Mayor Walsh celebrates Deflategate ruling: ‘Let’s get to football!’
Like the rest of New England, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is pumped that Tom Brady’s Deflategate suspension by the NFL was overturned Thursday.
Within minutes of Judge Richard Berman’s ruling, the Boston mayor celebrated on his Twitter and Facebook accounts, signed with his personal initials.

The mayor’s office also released a statement on the victorious appeal by the New England Patriots quarterback.
“Today is a great day in New England and Patriots fans across the country are celebrating,’’ Walsh said. “Now, let’s get back to football – I am looking forward to a great season and cheering on the Patriots one game at a time.’’
Earlier this summer, the mayor, who is a Patriots season ticker holder, said he would “always believe’’ in the team and Tom Brady.
After the Patriots won the Super Bowl in February, Walsh literally plowed forward to clear a route for the team’s victory parade — despite more than 40 inches of snow that was dumped on the city.
After Thursday’s decision — for Patriots fans, at least — the road ahead just got a lot brighter.
