Ruling Over 'Deflategate' Expected By End Of This Week

A federal judge will decide later this week whether the National Football League can suspend New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for four games over "Deflategate". The two sides said Monday they hadn't reached a settlement in the dispute over underinflated footballs used in the AFC Championship Game earlier this year. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman said he could issue his ruling in the next day or two, and "certainly before Friday," the New York Daily News reported.
