Retire Brady's number in front of the nation opening game.
That would be the biggest middle finger (other then not playing the game which will not happen) that the Pats can give to Goodell and the NFL.
Do not tell the NFL the intention, just have Kraft address the crowd and the audience before the unveiling and say "we couldn't have won our 4th Super Bowl without Tom Brady and we feel it is unjust to lift the banner without Tom Brady. What the league did to Tom was unjust. Tonight we are going to rightly honor Tom Brady in front of the NFL, our fans, and all America. Tonight we are going to retire Tom Brady's #12 jersey. He of course can keep wearing it, but no one else will be able to after him. Tonight we retire the number of the greatest football player to ever step on the field, Tom Brady."
Banner lifts. Crowd erupts. Goodell faints. This needs to happen.
