The Commissioner is disappointed in Deland's latest allegations, rumor-mongering and paranoid fantasies. He categorically denies being in Chicago of official business and indeed did not leave Midway Airport at all. Further, the Commissioner is not living in a house owned by Roger Goodell. Any attempts by Deland further exposes his tenuous grip on reality.
On Deland's other
fear-mongering tripe announcement of appealing the Commissioner's decision, any such appeal would be brought before the Commissioner as arbitrator. If Deland indeed wants to file a suit, the Commissioner reminds him of Part VIII, section 5 of the league by-laws: "
No member shall bring litigation against the league or the Commissioner with the Commissioner's
expressed written consent."
The Commissioner has spoken.
