Hey, finally after eight months of waiting, we have a decision on deflategate. And look who arrived at gillette stadium. Tom brady free to play now after playing hardball with the nfl. The giants are in foxborough tonight where its sure to feel a little more rowdy than simply a preseason finale. Well preview that game coming up next on news 4 at 6 00. Tom brady took on the nfl and won. And in the process, the patriots quarterback peeled back the curtain on the process. Judge Richard Berman noted in a 40page decision today that brady had no notice he could be suspended for four games for being generally aware of ball deflation. The judge also took up with the attempt to equate deflating the football to using performance enhancing drugs. He zeroed in on the discipline process noting that roger goodell, quote, dispensed his own brand of industrial justice. And that line got virtual high fives from nfl players all over social media who recognized this as a victory, not just for brady, but for the players union. So bradys free to play this season for the patriots, but we are not yet done with deflate deflategate. Goodell says we respectfully disagree with todays decision. We will appeal todays ruling in order to uphold the responsibility to protect the integrity of the game. But the Players Association counters the decision should prove once and for all that our collective Bargaining Agreement does not grant this commissioner the authority to be unfair, arbitrary and misleading. And wouldnt you know, brady and the patriots wrap up their preseason against the giants. No victor cruz, but the First Team Offense may get a few extra snaps early to get themselves back on track.
