NEW YORK, July 28 (UPI) -- The National Football League is upholding its four-game suspension and $1 million penalty for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his role in the so-called "deflategate," league officials said Tuesday.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ruled the suspension he issued in May will still go into effect in the upcoming season. The NFL suspended Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season after it was determined the Patriots used underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts in January.
