4. Win the Super Bowl

If Brady really wants to stick it to Goodell, all he has to do is win baby. By winning the Super Bowl, Brady will essentially be rubbing it in his face.

Brady will be the face of the NFL again and at every press conference, Deflategate will be brought up. This has to be Goodell’s nightmare, Brady constantly rubbing it in his face. The Deflategate blemish won’t soon wear off and the hoopla surrounding the Super Bowl will only reignite the flames.

The media frenzy will be devastating to Goodell and his cherished NFL shield. All his actions will be scrutinized and he may even be disciplined himself.

The Patriots winning the Super Bowl would also be a big middle finger to Goodell. A championship would prove that the suspension didn’t even faze the team. Winning it all would surely fix Brady’s reputation and tarnish Goodell’s, which is exactly what Brady wants.
