On Tuesday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell upheld New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension for his alleged role in the deflate-gate scandal. Shortly after, Brady took to Facebook to defiantly defend his innocence.

"I am very disappointed by the NFL's decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me. I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either," Brady wrote.

Brady added that despite submitting to hours of testimony, he's disappointed that his suspension was upheld based on the standard that it was "probable" that he was "generally aware" of misconduct.

"I also disagree with yesterdays narrative surrounding my cellphone. I replaced my broken Samsung phone with a new iPhone 6 AFTER my attorneys made it clear to the NFL that my actual phone device would not be subjected to investigation under ANY circumstances."

Patriots owner Robert Kraft also weighed in on the matter saying, "I will never understand why an initial erroneous report regarding the psi level of footballs was leaked by a source from the NFL a few days after the AFC championship game [and] was never corrected by those who had the correct information.

"Yesterday's decision by Commissioner Goodell was released in a similar manner under an erroneous headline that read, "Tom Brady destroyed his cellphone.' This headline was designed to capture headlines across the country and obscure [the fact the NFL still has no hard] evidence regarding the tampering of air pressure in footballs."

The league and the its Players Association has since filed respective lawsuits against each other, with the NFL filing a four-page lawsuit on Tuesday, and the NFLPA filing a much longer lawsuit in Minnesota.

As noted by NBCSPorts.com, the NFLPA's 54-page petition request that the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota vacate the arbitration award in the Tom Brady case, arguing the four-game suspension "defies" the Court's decision in the recent Adrian Peterson case.
