Tom Brady releases statement on Facebook: 'I am sorry our league had to endure this'

Just one day after federal judge Richard Berman nullified New England Patriots' Tom Brady's four-game suspension, the quarterback is finally speaking out.

Late Friday night, Brady released the following statement via his Facebook page:

"The regular season starts tomorrow morning and I can't wait to fully commit my energy and emotion to focus on the challenges of the 2015 NFL season. I want to thank my family, my friends, all of the fans, past and current players and my teammates for the support they have given me throughout this challenging experience.

"I also want to thank Judge Berman and his staff for their efforts to resolve this matter over the past five weeks. I am very grateful. My thanks also to the union's legal team who has fought so hard right along with me.

And still the haters can't explain the fact that only one ball was deflated past what could not be accounted for by weather conditions...and still accept the original NFL and ESPN lies, refuted in the Wells report, the one ball...that the Colts held onto for several minutes...keep foaming at the mouth if it makes you feel better that you're so effing wrong.

and that someone intentionally tried to make it look like Brady did it. Even if you believe the entire wells report, at best, the NFL is speculating that someone did something illegal and speculating that Brady might have been aware of it. It's hard to call that a "frame".

. . .in the court of public opinion, i think "framed" might apply. Look at the posts on this thread.
Proof doesn't matter.
