It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Thats a real dangerous game though, because if they wait a long time and then they officially deny the en banc, the Patriots could be pushing into the playoffs or be in the playoffs and Goodell would love nothing more than a chance to bench Brady with a suspension for their playoff run, especially if the Jets are in the race
FWIW, @RMFifthCircuit and @IanPGunn both think the continuing wait points more and more strongly to denial + dissental.
What exactly does this mean? Dissental

I think they are probably just giving one of the judges time to write up a dissent before releasing the denial order to the public.
Is there any other possible outcome here? Or are we all pretty sure Tom is going to be screwed? Because, I'm sorry, I just can't believe that the Supreme Court will take this case. It just doesn't feel like it.
I am baffled that in our country someone could decide to suspend someone for no other reason, and federal judges agreed with it. It disgusts me.

It would be disgusting indeed. But injustice is prevalent. Consider that the judicial system watched and nodded as a handful of Wall Street executives invented a bogus instrument, mislead the public into investing billions in it, collapsed the entire economy, then collected millions in bonuses and drove off in their limos to their mansions in the Hamptons.I am baffled that in our country someone could decide to suspend someone for no other reason, and federal judges agreed with it.

Some of you are beacons of positivity
I'm uneducated on how this process all works but it seems odd that this is taking as long as it has.
My understanding is that some en banc requests are denied immediately. Some have taken time.
My belief is that it seems to me the longer this goes without word, the more likely that TB12 will get a hearing as there may be much debate among the judges.
I'm assuming that they also are aware that if denied an en banc, TB12 is going to SCOTUS. Not sure how that is factoring into their votes, opinions (upholding or dissenting).
Can't agree more. Instead of enjoying the game when I watch, I find myself looking for examples where the league can be manipulating the outcomes. If I stay a fan of this league much longer I will have to have a tinhat made for me. ....and the paranoia grows.It doesn't matter to me which way this goes. I'll still be dumping the NYJFL as soon as Brady leaves. In a way I almost can't wait. I don't enjoy the games anywhere near as much as I used to in the past.
