are you shure its even brady

but I really wish he hadn't linked to the video, it's not good to encourage that sort of thing...

First of all, it's apparently an air cast, which is commonly used for all kinds of relatively minor injuries.

Secondly, even if it was something more serious, it wouldn't necessarily be cause for alarm. A good friend of mine used to wear a walking cast for a week or two every time he went home on vacation from college as a means of treating an uncomfortable but not debilitating or even limiting-in-any-way ligament injury in his ankle without having to resort to surgery.

Finally, do you really think Tom Brady, consummate professional that he is, would be out clubbing if he was seriously injured?

Air Casts are also used for sprains, even major ones these days. But....

Personally, since Brady said on EEI that unless he was on a stretcher he'd be playing, I'm going to take his word for it.

I'll start worrying if it's Sunday the third and he doesn't have a uniform on, and not a moment sooner... :)

an injury, how serious could it be? During the game, he did not appear to be favoring his right leg-his gait appeared normal, as far as I could tell. Karen G. on espn speculated, after reviewing game tape, that the injury may have resulted from a 4th qtr sack, but she applied the caveat that it was difficlt/impossible to discern a specific point of acute injury.
The real problem is that he had such a poor game. The concern is that if there was/is an injury that markedly affected his performance, will it linger and similarly affect his super bowl performance, esp. vs a team that has success getting after the qb?

is it takes a lot of the attention away from any of the other distractions that have been going on...
