WEEI’s Ron Borges is reporting that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady suffered a torn ACL today, (http://bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/patriots/www.weei.com)citing an NFL source close to the situation. If true, Brady is likely done for the season.

Giselled!!!!

i had a feeling that was what I saw. this is not good.

I wonder if Giselle will ditch him now that he's damaged. That woman is bad luck for her men
Maybe Brig will take him back

Frig Brig. Stay with the foreign hotty!!!!!

Time to start drinking again!:cheers::cheers2::gu::gu:

thankfully the red sox will be having a long post season again.

Time to start drinking again!:cheers::cheers2::gu::gu:

you ain't kidding larry
I'll need to be medicated to get thru the jets game next week :(:(:(
if I wasn't driving home from the game, I would have partaken in quite a few today at the game.

This is soooo not good

I hope it's not true

This is not a good injury for a QB.....at least it was his front leg and not the leg he throws from! He is gonna be down for quite awhile! Can you say Vinny Testarverde?

I'll have to put a call in to Bill

I'll have to put a call in to Bill

You do that - I'll call Giselle

hey guys!!

the giants are looking for a few good fans!!! :biglaugh:

:rotf3:

:lama:

How many times you see someone not go thru training camp and get hurt the first game of the season..
I here Chris Simms is gonna get a workout..
he ain't no Bret Favre.:doh:But He's not bad..

all over Americas fantasy league members are crying...No Brady...no big year for Moss. Ouch!!

As a fan of the game, I hope this isn't true. Brady is a tough guy, he'll be back out there if it is possible.

We might not be that bad, Cassell looked okay, and with that offensive line and such talented receivers were still gonna be a tough team, and once the kid gets a few more games under his belt I think he'll get a lot better, remember, Brady was a nobody before he got his shot, and if for some reason Cassell can't handle it, there's only one name I can think of, Drew Bledsoe, you heard it hear first!!!

In Bill we trust jinxed him. He was not listed on the injury report this week. Good to go. First time in like 58 straight weeks we was not on the list and look what happened.

Bill Jinxed him bigtime.

WRONG

the friggin talk shows jinxed him bigtime with all that talk in preseason like what if Brady goes down? cassell won't be able to get the job done, who they gonna get, how many games can they win without brady blah blah blah blah

they put the whammie on him :af::af::lossinit::lossinit:

Why, so they can replace the ones they got?

And if you believe that, I'll tell you that YOUR cheering helps them win :lm::faga:

not a pats fan, but never ever want to see anyone go down. Had to watch McNabb go down a few times. Always sucks@

I'm not willing to give up on Cassel (yet). Only time will tell though. For what its worth he might be the best back-up QB ever (behind Palmer and Leinhart at USC and behind Brady in NE). Hoping he has some talent that we didn't see in preseason. For a team that has been QB-driven for the past 8 yrs, the running game looked pretty decent yesterday. I think the secondary is definitely a concern. O'Neal looked pretty good, but Ellis Hobbs is a pretty awful cover man if you ask me. Good return guy though.

I was thinking the same exact thing; damn Felger!!!

I remember a few years ago when Drew Bledsoe got hurt, there were people ready to give up on the Pats. Then some unknown backup took over and did pretty well. Maybe the Pats will catch lightning in a bottle again and Cassell will do o.k. I'm certainly not giving up on the season if Brady's not coming back.

The real test for Cassell will be ateam witha legitamit defense not the Chiefs . I am not a Pat fan but as someone else said I do not want see Brady or any player suffer an injury like that. I was curious to see how they rebounded after their Super Bowl defeat.

If Trent Dilfer can win a superbowl...anybody can.

Goona be an interesting season to say the least

yup on the injured reserve and out for the season

GIZELLED !!!!!! SHE IS BAD KARMA. SEND HER BACK TO THE JUNGLE!!!

What won the Superbowl was the Ravens' defense ;)

If Trent Dilfer can win a superbowl...anybody can.

Exactly what i was gonna say, as long as Cassell doesn't make too many big mistakes then our offense should be fine, probably won't sweep the regular season, but that didn't get us anywhere last year anyway, I'm more concerned with our porous secondary, they did okay against the Chiefs young starter, but Damon Huard (former Patriot) gave them some trouble and almost tied the game at the end, can't blame them for losing Asante, but they should have signed Gay, not a great player but decent, and at least he knew our system, interested to see how we fare against Favre and the Jets next week, at least we've got a fairly weak schedule this year.

What won the Superbowl was the Ravens' defense ;)

Exactly, they were able to win the Superbowl even with a stiff like Dilfer at QB, and we can do it with Cassell. At least Rohan Davey isn't still our backup, now that guy STUNK!!!

if Eli can win a superbowl ;) then maybe Cassel throwing to Moss can win us another :D


Strike King :bgi: Great point :btu:

Because when Tom Brady (http://www.bostonherald.com/search/?searchSite=true&keyword=Tom+Brady&mode=score&sorting=pubdate) [stats (http://scores.heraldinteractive.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=bostonherald&page=nfl/teams/077/playeraaa.aspx?id=678,team=077)] went down in the first quarter of the first game, our first thoughts were NOT about whether or not Chiefs strong safety Bernard Pollard had taken a cheap shot at the QB/QT’s knee. Nooooo . . . .
One word leaped immediately to mind: Jinxele!

Because, let’s face it, Brady’s had an incredible run of bad luck since taking up with supermodel Gisele Bundchen!


Shall we recap? Shortly after No. 12 dumped Bridget Moynahan and started seeing the Brazilian bombshell, the Patriots (http://patriots.bostonherald.com/patriots.bg) [team stats (http://scores.heraldinteractive.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=bostonherald&page=nfl/teams/077/team.aspx?id=077)] lost a devastating AFC Championship game to the hated Indianapolis Colts, who went on to win Super Bowl XLI.
A month later, Moynahan announced that she was pregnant and that Brady was the father. A tsunami of bad press followed and the man previously known as Tom Terrific became - in the eyes of many former fans - a deadbeat dad.


Brady ignored the backlash, established what seems to be a nice bond with his baby son, Jack, and was cruising to a perfect season. Unfortunately, a few days before Super Bowl XLII, The Franchise was photographed hobbling into Gi’s New York apartment with a cast on his foot. Then he went to Arizona and, well, why rehash that horror show???


Which brings us to this past off-season. Brady went on his usual tour of the world with Gisele, only this time, he neglected to return to Foxboro for the offseason conditioning program.
Brady, who had always won the front-row parking spot for his obessive training regime, didn’t hit the Gillette gym for the first time in his career. And here is where it must be pointed out that the key to avoiding ACL injuries is - you guessed it - working out!
“Athletes can reduce their risk of ACL injuries by performing training drills that require balance, power and agility,” says sportsmedicine.com. “Adding plyometric exercises, such as jumping, and balance drills helps improve neuromuscular conditioning and muscular reactions and ultimately shows a decrease in the risk of ACL injury.”
But instead of pumping iron in Foxboro, Brady went surfing with Gisele and suffered another mysterious injury. This time to his foot. Not only did he miss the preseason workouts, he also missed the entire preseason!
OK maybe Gisele can’t take all the blame for Brady’s run of bad luck - but wethinks it’s fair to say that Tom hasn’t exactly made football his No. 1 priority since hooking up with the glamazon GF!


SEND HER PACKIN

Anyone heard where the ageless Doug Flutie is? Pats are looking for you.

DZ

Cassel has not started a game since high school. Nonetheless, I will not write him off. The run game looked good. Can't wait till next week. It will be a true test for Belicheck now.
