New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was served a 4-game suspension for his involvement in the notorious 2015 scandal "Deflate Gate," but the star player has since filed an appeal to have it reduced. The NFL's commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to respond to the appeal, which some reports have said is leading Brady to consider legal action. Apparently, if his suspension isn't reduced, Tom Brady will sue the league. Find out more on this news below.

This is all speculation right now, but some top football and sports reporters are claiming Brady is looking to sue the NFL if he doesn't get his way.
According to ABC and ESPN analyst Ryan Smith, Brady's legal team will sue if he is suspended from any games, meaning he wants his name wiped from the scourge that is "Deflate Gate." Check out Smith's Twitter post announcing this news right here:

When a fan asked if he thinks Brady would fight a one-game suspension, Smith replied, "yes." Meanwhile, NFL Network's Albert Breer revealed that Brady could bring his court case to Minnesota, which, as UPROXX points out, is where player-friendly judge David Doty resides. It could also stay in Massachusetts. Check out this Twitter post right here:
