## Transcript

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be suspended four games after losing his appeal to the NFL for the Deflategate controversy. In a statement, the NFL said the reasoning behind the upheld suspension was Brady's cell phone, seen as a key Piece of evidence in the case had been destroyed. Originally the NFL suspended Brady for four games, fined the Patriots $ 1 million, and stripped them of their first and fourth round draft picks. The New England Patriots have done nothing inappropriate in this process or in violation of NFL rules. After a brief blowback, the Patriots accepted the team's punishment, but Brady decided to appeal.

It all started with the Patriots 45- 7 win against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game this past season. Although inflated footballs certainly are not the only reason the Colts lost, the NFL came down hard on the Pats. An investigation into the un- aired deflated football suggested it was more probable than not Patriots employees deflated footballs and Brady was at least generally aware of what they did. According to an ABC report earlier this month the NFL Players Association was set to take the NFL to federal court If Brady's suspension remained intact. ESPN reports the lawsuit would allege, among other things, the rule was meant for team personnel, not players.

The NFL does not have adequate ways to measure ball pressure, and Commissioner Roger Goodell should have refused himself from the appeal. I didn't, you know, have any I didn't alter the ball in any way. Brady has maintained his innocence throughout the month's long ordeal.
