Someone made this point on another post, but if Goodell reduces Brady's suspension to zero, wouldn't that mean Brady has nothing to appeal?
If Brady can't appeal, the NFL has no exposure to outside review and the Patriots are still screwed out of the draft picks if Goodell wants to play it that way (which would be pretty ****ed up if that penalty stands after Brady is cleared on appeal).
So, if Goodell is smart (and clearly he's not) and still wants to torpedo the Patriots (which clearly he does) and he's an evil scumbag (pretty clear that he is), he vacates Brady's suspension but not the fine and loss of picks.
It will be interesting to see how he plays this hand.
