NEW YORK (Reuters) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's appeal of his four-game National Football League suspension for participating in a scheme to deflate footballs concluded in a marathon hearing on Tuesday at NFL headquarters.
The two sides finished 11 hours after the start of the appeal heard by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that included an hour break for lunch.
"Tom was here until the bitter end," Players Association lawyer Jeffrey Kessler, who represented Brady, told reporters as he left the Park Avenue office tower.
