The NFL has successfully kept the deflategate story alive into 2016.  The court ruled against expediting the NFL's appeal.

That means that Tom Brady will be guaranteed to play the entire season without being suspended.  It also means that the appeal won't be heard until February 1st 2016, the week of the Super Bowl, via ESPN:

The decision, filed Tuesday, ordered the NFL to file its opening brief by Oct. 26. Brady's attorneys and the NFLPA need to answer by Dec. 7. The NFL, which gets the last word in its appeal, has until Dec. 21 to reply.

The appeal then will be heard as early as the week of Feb. 1, 2016.

Congratulations NFL, the biggest story will be hitting the same week as the league's biggest game.  Way to go.

All for nothing.  What a waste of time and money.
