NEW YORK (AP) — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game "Deflategate" suspension imposed by the National Football League, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, overturning a lower-court judge and siding with the league in a battle with the players' union.
A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a split decision that may end the legal debate over the scandal that led to months of football fans arguing over air pressure and the reputation of one of the league's top teams and its star leader. The court said that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell did not deprive Brady of "fundamental fairness" with his procedural rulings.
The death of Prince marks the end of a brilliant music career by one of pop music's most talented and eclectic artists. A virtuoso on any number of instruments, a master arranger and producer, and a preeminent showman, Prince's music was as diverse and versatile as his elaborate outfits.
