The Shoddy NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement Claims Its Latest Victim: Adrian Peterson
Last month, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals denied Tom Brady’s request for a rehearing of his four-game suspension for allegedly deflating footballs during a 2015 playoff game.

It might not seem like it, but I do try to stay away from politics. However, when covering the intersection of sports, gambling, and the law, it is nearly impossible to do so.
