A casual remark from Commissioner Roger Goodell to CNBC two weeks ago created widespread anticipation last week for a potential ruling on the appeal of Tom Brady’s four-game suspension.
As a new week begins, a source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that the Brady camp expects a ruling this week.
Goodell has had post-hearing briefs from the league and the NFL Players Association for more than two weeks, and the coming week will be the last one before the launch of training camps.
The source describes the anticipated outcome as a “sham,” with litigation to promptly follow.
