Goodell, Kraft’s Decision Has No Bearing on Brady Appeal

No surprise as Goodell sidesteps questions and stands behind Wells Report

If you were waiting for a bombshell from Commissioner Roger Goodell at his press conference on Wednesday concerning the suspension of Tom Brady, you were surely disappointed.

Goodell, speaking at the conclusion of the owner’s meetings in San Francisco was quite clear stating the decision by Patriots owner Robert Kraft to accept the league’s Deflate-gate punishment will have no bearing on deciding Brady’s appeal.

Goodell attempted to show that the he and the NFL were open and transparent (we hear lots of that these days), but in the end, he stonewalled and hid behind the Wells Report.
