    Tom Brady's Deflategate Suspension Reinstated
    The N.F.L. appealed that ruling to the Second Circuit, which heard oral arguments in early March. The judges were openly skeptical of many of the arguments made by Brady’s lawyer, signaling that they sided with the N.F.L.’s case that Goodell had broad discretion to suspend players.In their decision, the judges did not consider the underlying facts of the case, including the science of football deflation, but looked solely at whether Goodell, as arbitrator, acted in the spirit of the collective ..
