Not even a home field advantage could help the NFL in this case.
Tom Brady, to the hopes and prayers of Patriots fans, has been "freed."
On Thursday morning, Judge Richard Berman overturned the league's original four-game suspension of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in his alleged involvement in the DeflateGate controversy, according to the Associated Press.
The ruling clears the way for Brady to start New England's regular season opener on Sept. 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and cannot help but hand another very large blow to the former credibility of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who finds himself on the losing end of yet another high-profile attempt at punishing his players.
Goodell and the NFL lost their cases with regards to the BountyGate case, the Ray Rice controversy, the Adrian Peterson child abuse case, and the Greg Hardy domestic violence controversy.
The next logical step, as it always has been, is an appeal, so the DeflateGate story is not yet over.
There will be more to come throughout the day.
