(Reuters) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, suspended on Monday for four games by the National Football League for his role in "Deflategate," will appeal the penalty, his agent said.
Don Yee, Brady's agent, said in announcing the appeal that the probe into the deflated football scandal will "be exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and logic."
Ted Wells, an attorney hired by the NFL to investigate the allegations, said in his report that it was likely that Brady and Patriots personnel circumvented league rules by using deflated footballs in the team's 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game.
