Southern District Judge Richard Berman pressed the National Football League to explain Commissioner Roger Goodell’s approval of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady’s suspension for his role in “Deflategate,” an alleged scheme to deflate footballs during a playoff game.
Berman took NFL attorney Daniel Nash to task Wednesday about the league-commissioned “Wells Report,” which concluded it was “more probable than not” Brady was “generally aware” that a locker room attendant deflated footballs after officials had measured them before an AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts on Jan. 18.
