Famed NFL player Tom Brady shared some thoughts about the 'Deflategate' scandal and the upcoming football season on Facebook Friday night.

The New England Patriots quarterback broke his silence by speaking out about the scandal and the impact that it had on him, fans and the game he loves to play.

Earlier this week, his four game suspension was overturned, allowing him to play with the Patriots when they have their season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 10.

On his Facebook page, Brady wrote that he can't wait to fully commit his 'energy and emotion to focus on the challenges' of the season.

The 38-year-old athlete thanked his family, friends, fans and teammates for their support 'throughout this challenging experience.'

'While I am pleased to be eligible to play, I am sorry our league had to endure this,' the four-time Super Bowl champion wrote.

'I don’t think it has been good for our sport - to a large degree, we have all lost.

'I am also sorry to anyone whose feelings I may have hurt as I have tried to work to resolve this situation.

'I love the NFL. It is a privilege to be a member of the NFL community and I will always try to do my best in representing my team and the league in a way that would make all members of this community proud.'

Brady added that he looks forward to the competition on the playing field this season and that he hopes the attention of NFL fans 'can return to where it belongs - on the many great players and coaches who work so hard every week, and sacrifice so much, to make this game great.'
