Update: Brady’s Appeal Hearing Ends After Ten Hours

Update:  Tom Brady's appeal of his four-game suspension lasted more than 10 hours Tuesday, ending in the early evening.
The sight of Commissioner Roger Goodell leaving the league offices after he heard Brady and representatives from the players' union during the lengthy meeting, confirmed its conclusion.

No details were immediately available.

Brady arrived at the NFL's Park Avenue offices Tuesday morning, as did attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who is leading Brady's defense.

The hearing was expected to adjourn in late afternoon, but carried well beyond that.  (Associated Press)

Earlier story:

It appears the appeal of Tom Brady's "Deflategate" suspension will last just one day.

ESPN reports the Patriots quarterback and his team were given four hours to present their case to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell today and the proceedings will not extend into Thursday. Brady was to have testified under oath, with the NFL following with about two hours of its own testimony.

There's no word on when the Commissioner will issue a decision.

The four-time Super Bowl champion was suspended four games for his role in the use of underinflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game in January.

An independent investigation determined it was more probable than not that Brady was at least generally aware of the activity surrounding the footballs in question.

The Patriots were also fined one-million-dollars and docked two draft picks.
