Report: Brady authorizes NFLPA to appeal his case in court

Tom Brady, the NFL and the NFL Players Association aren’t done yet — not by a long shot.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell upheld the New England Patriots quarterback’s four-game suspension Tuesday. Shortly after the announcement, ESPN’s Jim Trotter cited a source in reporting Brady has authorized the NFLPA to appeal his case in federal court.

This really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Brady reportedly has maintained his innocence all along, and plenty of people — not just Patriots fans — believe the NFL’s case might not stand up in a court of law.
