Transcript reveals Brady's appeal

Details of how Tom Brady pressed his "Deflategate" suspension appeal to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell were made public on Tuesday when the NFL Players Association released a hearing transcript.

The New England Patriots star quarterback denied any wrong-doing and explained destroying his cell phone was something he did routinely to avoid personal details becoming public.

The NFL last month penalized Brady for ordering the destruction of the phone at the center of the scandal, citing it as a key reason for dismissing his appeal against a four-match suspension.
