Judge Berman to make Tom Brady appeal decision this week

By , Reporter
Judge Richard Berman announces that he will make a decision regarding Tom Brady's appeal against his suspension for the deflategate scandal by Wednesday.

Judge Richard Berman has confirmed that he will rule on Tom Brady's appeal against his suspension for the deflategate scandal this week.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association – representing Brady – met in court on Monday in a final attempt to thrash out a settlement over the New England Patriots quarterback's dispute against his four-match ban.

However, they were unable to come to an agreement, leaving the decision in the hands of Berman.

He said outside of court: "The parties tried quite hard, I think. In some cases, it doesn't happen."

On the timing of his decision, he added: "It won't be today, but hopefully tomorrow or the day after."

The Patriots begin their season on September 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
