Tom Brady’s apparently not going to have to wait nearly as long as Greg Hardy to learn his fate from the league.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told Julia Boorstin of CNBC that a ruling on Brady’s #DeflateGate appeal could come very soon and could be as soon as next week.

Brady’s appeal was heard on June 23, which included more than 10 hours of stuff they originally planned to cram in a four-hour bag.

Hardy’s hearing before Harold Henderson was May 28, and there’s been no indication anything’s imminent on that front either.

So either Goodell heard everything he needed to hear — or didn’t — and doesn’t need nearly as much time to render a decision.
