NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots are both expected to attend a mandated settlement hearing in New York City next week as the Deflategate case begins to make its way through the court system.
Dan Graziano of ESPN reported U.S. District Judge Richard Berman ordered both Goodell and Brady to show up for the Aug. 12 hearing. Ed Werder of ESPN confirmed the commissioner would attend, and George Atallah of the NFL Players Association did the same for Brady, downplaying any speculation otherwise.
