This Dunkin’ Donuts manager wants Judge Berman to have free coffee for life
[fragment number=0]
On Thursday morning, U.S. District Court judge Richard Berman vacated Tom Brady’s four-game Deflategate suspension. A half hour later, the sign outside a Dunkin’ Donuts in Lewiston, Maine, read, “Judge Richard Berman gets free coffee for life.’’
“I had overheard someone saying, ‘I wish we could buy that guy a beer,’ and I said, ‘I’ll do one better. I’ll get him a coffee,’’’ Mike Connor, the store’s manager, told Boston.com.
Berman overturned Brady’s suspension in a 40-page decision, stating that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had violated the league’s collective bargaining agreement.
It’s an understatement to say Connor is happy about the ruling. If Judge Berman were to actually walk through the doors of his Dunkin’ Donuts, would he keep his promise?
“I would buy him a coffee,’’ he said. “Absolutely.’’
