appeal.”
Roger Goodell

That statement alone should bring a chuckle to anyone’s face that has been following the Deflate-gate mess since January. If this entire scenario wasn’t sad enough, Goodell and the NFL has made this fiasco an even bigger black eye for the league.

Roger Goodell has upheld the Tom Brady suspension for the entire four games and even fired a pre-emptive strike in court, filing in New York Federal Court to have his suspension upheld rather than allow Brady and the NFLPA to file in either Boston or Minneapolis where more union friendly judges can be found.
