After several months of controversy, a federal judge nullified Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s four game suspension Thursday over the NFL’s argument the Super Bowl champion purposely had his game balls deflated below the league minimum in order to gain an unfair advantage.
That’s right. “Deflategate” is finally over!
New England rejoiced! All Hail Marys answered! Brady and team owner Robert Kraft likely high-fived with smiles bigger than Gillette Stadium!
The NFL …. appealed.
Okay, so it’s not really over. Not shocking. But why should Brady’s deflated balls matter to you?
Let’s take a look at all the best things to come out of this mess.
#1 We get to see more Gisele
Now that Brady is free, we get to see his supermodel wife more. How do you ask?
All the tabloids are reporting their marriage has been in rocky territory since Brady’s suspension. Is she about to hit the market or will we see her cheering Brady from the seats for Week 1?
I’m never one to root for a breakup, so in reality what happens doesn’t really matter. It’s their business. We have the internet. Moving on.
#2 Brady and Kraft’s slick dance moves
We may not see back-to-back Super Bowl championships, but watching these two white guys dance like two white guys is priceless.
Not saying I can do much better, but lovin it!
#3 “Those Balls Are Perfect”
“I don’t want anyone touching those balls, rubbing those balls, to me those balls are perfect.”
#4 Gronk gets to keep being Gronk
You know, party animal who is always giving out free tickets to the gun show, Gronk.
It’s hard telling how long the next step in this litigation process will take, but it’s nice to know that we can all be so entertained from just a couple less PSI units inside a pig-skin.
Tom, do what you want with your balls.
