nfl has the right to appeal to whichever circuit court has juridiction (2nd maybe?). at this point, it seems like they've made their point and should move on.
only caught a portion of it this morning while getting ready, but i thought i heard roger cossack on espn say something about brady was pissed because at the time they talked, goodell didn't tell him he could be suspended for something like this, and he objected to having a suspension that was as long as someone who got popped for PEDs. if there's a better understanding of this part from someone, feel free to correct my version.
if this is true, you have to be a special kind of moron to not realize that when the commissioner talks to you about possible cheating that you can be suspended.
