After months of back and forth over who deflated balls, if they did it on purpose, who knew about it, and then taking it to court, a final decision was made today. US District Judge Richard Berman, who presided over Tom Brady’s appeal of the NFL’s suspension, ruled that the four-game punishment handed down by Roger Goodell is to be tossed out.

As of now, Brady is set to start week 1.

UPDATE: ABC News has some more language from the decision:

Federal judge Richard Berman said he vacated Goodell’s decision, in part, because it was “premised upon several significant legal deficiencies, including (A) inadequate notice to Brady of both his potential discipline (four-game suspension) and his alleged misconduct; (B) denial of the opportunity for Brady to examine one of two lead investigators, namely NFL Executive Vice President and General Counsel Jeff Pash; and (C) denial of equal access to investigative files, including witness interview notes.”
