The NFL finally has announced its decision in the #Deflategate scandal. Drum roll, please:

And now NFL has announced it. Tom Brady suspended four games, Patriots fined $1 million, lose two picks.

Just so you know: in the NFL you can beat your fiancee and get suspended for two games. Slightly under-inflating footballs, 4 games.

"Ray Rice" is currently trending on Twitter in DC. Great job, NFL.

In Tom Brady's defense, it's not like he goes around killing people. That's another guy on the Patriots.

Tom Brady got a 4 game suspension for deflating a ball. If he had punched a ball in a hotel elevator he would've gotten two games.

No one’s more relieved to see the end of this long national nightmare than the country’s headline writers (and wannabe headline writers), who have been dying to put their very best puns to use.
Headline: Deflated balls mean shrinkage in Brady's pocket

Headline: The Brady Botch. (Had they been overinflated: Air Apparent.)

When Brady has his suspension shortened, you can make the headline "League falls flat, Brady wins appeal"
You're welcome.

@mattvensel headline idea: "NFL Inflates Brady's Balls" It's my gift to you, feel free to use it.

@jmartNYT Getting sacked, sacked balls, balls in sack… I give up. Guess I'll leave it to the pros.

#tombrady suspended the first 4 games of the season. That's a punishment? Sounds like your boss telling you that you can come in at noon.
— Karen Tumulty (@ktumulty) May 11, 2015
So Brady loses $2M? Big deal. That's 2 extra photo shoots for @giseleofficial. #howtheballbounces

Is there a gofundme page for Tom Brady yet?

No surprise here; Brady’s agent says he will appeal.
Brady attorney Don Yee announces that Brady will appeal the 4-game suspension.
— Jason Cole (@JasonCole62) May 12, 2015
Brady agent Don Yee: We will appeal. If hearing officer is neutral, Wells Report "will be exposed a incredibly frail exercise"
