Tom Brady, Roger Goodell Ordered to Appear in Court for Deflategate Appeal

As a resolution in the Tom Brady Deflategate case continues to elude those involved, the judge in charge has requested the presence of both the New England Patriots quarterback and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

According to SportsCenter, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman has ordered that Brady and Goodell must appear on Aug. 31 if the two sides have yet to reach an agreement by that point.

Goodell suspended Brady for the first four games of the regular season due to his alleged involvement in the Deflategate scandal, but the NFL Players Association is looking to get the ruling overturned.
