Roger Goodell: I Have Respect For Tom Brady; Rules Apply To Everybody
Look, more Deflategate news — sort of.
NFL owners were in New York on Wednesday to discuss multiple topics, including possible relocation of a team to Los Angeles. Afterward, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell held a press conference, and one thing he addressed was his relationship with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after their tumultuous summer spent in court.
Goodell: I have a lot of respect and admiration for Tom (Brady.) … But our rules apply to everybody.

That wasn’t all, though. Goodell also discussed why the NFL was appealing U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman’s decision to overturn Brady’s four-game suspension, and if the league planned on handing discipline differently in the future.
Re appeal of Brady decision, refers to "protecting CBA." Re discipline, not in favor of 3rd party arbitration. Translation: keeping power.

It appears Deflategate just isn’t going away.
