Does anyone know if or how the appeal process works for NFL punishments, or is it just accept the letter of the Goodell Law and don't ask questions?

I think the only option is to take it to the courts.

Not sure of the process, but I know Sean Payton and company would be appealing to Goodell.

I know that Ben Roethlisberger had his 6 game "accused of rape" suspension reduced to 4 games without an appeal. Not sure if the process varies for players vs management though...

no appeal process, Goodell is judge, jury and executioner.

Oh they can ask him but he doesn't even have to listen if he doesn't want to and SP has no recourse.
