Tom Brady and the NFLPA officially filed an appeal on Thursday in regards to the quarterback's four-game suspension.
According to Mike Freeman of the Bleacher Report, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will hear the appeal.
In the NFLPA's statement on Thursday, they made a request for a neutral arbitrator.
Given the NFL’s history of inconsistency and arbitrary decisions in disciplinary matters, it is only fair that a neutral arbitrator hear this appeal.
If Ted Wells and the NFL believe, as their public comments stated, that the evidence in their report is "direct" and "inculpatory," then they should be confident enough to present their case before someone who is truly independent.
