Tom Brady will be at next Thursday’s season-opener at Gillette Stadium, but Roger Goodell will not.
According to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports, Goodell will not be in attendance at Sept. 10’s game between the Patriots and Steelers. He reports that Goodell and the NFL believe the focus should be on the game and festivities.
The Patriots will be raising their Super Bowl banner and typically the commissioner is in attendance at the opening game.
Brady and the NFLPA beat Goodell and the NFL in the Deflategate case, as on Thursday Judge Richard Berman nullified Brady’s four-game suspension.

They are sorry that the NYJ let Belichick go and they feel that NYJ would have at least five Super Bowl championships if he did not go to New England.
It's quite possible that once this New England Patriot dynasty runs its course (personally I think they will win 10 out of the next 20 Super Bowls), they will be recognized as the greatest team in the history of the NFL - probably all of sports for that matter.
I don't think there's a professional sports team that has dominated like the New England Patriots have done over the past 15 years. If you are a sports fan, you are fortunate to be living in these times.
It’s the right move. Way too much attention would be on him if he was there. Let the game happen with as little mention of this silliness as possible.
Goodell tried to take on the big boys and got his pee-pee whacked.
Sounds like Godell got the air taken out of his sails...
Bummer. /s
No hate like Brady hate....it’s toxic.
