I assume you understand only the 4 game suspension was overturned? The Judge did not address the fines and lost draft choices penalties levied against the Pats and Brady.

Since the NFL has appealed the suspension may in fact be reinstituted.

Those were punishments of the team, and Kraft has opted not to fight. He’s probably win if they did.

The suspension won’t be re-instituted. And continuing the fight is just another layer of petty from the league. That’s the biggest thing they’ve lost, not the case, the off season. When we could have been talking about the combine, we were talking about deflated balls. When we could have been talking about free agency, we were talking about deflated balls. When we could have been talking about the draft, we were talking about deflated balls. When we could have been talking about training camp, we were talking about deflated balls. And here we are 4 days from the start of the season, and we’re talking about deflated balls.

That’s the permanent loss for the league. They squandered an off-season of football news for a rule that’s essential a uniform violation.
