Judge Richard M. Berman nullified the NFL’s suspension of Tom Brady for his part in the Deflategate scandal. The decision marks the fourth penalty handed down by Goodell to be overturned.

It seems that Briggs is happy to see Brady has finally broken free from the hold of Roger Goodell and the NFL. He is not alone as Brady is receiving a lot of support from his teammates and other NFL players.
