Minutes after overturning Tom Bradys four-game suspension for the 2015-16 N.F.L. season, federal judge Richard M. Berman raised eyebrows by admitting that he had the Patriots quarterback on his fantasy team. Responding to reporters questions, Berman said that Bradys inclusion on his fantasy roster played no role whatsoever in his judicial decision. As a federal judge, I made this ruling based strictly on legal precedents and the merits of the case, Berman said. But, as a fantasy-team owner, sure, its going to be awesome to see Tom in there for all sixteen games. The judge said that he was especially looking forward to seeing how Brady takes advantage of what he called an amazing array of offensive weapons. Gronk is going to have a big year, and even if Julian Edelman isnt ready for Week One, I think Reggie Wayne is going to surprise a lot of people, Berman, who also has selected Wayne for his fantasy team, said. For his part, Brady minimized the role that Bermans fantasy team might have played in Thursdays legal victory. A wins a win, he said.
