Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has issued a statement denying a report he has exerted any pressure on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to uphold the four-game suspension of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio told a San Diego radio station on Friday that Bisciotti and Colts owner Jim Irsay were among a group of AFC owners who would be angered if the NFL were to exonerate Brady and vacate the quarterback's suspension.
"I have not and will not put any pressure on the Commissioner or anyone representing the NFL office to take action in what everyone is calling 'Deflategate,' " Bisciotti said Sunday in a team-issued statement.
