Roger Goodell: No timeline on Tom Brady appeal
"There is no timeline," Goodell told TribLive.com on Tuesday.....
Goodell's statement Tuesday falls in line with an appeals process that has no true precedent in terms of timeframe. The New Orleans Saints' coaching staff heard back on their bounty-related penalties after four days and the players heard back in eight. Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy, whose suspension was recently reduced to four games, waited 43 days to hear the result, while Adrian Peterson waited eight and Ray Rice 22.
Regardless, New England will be waiting nervously. Without a timeline in place, the team will have to continue the delicate balance of prepping backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and game planning without Brady for the first four games of the season
There will be no suspension, but NE will have wasted the entire preseason getting a BU ready. That way Goodell causes maximum damage with does not suspend Brady at all
