DeflateGate: Analyzing Judge Berman's Decision to Free Brady

In your Good News of the Day, Judge Richard Berman has sided with the NFL Players Association and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady by vacating the NFL's four game suspension. You can read his ruling here. I will be combing the document and providing the major details.

The judge didn't like the lack of connection between Tom Brady and ball deflation.

While the NFL argued that Brady was "generally aware" and then hyped up the charges "literally did it himself", the fact that multiple persons associated with the investigation (Ted Wells, Jeff Pash) acknowledged that there is no actual connection between the footballs and Brady didn't sit well with the judge.
