NEW: Roger Goodell “We Will Appeal Today’s Ruling”
Thursday, September 03, 2015
Roger Goodell's Statement
"We are grateful to Judge Berman for hearing this matter, but respectfully disagree with today's decision. We will appeal today's ruling in order to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game. The commissioner's responsibility to secure the competitive fairness of our game is a paramount principle, and the league and our 32 clubs will continue to pursue a path to that end. While the legal phase of this process continues, we look forward to focusing on football and the opening of the regular season."
What That Means
Roger Goodell said that the NFL will appeal however, multiple reports have said that they will not file a request to keep Brady from playing.
Any appeal going forward is unlikely to effect the 2015 season in which the Patriots will defend their Super Bowl Championship.
