Brady Injured?



This is in today's New York Post. As you can see by the coverof the tabloid paper, the New York media isn't wasting time on hyping the Super Bowl up. Do you think the Green Bay papers would come up with this stuff?

A day after the Pats' win over the San Diego Chargers propelled them to the Super Bowl against the Giants, Brady sported an orthopedic, open-foot brace on his right leg as he struggled with luggage and the box of white flowers.

Brady was later spotted wearing the boot and hobbling out of the East Village nightspot Butter, with Gisele, early this morning.

The booty - known as a cam walker - is a good sign for the Big Blue faithful, according to Hospital for Special Surgery foot and ankle expert Dr. Rock Positano.

"When they put you in a cam walker, that usually means you're hurting," Positano told The Post, after viewing stills and video of the gimpy quarterback. "He's sustained some kind of trauma that requires immobilization. This is not just a simple strain or a sprain."

Positano was betting that Brady had suffered trauma to his metatarsals - bones toward the front of the foot - or the Achilles' tendon, located near the heel.

"Achilles' injuries are very difficult to treat," he said. "You don't come back from an Achilles' injury in a week. The fact that he's in a cam walker should make Giants fans very optimistic, and should certainly make Michael Strahan, or any defenseman who sees that, salivate."


Dr. Rock Positano???? Is this a real doctor? After doing some research, I found out that he actually is a real life doctor. Anyway, I'm glad he cleared up that the injury is in either the front or the back of the foot. That about covers it huh?


And for those of you freaking out, or Giant fans that are just way too giddy about this, don't pay much mind to it. If it were something serious Brady wouldn't have been in Butter till the "early morning."

Football is a tough sport people, and when you play a physical game like Sunday, you are bound to get nicked up a bit. Brady has two weeks to recover, and we have to two weeks of NYC tabloid journalism at it's best to look forward to until they get bcak to killing Isiah on a daily basis.
