Tom Brady's suspension reinstated by 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals

The NFL always seems to make headlines somehow, and they're back at it again with the help of a major U.S. court.

The Green Bay Packers are not scheduled to play the New England Patriots in the 2016 season, but a decision affecting Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is noteworthy nonetheless for fans of all NFL teams.

This decision relates to the continued saga over deflated footballs that followed the NFL's 2014 season and ended up with commissioner Roger Goodell issuing Brady a four-game suspension. Following Brady's initial appeal - which was heard by Goodell - he appealed to a federal district court, which struck down the suspension.
