Just when we thought we have heard all we could hear about Deflate-Gate, it’s back! That’s right, the NFL officially files an appeal over Judge Richard M. Berman’s decision to not suspend Tom Brady for four games.
Back in September, the NFL had planned on appealing the decision. They stated, “We will appeal today’s ruling in order to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game. The commissioner’s responsibility to secure the competitive fairness of our game is a paramount principle, and the league and our 32 clubs will continue to pursue a path to that end. While the legal phase of this process continues, we look forward to focusing on football and the opening of the regular season.”
Be ready to hear even more about Deflate-Gate in the near future. In the meantime, D’Qwell Jackson will continue to search for his intercepted Deflate-Gate ball, while the Colts will continue to shake off that horrible “communication breakdown” of a play. You can read more on the NFL appeal here.
