New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is facing suspension by the National Football League as punishment for his role in the ‘DeflateGate’ scandal, according to media reports.

On Friday, the New York Daily News reported that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell plans to announce Brady’s penalty this coming week. Sources told the paper that Goodell was left with little choice following the NFL’s investigation of allegations that Patriots staffers deliberately deflated game balls to below league-mandated minimums to suit Brady’s preferences.

This past week saw the release of the Wells Report, which concluded that it was “more probable than not that New England Patriots personnel participated in violations of the Playing Rules and were involved in a deliberate effort to circumvent the rules.”

Despite Brady’s refusal to provide investigator Ted Wells with his emails, texts or phone records, Wells concluded that Brady was “generally aware” of the actions of the two staffers and that Brady’s protestations to the contrary were “implausible.”
