The attorney for Tom Brady confirmed Monday on Good Morning America that the Patriots quarterback will take the next step in his Deflategate battle with the NFL by appealing for a full appeals court hearing.
Brady had his four-game suspension reinstated by the Second Circuit United States Court of Appeals and faced several options. Either he could go straight to the Supreme Court or he could ask the Second Circuit for an "en banc" hearing (essentially the full panel of judges). Brady plans to file the appeal Monday.
"The facts here are so drastic and so apparent that the court should rehear it," attorney Ted Olson said.
