The Facts: No settlement was reached in talks between the NFL and lawyers for Brady at a New York Federal court horse Monday morning.
Diehards Line:
Judge Richard Berman engaged the two sides in settlement talks for weeks, but he quickly announced Monday that those talks are over. Berman announced publicly that no decision in the case will come Monday, but it could come as early as Tuesday or Wednesday. The public portion of the case is now closed. The public portion of the hearing lasted only four minutes on Monday before Berman sent everyone home for the day. Brady was suspended four games on May 11 after a report by Ted Wells, an investigator contracted by the league, asserted Brady's connection to the deflation of footballs used in the AFC Championship Game. Goodell upheld the suspension on July 28. Stay tuned. We'll soon know when and/or if Brady will have to serve it.
