Patriots QB Tom Brady’s Appeal Set, Three Points to Watch For

All eyes are on Park Avenue in New York City on Tuesday morning as the appeal for Tom Brady and his four-game suspension reach the NFL office and Roger Goodell.

Brady and his legal team will face off against the league’s lawyers in the latest episode of Deflate-gate and its aftermath. Brady was suspended on May 11 for being “generally aware” that his footballs may have been tampered with during the AFC Championship Game. Brady immediately announced thru his agent Don Yee that he intended to appeal. He hired Jeffrey Kessler and they asked the Commissioner to recuse himself from hearing the appeal since they plan on calling him as a witness.
