The never-ending Deflategate saga took another turn Monday when a federal appeals court reinstated the NFL’s four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned last year’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman, who had nullified the league’s suspension of the four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Brady played all of last season as the Patriots reached the AFC title game before losing at Denver to the Broncos. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell declined to say at his annual state-of-the-league news conference two days before the Super Bowl whether the league would enforce Brady’s suspension during the 2016 season if it prevailed in its appeal of Berman’s decision.

As crappy as the Patriot's division is, I don't think the suspension will have more than a negative effect than having a shiny uninjured quarterback going into the fifth game of the season. Those first four suspension games have defenses that kill QB's seasons, and none of them are division rivals. This looks more positive than negative for a team I absolutely despise.
