NFL Commissioner Upholds Brady's Deflate-Gate Suspension

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday upheld the four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in Deflate-Gate — and he alleged that Brady had his phone destroyed just before he met with investigators.
"Brady's deliberate destruction of potentially relevant evidence went beyond a mere failure to cooperate in the investigation and supported a finding that he had sought to hide evidence of his own participation in the underlying scheme to alter the footballs," the NFL said in announcing the ruling.
The commissioner ruled that Brady "engaged in conduct detrimental to the integrity of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football," Goodell wrote.
