(CNN)NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is open to changing his role in how the league disciplines its players, he told the "Mike & Mike" show on ESPN2 on Tuesday.

In his first public remarks since the NFL lost in federal court in the Tom Brady "Deflategate" case, Goodell said that he is open to changes in the player disciplinary process, with the potential of setting up a panel to handle punishment of players.

The process has become "extremely time-consuming," he said. "I have to be focused on a variety of other issues, and that's what I've discussed with many of the owners over the last couple years."

Goodell said he would not be at the NFL regular-season opener Thursday night, which has the Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. He said he didn't want to be a distraction. Instead, Goodell said he'll be attending the Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears game in Chicago on Sunday.

"The focus should be on football," Goodell said. "It should be a great night on Thursday night. I certainly don't want to be a distraction to that, but I think everyone wants to get back to football, and certainly I do."

IOWs Goodell cannot arbitrarily violate the CBA and the "law of the shop." Goodell was not impartial when he appointed himself the one to hear the appeal. Lots wrong wrong with this process too.

Keep derping it up.

Everybody doesn't know that. This is called an opinion. You're using a lynch mob mentality. That's why we have courts. Brady was guilty before innocent to you when it was first mentioned.

So when are you going to push Brady down a flight of steps for one of your typical punishments.

You're wrong about much of what you profess to know. So much so that the responsibility is on you to correct it b/c your mind is made up on this subject and will only process information that you assimilate. I think the issue may be your your lack of common sense...

Dude, let it go and just go home. You're not really welcome here anymore. Go hang out with your own kind and have a stupidity circle-jerk.

You forgot Kraft... He's the one setting the "win at all cost" tone - BB and TB are just very willing to work in the "Cheat" zone, and they were perfect hires for a system with cheating as one of its cornerstones.

The Patriots are so deep in the heads of their opponents and their fans it's going to take years of therapy to recover.
