NFL files 59-page brief appealing Deflategate ruling in federal court
by Dan Wilkins Oct 26, 10:23 PM
Deflategate isn't a thing of the past just yet.
The NFL filed a 59-page brief Monday to begin a federal appeal of the U.S. District Court decision to overturn Tom Brady's four-game suspension early last month.
As expected, the league is contesting that Judge Richard Berman "vastly exceeded" his authority and that there was "significant evidence" linking Brady to the deflation scheme in question, according to Michael McCann of Sports Illustrated.
It's unlikely that anything will come of the appeal in the near future, but the opening brief is the first step in what may be the NFL's last opportunity to have the New England Patriots quaterback's initial punishment upheld.
Brady was cleared to play this season when Judge Berman concluded Sept. 3 that the penalties imposed upon him suffered from "several significant legal deficiencies."
