Deflategate will be back in the headlines on Thursday when the long-running legal battle between Tom Brady and the NFL heads back to the courtroom in New York City. That is day when the NFL will have their appeal heard against Judge Richard Bermans decision to throw out Bradys four-game suspension last September.The ban was originally handed down to the 38-year-old quarterback by the NFL for being generally aware of a scheme to deflate New England Patriots footballs before the 2014 AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. Bradys ban overturned Tom Brady has four-game NFL ban overturned by judge but appeal is confirmed On Thursday, the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals will hear lawyers from both sides argue over whether Judge Berman was correct to overturn the NFLs suspension.When overturning NFL commissioner Roger Goodells ruling, Berman found the leagues basis for issuing the suspension was plagued by several significant legal deficiencies, including a failure to notify Brady beforehand that his alleged conduct could be punished by suspension.The court finds that Brady had no notice that he could receive a four-game suspension for general awareness of ball deflation by others or participation in any scheme to deflate footballs, Berman wrote. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was criticised by Judge Berman Berman also said the Wells Report was not enough to justify the suspension and criticised Goodell for saying that Brady deserved the same penalty as a player who used steroids.Thursdays hearing, which will be heard by three judges, will feature oral arguments from both sides outlining why Judge Bermans ruling should be overturned or upheld.The league, which has hired former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement for this appeal, will argue Bradys suspension was unlawfully overturned. The NFLPA will attempt to reinforce its argument that the league didnt objectively investigate the Deflategate case and then gave Brady an unfair, unprecedented punishment.A decision in the appeal is not expected before the NFL Draft at the end of April but could be later in the summer as neither side in the case has asked for an expedited hearing. Last year both sides requested a decision before the regular-season opener, and Judge Berman granted that wish.Depending on the outcome of this appeal, this saga could rumble into 2017 as either side will have the option of bringing the matter to the Supreme Court if it is unhappy with the outcome.
