Deflategate was back in the news Monday, much to the delight of the New York City tabloids.
The reinstatement of Tom Brady’s four-game suspension landed the New England Patriots quarterback on the front page of Tuesday’s New York Post and the back page of the New York Daily News, both of which frequently have mocked him during the year-plus since the initial deflated-footballs story first broke.
The Post’s latest design focused on Brady’s recently restructured contract, which will end up saving the QB close to $2 million if he is forced to serve his suspension.
