We have just two words for you: GOODBYE, DEFLATEGATE.

We complained about having to write about the never-ending Deflategate saga so often over the last eight months yesterday. And now, a federal judge has lifted the four-game suspension that the NFL handed to Tom Brady for his role in the scandal. The Associated Press sent this out a short time ago:

BREAKING: Tom Brady beats NFL in 'Deflategate' court case, judge nullifies league's 4-game suspension.

— The Associated Press (@AP) September 3, 2015

So Deflategate should be dead—for now—unless the NFL decides to appeal the judge's ruling. We'll be sure to provide you with more details as they become available.
