NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell just ate crow when the four-game suspension he slapped on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was vacated by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman on Thursday.
This news should be making plenty of NFL players happy.
In a recent poll conducted by ESPN of over 100 NFL players, 88 percent said that Goodell should not be the ultimate authority on assigning discipline.
The complete 13-question survey mainly focused on Brady, the Patriots and Deflategate, which turned out mixed results on some other questions.
For instance, 72 percent of those surveyed think the Patriots deflated the footballs used in the AFC title game against the Indianapolis Colts.
