Tom Brady Out for the Season

<p>Wow, CC, you ARE a fan!</p>

<p>When I heard the news on the radio, I pulled into the nearest parking lot and called S at college 5 hours away. He said, “Crap.” Later he changed his Facebook status to “RIP Patriots 2008 Season.”</p>

<p>I like to think that a weak schedule and Belichek brilliance will still get the Pats to the playoffs… maybe… meantime, Go Sox!?! Sigh</p>

<p>There are parallels to the Bledsoe/Brady situation, but Brady’s a lot better than Bledsoe was when he went down.</p>

<p>Very sad times here in MA. I was home watching the game on TV and saw it happen and immediately called my H who was in FL attending the Bar Mitzvah party of his cousin’s son (which, coincidentally, was being held in a HS Gymnasium and was all sports-themed). Lots of Pats fans were in attendance and I had to be the bearer of the bad news. I actually heard gasps in the background!! We are waiting to see what they do next as far as trying to bring someone in at QB, although Casell did an admirable job yesterday, but not sure if he is up to the task for the rest of the season.</p>

<p>Nate Burleson is out for the season, too.</p>

25

<p>JHS - I think Drew did start one game during the playoffs that year. It was against Pittsburgh and the Pats won (obviously, since they won the Super Bowl that year). I’m just not sure if Drew played the whole game or if he came in because Tom got hurt during play.
I am a very sad Pats fan right now, but will keep the faith and root on Casell.
This on top of losing Matty “Ice” Ryan at BC.<br>
I will be wringing my hands a lot this fall.</p>

26

<p>Just checked. Tom went down in the second quarter of the Pittsburgh game and Drew came in to replace him. Pats win and Drew leaves at the end of the season. JHS - I do agree with you though. Who would have thought that Tom would become such a superstar? Keep the faith! There is so much talent on that team. I love my Pats :-)</p>

<p>In Belichick We Trust</p>

28

<p>I guess now we find out if Bill’s really that brilliant, or if Tom’s just that good.</p>

<p>DH said the paper is now referring to the green team to the south of us as the NY Bretts.</p>

29

<p>sigh The sportscasters cursed him. I was watching the game and right before that play they’d been showing closeups of his lower legs and commenting on how he seemed ok and wasn’t favoring his injured ankle. They even commented that in NE his ankle was almost as famous as Curt Shillings’. sigh If past performance didn’t earn him sainthood here, this injury does. Heck, they’re even interviewing the guy that sold him ham sandwiches and onion rings near the stadium before he got famous…</p>

<p>I liked the headline this weekend “So Favre, So Good.”</p>

31

<p>Xiggi–fluke???fluke??? them’s fightin’ words! Giants clearly outplayed them.</p>

<p>Fundingfather–I love the Wolverines as much as the next Maize n blue alum, but there’s something seriously wrong with your algorithm if it produces *any *hesitation on whom to root for in the Superbowl.</p>

<p>Edit: and now with Toomer *and *Manningham on the team, I hope we’re past that momentary confusion.</p>

32

<p>

</p>

<p>Guilty as charged ;)</p>

33

<p>I know it’s not the same level of celebrity, but last night, watching the Mets closer Billy Wagner break down while saying he’d come back from career-threatening surgery because his son “wasn’t ready for it to be over,” really got to me. Guy played hurt all year, got a ton of grief from fans, and now it turns out his arm was falling off. Never complained. Class act.</p>

34

<p>What a all around good guy Romo is…sigh…He can throw a beautiful spiral and stops to help change a flat. </p>

<p>GO 'BOYS!! BEAT 'EM ALL!!</p>

35

<p>What a doll!</p>

36

<p>Well, let’s see… so far, 2 - 0. It’s early, but things look promising!</p>

<p>I’d say that despite the loss of Mr Brady, the Patriots still have 2 things no one else in the NFL has:

  1. Bill Belichek
  2. The New England Patriots DEFENSE.</p>

<p>And the show goes on!</p>

37

<p>CC, how 'bout them Cowboys!!!</p>

38

<p>Lafalum… and video tapes…? Just sayin’.</p>

39

<p>^^^ Heehee!</p>

40

<p>Well… there aren’t any videos this year and the Pats roll on… actually, there weren’t any after the first game last year and I believe a certain team went 16-0…</p>
