Tom Brady had his four-game ban for "deflate-gate" overturned by a judge, but that looks like it's not the final chapter in this long-running saga.

The New England Patriots' quarter-back had been suspended for his alleged role in the deflating of balls in the AFC Championship win over the Indianapolis Colts in January.

As it stands, Brady is free to play in the Patriot's season-opening game away to Pittsburgh next week, after the NFL had initially banned him on the back of an investigation stating that they believed, "Brady was aware of, and took steps to support‎, the actions of other team employees to deflate game footballs below the levels called for by the NFL’s Official Playing Rules."
