Patrick Peterson's Shot At Tom Brady Doesn't Look So Great Following Corner's PED Suspension
BOSTON (CBS) -- Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson took a jab at Tom Brady during the Deflategate ordeal. He's likely regretting those four-year-old tweets -- among other things -- on Thursday.
That's because the the eight-time Pro Bowler was suspended for six games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Peterson took a shot at the Patriots quarterback in 2015 during the whole Deflategate mess, saying the NFL probably wouldn't do anything about the incident. After a long legal battle against the NFL, Brady served his four-game suspension to start the 2016 season.
I wonder what the @nfl is going to do about this new incident. Probably nothing!!!!

Peterson even doubled down by saying Brady "disrespected" the league.
@KdGoat he disrespected the game I said nothing wrong.

And after the heavy punishment was handed out to Brady, Peterson applauded the league.
Well done @NFL ..........#DeflateGate

Well that's a shame.
Now Peterson will have to serve his own suspension for "disrespecting" the league, leaving the Cardinals without one of their best defensive players six games.
