Tom Brady. Suspended. Again.
A federal appeals court on Monday ruled that the Patriots' quarterback must serve a four-game suspension in the Deflategate case, overturning a lower judge's ruling in September.
"We hold that the commissioner properly exercised his broad discretion under the collective bargaining agreement and that his procedural rulings were properly grounded in that agreement and did not deprive Brady of fundamental fairness," the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.
Judge Richard Berman ruled in September that Brady would not have to serve his suspension for his role in the Patriots' use of underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game in January 2015.
