Brown made a twitter plea (I know, you're shocked) presumably to NFL commissioner Goodell to wrap up his investigation and rule so teams may decide if they want to consider signing Brown or not.
The commissioner responded by saying something to the effect of, "We have a lot to go through, we'll get to it when we can and as soon as we know anything, we'll call you."
Of course this frustrates Brown because few to no teams will risk signing him if they don't know how the league is going to respond to his general jack-assery.
What I find interesting is that Brown has been officially released. He is NOT an NFL player right now. He's just a guy on the street. Does the league have any legal imperative to get the investigation wrapped up? Would they expedite an investigation for Joe Nobody on the street? Of course not. So why would the league consider it in their best interests to waste time and manpower investigating Brown's case until some team decides they're going to bite the bullet and sign him even without assurances of how an investigation may turn out?
