Tom Brady and representatives from the player’s union are meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell at NFL headquarters as Brady tries to appeal his four game suspension in his role of using deflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game win over Indianapolis. Among the key elements of Brady’s appeal will be about who ordered his four game suspensions and whether science supports the league’s findings about deflated footballs.

While the NFL Players Association asked Goodell to recuse himself from hearing the appeal, he was the one who authorized the discipline, Goodell felt it was his responsibility to oversee the hearing to protect the integrity of the league, but he will give Brady the opportunity to introduce new evidence. If the suspension is not overturned, the battle could end up going to court.
