Patriots | Tom Brady’s appeal chances not good

New England Patriots QB Tom Brady’s chances of winning an appeal after his four-game suspension was reinstated are not good, according to director of Tulane Sports Law Program Gabe Feldman. ‘But Tom Brady’s next step is to make an en banc appeal to ask the entire second circuit to hear that — those are very rarely granted. And even more rare is the Supreme Court to hear this case. So Tom Brady is almost out of chances. I think any chance he has left is very slim,’ Feldman said.

Ravens | Trent Richardson sheds weight
