Tom Brady adds Supreme Court veteran to 'Deflategate' team
Lawyers representing New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady have added a star attorney with extensive Supreme Court experience to the legal team fighting his punishment for the “Deflategate” scandal.
The addition of Ted Olson, who was President George W. Bush’s Supreme Court lawyer for three years, indicates Brady and his team may be girding for a battle at the nation’s highest court. The legal time has also filed an application to extend the time frame to appeal the latest decision in the case.
The NFL Players Association revealed that it had retained Olson Friday in a notice with the federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City.
