10:15 a.m.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell have arrived at a courthouse in Manhattan for a hearing in their ongoing dispute over underinflated footballs.

Goodell was greeted Wednesday by a smattering of boos as he walked in. Four minutes later, Brady arrived flanked by four security guards. Both men went through a security sweep like everyone else going to court.

Dozens of fans and journalists waited for two of the NFL’s most famous faces at the front entrance of the courthouse, including some wearing deflated football hats they were hoping to sell.
