NFL will not seek to put 'Deflategate' ruling on hold pending appeal

NEW YORK, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The National Football League will not seek to put on hold a judge's ruling that threw out Tom Brady's "Deflategate" suspension while it appeals the decision, a spokesman said on Thursday. The decision not to seek a stay while the appeal is pending ensures that the New England Patriots star quarterback will be allowed to play in the season opener next week.
