Please be advised that the NFLPA and Mr. Brady intend to call both you and Commissioner Goodell as essential witnesses in the proceeding. You both will be called upon to testify about, among other things, the circumstances surrounding the purported delegation of
disciplinary authority from Commissioner Goodell to you in this matter and the factual basis for that purported delegation. You also will both be required to testify about when you became aware of the Colts’ complaints about ball deflation and what decisions and steps were thereafter taken to set up what may have been a “sting operation” to try to implicate the Patriots and Mr. Brady
Tom Brady and the NFLPA Appeal His Suspension
This thing just keeps getting juicier and juicier. So Goodell thinks he’ll just appoint himself to hear the appeal, well it’s kinda tough to do that when you’re being called as a witness as well. To save everyone some time he should just uphold the stupid and overreaching punishment so this thing can go where it’s going to end up anyway – a higher court with an actual neutral judge.
