Tom Brady’s legal team is ready and willing to fight the NFL anywhere.
Brady’s lawyers and the NFL Players Association are gearing up for a legal battle with the NFL centered around commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision to uphold Brady’s four-game suspension. The case was transferred to New York, despite the NFLPA’s attempts to file suit in labor-friendly Minnesota.
“It really doesn’t matter to us where the case is,” Brady’s lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, told ProFootballTalk.com. “What we finally have is a neutral forum. Before a neutral forum, we are very confident in our poisition.”
Kessler and his team plan to refile the paperwork in New York with “some revisions,” he told PFT, but “ostensibly we will be making the same arguments.”
Perhaps Patriots fans can take solace in the fact that Brady has a 70-34 career road record, so Kessler might be on to something when he says they don’t care where the case is played, er, held.
