In a press conference earlier today, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the federal justice system would be suspended indefinitely.

The suspension was for “conduct detrimental to the league” and will begin immediately.

This, of course, comes on the back of a federal judge overturning the NFL’s four game suspension of Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady. The suspension was for Brady’s part in a ball tampering scandal that occurred in a playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.

By suspending the federal justice system, Goodell has, in effect, overturned the overturning of his original ruling. This means that Tom Brady will be sitting out the first four games of the NFL season after all.

“Being the NFL Commissioner grants me a certain level of power over the federal government. It’s not a power I choose to wield lightly but, in this case, I felt it appropriate to suspend the federal justice system. The suspension will be indefinite until I decide it has learned its lesson,” said Goodell.

The federal system will be allowed to appeal. Their case will be presented in front of Roger Goodell at a time and place of his choosing.

All federal cases waiting to be tried will be suspended until a later date.
