FOXBORO (CBS) – It feels like it's gone on forever but on Saturday it finally happened – Tom Brady's DeflateGate suspension.

The New England Patriots star quarterback is officially suspended for four games in connection with the deflated football controversy, after doing everything short of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.

WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Karyn Regal found that fans in Foxboro are not ready to accept that reality, even if Brady is.

"They didn't have sufficient evidence to find him guilty," one woman said. "You can't find a man guilty because he might have known that this might have happened. That's baloney!"

"I love him," another fan added. "He's the best. He really is."

Fans said they're prepared to stand with Brady no matter what, and some are even turning to a higher power in solidarity.

"Maybe just silent prayer," one Patriots die-hard said.

A couple fans suggested that Brady reconsider that new haircut during the suspension.
