A source tells Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio that a ruling on Tom Brady's appeal of his four-game Deflategate suspension will come this week and it won't be good news for TB12 and the Patriots.
Florio's reports his source "describes the anticipated outcome as a 'sham,' with litigation to promptly follow." The reporting date for Patriots training camp is July 29 and their regular season opener is the NBC Thursday night special, Sept. 10, at Gillette Stadium against the Pittburgh Steelers.
Will Goodell upholding a suspension of any length mean an injunction filed by Brady and the NFL Players Association, which would keep Brady from missing games while the case is in court?
Of course, there's more to come on this...
