New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took to Facebook to break his silence about Deflategate a day after a judge's ruling that he would not serve the four-game suspension prescribed by the NFL resulting from the deflated football scandal.
In a lengthy Facebook post on Sept. 4, Friday, Brady wrote, "I don't think it has been good for our sport - to a large degree, we have all lost."
"The regular season starts tomorrow morning and I can't wait to fully commit my energy and emotion to focus on the challenges of the 2015 NFL season," Brady started before his long list of people to thank including his family, his friends, all of his fans, past and current players and his teammates for the support they have given his throughout what he called a challenging experience.
Also, Brady thanked the legal team who "has fought so hard right along" with him and United States District Judge Richard M. Berman and his staff for their efforts to resolve the matter over the past five weeks.
Previously, Berman said he found multiple reasons to reject Brady's suspension a week before New England's opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 10 and criticized NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for dispensing his own brand of industrial justice, Time reported.
Aside from being an NFL star, Brady also recently appeared as himself in the films "Entourage" and "Ted 2," which recently earned $3.6 million at the box office in Japan, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
