Tom's Decision

It's hard to believe that Deflategate is finally over in light of Tom Brady's decision to drop further appeals and take a four game suspension.

It was a long shot that the US Supreme Court would hear the case. I think everyone decided that it would be best if he missed the first four games of the season.

The decision will now unleash a torrent of second-guessers on talk radio and in the media. The four games will come and go, but Brady will be linked to this forever.
