Appeals court to hear oral arguments in 'Deflategate' case (Yahoo Sports)

NFL union lawyers who want New England quarterback Tom Brady to put ''Deflategate'' behind him for good are ready to make their pitch to three New York federal appeals judges. NFL lawyers are asking the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan Thursday to reinstate a four-game suspension the league handed Brady. If the league wins, Brady may have to sit out the start of the upcoming season.
