I bet he doesn’t even sue. He knows he’s guilty as all hell, and won’t want to open himself and everyone else in the organization up to full discovery.
Of course he’ll sue. He doesn’t want to miss any games. That’s what all this “negotiation” was about, the league was willing to reduce and didn’t want it to be zero. Tom feels he did nothing wrong and is unwilling to miss a game. And he’ll win in court. The league has zero proof. And when Tom’s lawyers ask the NFL what the expected normal level of deflation is for half a game of football and the league’s answer is “we have no idea” the case will be over and the suspension will be tossed.
