@us.new.trending4: Tom Brady Returned from Four-Game Deflategate Suspension 10 Years Ago Ten years after returning to the field from his four-game suspension over the Deflategate scandal, Tom Brady's controversial punishment remains a subject of debate among sports figures and fans. The scandal stemmed from the January 2015 AFC Championship game, where an NFL investigation concluded it was "more probable than not" that Patriots personnel intentionally deflated footballs and that Brady was "at least generally aware" of the violation. Following legal appeals and court battles, Brady served his suspension at the start of the 2016 season before returning on October 9, 2016, to lead the New England Patriots to a 33-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The NFL reportedly spent approximately 22 million dollars on the two-year investigation and legal proceedings. Several prominent sports figures have criticized the league's response, with retired NFL star Jason Kelce calling the punishment unnecessary and sportscaster Bob Costas suggesting the league overreacted to the situation. Do you think Tom Brady deserved a four-game suspension for Deflategate? #TomBrady #NFL #Player #NewEnglandPatriots #Sports
