Deflategate is finally over. Tom Brady took to Facebook to announce that he was accepting his four game suspension and not taking his appeal to the Supreme Court.
It’s about time we can all put this behind us even though it’s probably not good for anyone (except for Patriots’ haters) that Brady has to sit out for a quarter of the season.
Victory for NFL isn't a victory over Tom Brady, it's a victory over all players and Goodell's power going forward.

Short term, the NFL wins a pretty awful prize of having one of their biggest stars gone for a quarter of the season.

Update: The NFLPA might still take Brady’s appeal to the Supreme Court.
