Roger Goodell to preside over Brady's appeal

Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman reports commissioner Roger Goodell will personally preside over Tom Brady's appeal of his four-game suspension. It's been confirmed by ESPN's Ed Werder. Freeman calls the development "huge and unexpected." The NFLPA had been seeking a neutral arbitrator. With Goodell personally taking responsibility for the case, he's putting the result squarely on his shoulders. We'd interpret it as the commissioner looking for an out after a week of brutal publicity. It wouldn't be shocking if Brady's four-game ban was slashed to 1-2 games. Although it's become clear there were willful rule violations by the Pats, this is a mole hill that's become a mountain. Ball pressure simply isn't that big of an advantage, and appears to be a rule that is skirted league wide, not just in New England.

I'm sure Tom feels much better now.

Why wouldn't they have a neutral party?

Did you read any of the Patriots statements in their appeal??
I'd say both sides are out of control at the moment

Stupid move by the players in the last lockout.
Feels like an Onion article. "Murderer acquits himself"

I don't care what the Patriots said in their appeal. Goodell is the one that ultimately decides the penalties. It's a basic segregation of duties conflict.

Literally the same exact thing that could be said about "bountygate" but none of the media seemed to try very hard to get to the truth there,

Why would anyone follow them? It was easy to write them off pretty early years ago.

Goodell is such a tyrannical psycho it's not even funny. I just wish every fanbase could go trough something like this so they could know how those who have feel about him. I'm
