A federal appeals court has ruled that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game Deflategate suspension imposed by the NFL, overturning a lower judge and siding with the league in a battle with the NFL Players Association.

"We hold that the Commissioner properly exercised his broad discretion under the collective bargaining agreement and that his procedural rulings were properly grounded in that agreement and did not deprive Brady of fundamental fairness," the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday in a 2-1 decision in New York.

I'd love to hear that this is the end of this, but I think pride is going to keep this thing going. 

Brady would miss games vs Arizona, Miami, Buffalo and Houston and would return week 5 vs Cleveland.  I'd take New England and the over in that one.
