Complete Deflategate Report: Tom Brady’s Four Game Suspension Upheld by NFL and More

Bad news for Patriots fans broke Tuesday afternoon when Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reported that the NFL decided to stand by its original decision and uphold Tom Brady’s four game suspension for “Deflategate.”

The final decision was made by the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell. In his twenty page decision, Goodell stated that Tom Brady “engaged in conduct detrimental to the integrity of….the game of professional football,” and that his “suspension is confirmed.”

One huge factor in Goodell’s decision was the fact that Brady seemed to be uncooperative with the league during its investigation.
