Carl Stevens (of course) does the honors.
Tom Brady
Associated Press reports a federal appeals court won't lift its earlier ruling letting the NFL suspend Tom Brady for four games.
Lambert's on Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester makes it pretty clear that Goodell better not show his face there, as Joel Pettigrew shows us.
The Washington Post reports the court overturned a lower court's ruling un-instating the penalty.
Mark Leonard spotted this guy on Rte. 1 today: Stephen Libman of Alliance Glass and Sign in Dorchester.
Perhaps he was on his way to or from the Fleming Printing Company in Porter Square (which Claire Blechman photographed today):
The following is a statement issued by Mayor Walsh this afternoon:
Today is a great day in New England and Patriots fans across the country are celebrating. Now, let's get back to football - I am looking forward to a great season and cheering on the Patriots one game at a time.
I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Looks pretty legit to me. pic.twitter.com/vjXUZMyDu0

Looks like the courtroom artist who sketched Tom Brady in federal court today was not a graduate of the school that produced those. Read more.

Patricia Shong, who died Monday, seems like she was a very nice lady: Devoted wife and mother, loyal worker. And a true Patriots fan:
Patricia enjoyed scrapbooking, cross stitching, pixel art, knitting, and crocheting. She relished weekly card night with the ladies. Patricia was known for being an avid reader which all who knew her can attest to based on her mini home library. She especially loved spending time with her family. She would also like us to set the record straight for her: Brady is innocent!!
The marketplace, however, may have a different verdict: Read more.
Lambert's on Rte. 1 in Westwood makes its feelings on Deflategate clear.

UPDATE: Barstool's David Portnoy and pals got arrested after handcuffing themselves together in the lobby.
Oh, those wacky Barstool folks, now down in New York for the day. They're all probably way too young to remember the time Dave Maynard led a troop of Minutemen down to New York to protest parking tickets people in Massachusetts started getting even if they had never visited that city.
Brady gets four-game suspension - twice as long as the one initially given Ray Rice.
Sports Illustrated reports an NFL lawyer concluded "it is more probable than not" that Brady knew his balls were not up to snuff during that game.
The Smoking Gun introduces us to Victor Thompson, who had a series of mug shots taken when he was arrested on a drug charge last month, which is how we know his entire head is tattooed to look like a replica of Brady's Patriots helmet:
He added the name of the helmet maker (“Riddell”) on his forehead, as well as an American flag and an NFL logo.
Thompson even included the small green dot indicating that a helmet is equipped with an electronic device allowing its wearer to receive plays from the sideline.
