While the NFL may have won one legal battle, it may prove catastrophic in the DeflateGate war.
A lawsuit filed by New England Patriots fans against the NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft over DeflateGate has been thrown out by a U.S. District Court judge.
Most Patriots fans want DeflateGate to simply go away. Others are now taking their own fight to federal court.

New York Law School professor Robert Blecker has taken it upon himself to inform the judges of alleged intentional false statements made by NFL attorney Paul Clement.
Kraft wrote a letter to the commissioner in which he made a case for the NFL to return the Patriots' first-round pick. Kraft told the media of his letter while speaking at the NFL owners' meetings on Monday.

What's next for DeflateGate? Sports attorney Daniel Wallach joined Zolak & Bertrand on Friday to discuss!
It did not seem like the three judges were even aware that the NFL's lawyer was lying to their faces on Thursday in New York.
If Brady's two days before Judge Berman went down as victories, the showing in Thursday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit should go down as a loss.
As far as what to expect, it's hard to say exactly, but here's my best guess.
Sports attorney Daniel Wallach joined 98.5 The Sports Hub's Zolak & Bertrand on Friday to discuss next week's DeflateGate appeal, and what the panel of judges hearing the appeal means for Tom Brady and Roger Goodell.
