Tedy Bruschi calls on National Football League to end Tom Brady ban

For New England Patriots fans sitting in anticipation of an appeal ruling on quarterback Tom Brady’s suspension, they’ll have to wait a little bit longer.

The NFL says Goodell authorized the discipline that was imposed by league executive Troy Vincent, who signed the letters sent to Brady and the Patriots informing them of the penalties.

The 37-year-old has appealed the decision, and attended a hearing yesterday.

That process alone would push the suspension into the season, CBS Sports reported, because of the time the National Football League has to respond and the time Brady would have to respond to the NFL’s response.

While it has been reported the commissioner Roger Goodell would receive briefs in the middle of next week to review, he is not expected to make his decision before the holiday weekend of July 4, this according to an ESPN report.

SI.com’s Richard Dietsch spoke to a small group of Hall of Fame voters, including SportsDay’s Rick Gosselin, to gauge their feelings on Brady’s chances at the Hall and what kind of effect Deflategate would have.

That outcome is different than what Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole thinks will happen in the Deflategate case.

There’s a chance Goodell cuts Brady’s suspension in half and gives the QB a two-game ban, but that would likely lead to Brady taking the league to court.

Because of the possible Brady lawsuit, he would be able to play in the season opener, with rating skyrocketing.

The Cowboys defensive end, suspended 10 games for violating the Personal Conduct Policy, had an appeal hearing before arbitrator Harold Henderson on May 28, four weeks and one day ago.
