Deflategate

Long after the New England Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts, in a game known best for its deflated footballs, a Colts fan is still getting his sweet revenge: by selling novelty foam hats.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady can suit up for his team's season opener after a judge erased his suspension.

The Patriots say staff members used the term "deflate" to talk about losing weight — not about breaking the NFL's rules on football inflation, as the league says.

He says that a report stating that his client probably knew of the scheme to let air out of game balls suggests investigators reached a conclusion prior to their probe.
