Today US Law has showed us justice still exists. In a ruling that was surprising to some, not me of course, US Appeals court rules that Commissioner Goodell was 100% within the parameters of the contracts signed by both Brady and NFL owners to punish Brady for cheating or for really any violation for that matter.
Brady now has essentially 3 options at this point,
- Appeal To The 2nd Circuit Appeals.
- Appeal To The Supreme Court.
- Admit He Cheated Publicly And Plead To Goodell For A Lesser Sentence.
Option one would be appealing to the rest of the judges in the circuit court, there is a total of 10, 3 of the judges just ruled in favor of the NFL. Brady would need 6 of the remaining 7 to agree to the appeal. The Supreme Court is very unlikely to hear this case so the first two options usually have a less than 3% chance of happening so if you are a gambler, don't bet on it. Seeing how Goodell already gave Brady his chance to do option 3, I think this will not be on the table again. So as it looks Brady will be punished for cheating after all.
