Brady fights back by filing new suspension appeal

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady filed an appeal Monday for a second hearing by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in regard to his four-game Deflategate suspension imposed by the NFL.

"The facts here are so drastic and so apparent that the court should rehear it," NFL Players Association attorney Theodore B. Olson told ABC News on Monday morning in an interview aired on "Good Morning America."

The court upheld Brady's suspension in a 2-1 decision April 25, deciding that commissioner Roger Goodell's discipline was properly grounded in the collective bargaining agreement and that Brady was treated fairly.
