On Tuesday the NFLPA filed its brief in the Tom Brady case and, according to court documents obtained by CBSSports.com, it includes a full 457-page transcript of the Brady appeal hearing between the Patriots quarterback and Roger Goodell. 

The NFL and NFLPA previously agreed to a confidentiality agreement. However, Judge Richard Berman, in requesting 15-page reply briefs from each side, said he has "always had considerable difficulty approving any sealed documents" due to the "keen public interest in these matters and the public's right to know."

The biggest issue for the public in the entire Deflategate saga? The evidence against Brady used by the league to uphold a four-game suspension. A lot of that is now in the public thanks to the filing of the entire appeal testimony in this case.

It includes the following: 

• Brady says he never previously knew the name of Jim McNally, the alleged 'Deflator'

• He also says he wasn't concerned that McNally referred to himself as the 'Deflator' in texts

• Brady's team argued that Brett Favre not turning over his phone to the NFL created a precedent for fines, but not a suspension

•Brady says was never told by investigator Ted Wells that he could be disciplined for not turning over texts or emails

• And, Wells himself said the same: "I did not tell Mr. Brady at any time that he would be subject to punishment for not turning over the documents. I did not say anything like that."

• Wells did say, however, that Brady not turning over his phone made him question the QB's credibility

Wells also explains how he came to his conclusion that Brady 'more probably than not' knew of football tampering

• Troy Vincent acknowledges players do not receive the Game Day Operations Manual (and was never given a Manual as a player) 

• Brady told Goodell, however, that the Pats had given refs a copy of the PSI Rule in October

• Brady and commissioner Roger Goodell also discuss inflation ranges and the process that goes into preparing game balls. 

The following 172-page document is from the appeal hearing testimony:
