From what ive heard, sounds like the SC would decide on whether or not to hear the case somewhere between late october-late november. If thats the case, i would bet the farm that TB will decide to serve the 4 game suspension at the start of the season, while still pursuing justice at the SC. hed do that because he wouldnt want to run the risk of the SC announcing in late nov. that they denied the request to hear the case. or worse, what if the SC doesnt decide until dec.? playoff run in jeopardy and the rest of the nfl gets what they wanted. i think the only way TB doesnt sit first 4 games is either SC makes their decision before game 1(highly unlikely), or his legal team tells him theres a high probability SC wont decide on whether or not to hear case until after the SB.(also seems unlikely). So if im a betting man, id make two wagers and go all in on both:1. TB is sitting out the first 4. 2. TB is still pursuing justice at the SC( but wont risk hurting the team by possibly facing 4 game suspenion in dec-jan-feb, when it matters.
Brady isn't going to serve the suspension unless he is denied the stay by the SC. They decision for the stay would be made a lot sooner than October-November. The October-November decision would just be whether or not SCOTUS would be willing to hear arguments. Then it would be added to the docket based on what is already ahead of the case..
Further, I suggest you look at Quantum's post for a more accurate timetable.
Court denies Brady a re-hearing!!!
