Stupid rep system... it needs some sort of reset timer.

The New England Patriots recently requested the reinstatement of the two staffers that were suspended in the wake of the team's deflated ball scandal following last season's AFC Championship. On Wednesday, the team got the news they were looking for.
Every game, all season

"Last week, the New England Patriots requested the reinstatement of both John Jastremski and Jim McNally. The Patriots have satisfied the league's requirements for reinstatement and the league has granted permission for the employees to return," the team said in a statement.

The NFL is appealing the nullification of Tom Brady's four game suspension, so we're not through with this story yet. But it appears that Jastremski and McNally's part of the story is now over. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Troy Vincent, NFL Executive VP of Football Operations, formally requested to meet with Jastremski and McNally before reinstating them.

Rapoport reported Wednesday that Jastremski is now prohibited from handling footballs and McNally is barred from being a locker room attendant for officials or handling equipment.

Both men were cited in the Wells Report. Their texts and appearance on surveillance video were prominent in the Wells Report's findings.

I refuse to believe there is a person from Boston who can but doesn't spell his name Yastrzemski.

Well, it's a little late, but it appears a judge with some sense actually found his way onto the scene...

The U.S. Court of Appeals handed down a decision on Monday morning that will reinstate the four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his connection to deflated footballs used in the AFC Championship Game back in Jan. 2015.

Brady's suspension was nullified by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman back in September, just a week before the Patriots' first game of the 2015 regular season.

In a 33-page decision, the second circuit court's decision can be boiled down to the following statement:

"We hold that the commissioner properly exercised his broad discretion under the collective bargaining agreement and that his procedural rulings were properly grounded in that agreement and did not deprive Brady of fundamental fairness. Accordingly, we reverse the judgement of the district court and remand with instructions to confirm the award."

I thought for sure this would be a Jesse Epstein thread.
