Tom Brady deflate gate suspension reinstated

The Appeals Court threaded a needle, overturning solely on the basis of deferring to the authority of the commissioner while actually agreeing with the NFLPA issues with the way Goodell behaved. Basically all they said was "he has the power in your contract".

For appeal from here, the NFLPA probably needs to concentrate on showing that the issues demonstrated bad faith on Goodell's part, and as such violate the basic principle in a contract that both parties acted in good faith.
