Tom Brady Deflategate Appeal Hearing Date Announced

The NFL will have to wait until after Super Bowl 50 to get its next crack at Tom Brady for his supposed role in the Deflategate controversy.

According to Reuters' Jonathan Stempel and Joseph Ax, the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments regarding the NFL's appeal on March 3, 2016.

In September, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman overturned Brady's four-game suspension issued by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell quickly announced the NFL would file its appeal of that decision, per NFL.com's Kevin Patra:

We are grateful to Judge Berman for hearing this matter, but respectfully disagree with today's decision.
