NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear on Wednesday that he is unlikely to grant the NFL Players Association’s request of recusing himself from the Tom Brady appeal. Could that wind up being a good thing for Brady?
Brady, who is appealing a four-game suspension, has maintained that he did nothing wrong in relation to the Deflategate scandal. The Ted Wells report failed to prove otherwise. However, NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said Brady’s suspension had a lot to do with his lack of cooperation in refusing to turn over his personal cell phone during the investigation.
