Tom Brady is probably still doing the money dance after his four-game suspension was overturned by a federal judge earlier today. Because of that ruling, the spinmaster known as Roger Goodell will not be attending the 2015 opener between the Steelers and the Patriots next Thursday night. His excuse, according to Mike Garofolo of FOX Sports, is that he doesn't want to attend and take away from the game.

Roger Goodell will not attend next Thursday's NFL opener in Foxboro, NFL confirmed. Believes the focus should be on game/festivities.

Right, because it's not like his ass was going to get booed to high heaven with Jimmy Garoppolo under center.

Who is advising this guy? Just go to the game and take it like a man. The NFL is the worst league in America. We need to get Goodell out of the paint.
