Report: Owners didn't want NFL to appeal Brady ruling

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman ruled on Thursday to overturn Tom Brady’s four-game suspension stemming from his alleged role in Deflategate, but NFL officials are not willing to accept Berman’s ruling and let an incredibly embarrassing situation go away.

Some NFL owners wish they would have.

According to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report, at least two NFL owners were hoping that the NFL would not appeal the decision to overturn Brady’s suspension.

“Two owners I’ve spoken to today have already indicated that they would rather not have the NFL appeal the decision and continue on this case,” Cole said Thursday.
