It doesn't sound like we'll be getting another Friday afternoon announcement from Roger Goodell's office this week, with regards to Tom Brady's suspension, at least. According to Ed Werder, there's "zero chance" of a Brady ruling coming on Friday.

Two weeks ago, the NFL announced Greg Hardy's suspension would be reduced from 10 games to four. The week prior, Goodell brought down the hammer on four players, suspending them all for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

While those announcements came as somewhat of a surprise, everyone and their mothers are anxiously awaiting an ruling on Brady's suspension. We all just want to know if Brady will be on the field in the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is that so much to ask?

On the bright side, Patriots training camp begins on Wednesday, which could act as a deadline for the announcement.
