<p>Are any of you crying the blues? </p>
<p>Will the Patriots make it to the Superbowel this year?</p>
<p>[Tom</a> Brady out for season](<a href=“http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D932NMS82&show_article=1]Tom”>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D932NMS82&show_article=1)</p>
<p>I never want anyone to get hurt, but I’m not crying. He’s rich, talented, fathered a supermodel’s baby. I mean, c’mon! How much can one guy have?</p>
<p>I don’t know enough about the Pats to comment on their chances. Who’s the backup QB?</p>
<p>Go 'Boys!</p>
<p>I feel for the guy but that’s always the possibility in any sport.</p>
<p>He will be the highest paid QB on the disabled list. Hopefully it won’t be a career-ending injury.</p>
<p>“BOYS”!!! now THEM are fightin’ words…teeheehee 
Next Monday!!</p>
<p>ps. he fathered an actress’ baby…the supermodel isnt/wasnt pregnant…yet. ;)</p>
<p>I thought it was Giselle Bundchen.</p>
<p>Finally, something important to research. :D</p>
<p>My bad. From wikipedia:</p>
<p>Brady dated actress Bridget Moynahan from 2004 until late 2006.[27] On February 18, 2007, Moynahan confirmed to People magazine that she was more than three months pregnant with her and Brady’s child.[27][28] Brady and Moynahan ended their relationship sometime in early December 2006, around the time Moynahan became pregnant.[29] Brady was present when the baby, John Edward Thomas Moynahan,[30] was born on August 22, 2007 at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica.[31] The baby has Brady’s first and middle names as middle names, though in reverse order (Moynahan’s father’s first name is Edward, however). Since late 2006, Tom Brady has been dating Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen.[32]</p>
<p>Injuries are part of the game, but this is still very bad news. The Patriots without Brady are not as attractive and it would have been interesting to see how the team rebounded from last year fluke at the Super Bowl. </p>
<p>This said, I’d hate to see Vince Young receiving the same bad news … even more. I still hope that someday he will duplicate his performance against USC in the NFL and show he is one of the super stars.</p>
<p>Let the speeddialing commence. Chicago has a recently displaced QB and there are others keeping their cell phones charged as we write this. Farve must have sent Tom a huge bouquet of roses is my thought. Talk about opening the door of opportunity. This drama will play out for a week to see how Farve does against the Pats. Can the 15th come soon enough?</p>
<p>It’s bad, but as a Colts fan, I am very happy. Of course, if they keep playing like they played against the Bears last night, there’s not much good coming their way.</p>
<p>S & D went to Opening Day yesterday at Gillette Stadium. This was a last minute decision. They were able to get cheap tickets from stubhub because they were predicting a really bad storm. :(</p>
<p>Before the game, D bought a Tom Brady T-shirt (with her own hard earned money…). They got to see Brady play some. She had never been to a Patriot’s game before. Her brother is a true Patriot’s fan. (of course)</p>
<p>Can she still wear the Brady shirt? (just kidding) :(</p>
<p>Football, now here’s a topic that can bring all of us together, right?? </p>
<p>OK, back up is Matt Cassel, he did fine yesterday and Coach B denied they are working out any other QB’s.</p>
<p>Youdon’tsay- we have bonded…forever. GO 'BOYS!!! BEAT 'EM ALL!!! Romo needs to concentrate on football and we’ll have an awesome season run.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Superbowel? Is that a new game? Held near a bathroom or something?</p>
<p>He looked good yesterday, as did Barber, Witten, TO. My boys were mad because I kept asking when Barber got so good. He wasn’t this good last year was he? Keep meaning to look up those stats.</p>
<p>Has anyone ever done a cc fantasy football league?</p>
<p>LMAO, marite. I missed that. With Brady out, maybe it’s accurate.</p>
<p>This is very bad news. I have an extremely complex algorithm for determining which teams (other than the Giants, of course) that I root for. It is almost entirely determined by quantity, quality and marquee nature (i.e, offensive linemen < defensive linemen < linebackers/secondary < wide recievers/RB < QB) of former Michigan players on the team. Using this algorithm, with Tom Brady, the Patriots almost achieved the same status of the NY Giants … in fact the Super Bowl was one of extreme conflicts for me. Now, with Brady out, the Pats fall to just another NFL team in my rooting hierarchy.</p>
<p>Yes, he was good last season. Barber had nearly 1k yards on 204 carries rushing and 282 yds. on 44 receptions. He’s the go-to-guy on short yardage because he’s fast and strong and can punch through the line. </p>
<p>Here’s your stats, I’ve got it bookmarked ;)</p>

<p>How dare you question my speling! I am the bst speler in the wuld and hav one mannie awrds. :)</p>
<p>Boy - we had more water cooler discussion about this today than during either political convention (which shows you the types I work with). The two terms I overheard most were “karma” and “schadenfreude”…I don’t think there were any Patriots fans on the floor.</p>
<p>I’ve never been a Cassel-hater, so I’m hoping he’ll rise to the challenge. The Patriots have never been a one-man team, and there are lots of strong players still on the field. We’ll see what happens. I will definitely miss watching Brady play. :(</p>
<p>Once upon a time, Brady was the backup stepping in for Drew Bledsoe when he got hurt (who never started for the Pats again). On the other hand, I don’t know that anybody besides his mother thought Brady would be one of the great quarterbacks in history before he got that chance. Quarterback is such a weird position! You have can’t-miss players who miss all the time, backups who look like Superman for a game or two and then fade back into obscurity, and people of limited physical talent who somehow just have the magic. Of course, even if you have the magic, you generally need a good offensive line, some decent receivers, and a good running back. Defense helps a lot, too – it’s easier to do fourth quarter drives to win games if you are less than a touchdown behind, and even easier if you are ahead.</p>
<p>Its ok to hate Belichick - he even weirds us fans out, and he blew the play calling in the Superbowl (not enough passes to Welker in the flat). But Brady is the ultimate stud. His coolness under pressure was, to use the word I now find chilling, game-changing.</p>
<p>Yep, Brady’s injury is a definite downer for us, esp. H and D3(the sports fan among my daughters). It’s not easy being Pats fans living right in the heart of Eagles country.;)</p>
