If Brady loses his appeal in front of Goodell, and then appeals to the United States District Court, and wins - I think Goodell loses his job. That would be a third appeal he has heard, and flubbed. His mis-management of the Ray Rice situation, and the penalty for deflategate - alienating Kraft (one of, I believe, the more influential owners) all add up to a lost commissionership for Goodell - if he rules against Brady, and is wrong.
