Randy Moss backs New England Patriots star Tom Brady over 'Deflategate' case
Friday 21 August 2015 11:57, UK
Former New England Patriots star Randy Moss has backed quarterback Tom Brady to overturn his four-game suspension in the "Deflategate" case.
US District Judge Richard M Berman has targeted September 4 as the latest date for a resolution, six days before Brady's Patriots open the season at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Brady is facing a four-game ban after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell ruled that he conspired with two Patriots equipment employees to deflate balls prior to the start of January's AFC championship game - New England defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 and went on to win the Super Bowl.
And although former Patriots receiver Moss believes the case is affecting him and everybody in the side, he is backing Brady to stay positive.
"I'm not going to sit it and tell you that it doesn't affects him," said Moss. "Not only does it affect him, it affects everybody in the circle. It's just something as a professional you just have to live with and just move on from it.
