Tom Brady declines to speak at Best Buddies Football Challenge

BOSTON — It was business as usual for Tom Brady on Friday, save for one usual task.

The New England Patriots signal-caller participated in organized team activities during the afternoon then took a trip up to Harvard Stadium to quarterback for both teams in the Best Buddies Football Challenge. Brady typically speaks to the media at halftime of the charity event but declined to do so this year while his four-game suspension remains up in the air.

Brady’s suspension appeal reportedly will be heard June 23 and if necessary will continue on June 25. Brady hasn’t spoken publicly since his discipline was handed down over two weeks ago.
