Brandon Marshall appeals suspension

Brandon Marshall was suspended by Roger Goodell for 3 games (can be reduced to 2) under the Personal Conduct Policy. Well, he has filed an appeal to...umm, the Commissioner:

Brandon Marshall formally appealed his three-game suspension Thursday to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, according to a league source. Goodell had found the Broncos' receiver in violation of the league's personal conduct policy. An appeal hearing has not been set, although it's expected before the season-opening week.

Appeal aside, Goodell said he would consider reducing the suspension to two games if Marshall met certain conditions.

The New Orleans Saints, the Broncos' Game 3 opponent, might be interested to learn the most significant condition is for Marshall to stay free from trouble and disturbances through Sept. 15, which is when he can be reinstated.

Makes no sense. His chance to appeal was when he met with Roger Goodell. The Commissioner isn't going to reduce or cancel the suspension now.

Filing an appeal is just going to give the impression that he doesn't understand why he's being punished under the policy possibly influencing his explanations if to the Commissioner if (when) he gets in trouble again.
