FOXBOROUGH – One has to wonder if there are people out there who feel happier about this than the Super Bowl win in February.
That is preposterous, of course. But it more or less feels that way.
Given how long this absurdity known as DeflateGate has dragged on, given the parameters of the absurdity, and given to what lengths both sides have gone to to try and resolve the issue, Thursday’s ruling by Judge Richard Berman vacating the four-game suspension levied on Tom Brady has the feel of a Super Bowl win. Brady is now cleared to play the entire 2015 regular season, beginning next Thursday night at Gillette Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
