Because when
Tom Brady [stats] 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 [team stats] 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!
