So much for that four-hour limit.
More than 10 hours after it began, the Tom Brady appeal hearing is still going. Via Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post, the NFL says that “[t]he intent is to get this done tonight and not go into Thursday.”
It will take, per the NFL, “[a]s long as it takes.”
Originally, Tuesday and Thursday of this week had been set aside for the hearing. Although the sooner the hearing concludes the sooner a ruling can be issued, the process eventually becomes counterproductive, regardless of how macho the Alpha males involved are trying to be.
