NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Football League players union on Tuesday made public a full transcript of star New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's June 23 appeal of his four-game "Deflategate" suspension before league Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The transcript, filed in Manhattan federal court as part of the union's challenge to the suspension, revealed Brady's testimony defending his alleged role in a scheme to deflate footballs before the Patriots' 45-7 playoff win in January over the Indianapolis Colts.
