I think it is possible that Goodell, after his direct and personal inquiries and consideration of the Patriots' rebuttals to the Well's report, will overturn the punishment. If he upholds the punishment, this will eventually go to an independent party and the NFL will likely loose as there is not clear evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Brady or the Patriots'. If that occurs, the NFL owners will have to seriously consider removing him for the clear damage he will have done to the NFL. His only way out is to be careful with his review and if there still exists significant holes, he will try to save his job and end the issue.

I agree with above comment . . . this will end up in federal court, Brady will sue to include 'damages', Goodell will be gone

even if GOODELL upholds any of the suspension I see this going to a Federal Court primarily because Brady's team requested a neutral arbitrator and Goodell is far from Neutral. In fact I saw this tweet and I think it's very accurate.... Goodell hearing Brady's appeal = Harry Potter's term paper being traded by Voldemort
