Patriots fans react on Twitter to Tom Brady’s suspension
And others are excited for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Monday’s news of the NFL’s reinstatement of Tom Brady’s four-game “Deflategate” suspension has Patriots fans bummed out, to say the least. While it’s still uncertain as to whether or not the suspension will stick this time, many took to Twitter to share their feelings of displeasure, while others saw a reason for optimism: Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Many are disappointed with the ruling itself:
