The cardinal rule of sports injuries is that you never celebrate them because you never know if they'll play again, hell, even walk again.

That being said, Tom Brady's won three rings, is a millionaire, and fucks an honest to god supermodel.

I always wondered if Tom Brady sends Mo Lewis a christmas card every year. If it wasn't for Mo, Brady might be out of the league at this point.

Hey guys. What's going on? I was just in town and wanted to stop by and say hello.........

[Tenbatsuzen]

You know, I can understand you guys being upset, BUT YOU HAVE THREE FUCKING RINGS ALREADY and almost had a fourth if it wasn't for Manning-to-Tyree.

Even if Brady doesn't play another down of football for the rest of the season you're still in the five-year honeymoon period from the last win.

How about the Jets fans, who came oh-so-close in the AFC game, and then Vinny went down in the first game of the season the next year? THAT'S awfulness.

Maybe Matt Cassell will be Tom Brady and Kevin O'Connell or the other guy will turn into Damon Huard.

Be positive guys. If history has taught us anything its that catastrophic knee injuries are easy to come back from. It's not like he'll need a whole season to get back into form. He'll be 100% on day one next season.

i'm cautiously optimistic. one of their hallmarks was winning by close margins no matter the opponent. it will be great to see how the "genius" does without brady once again. everyone forgets he has a losing record in games not started by brady. can't wait for that cult to fall apart.

I blame last nights chat for the injury!

Voodoo!

"This, we have to say it, remember this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses. An unspeakable tragedy, confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City: Tom Brady, outside of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City, the most famous, perhaps, of all The Patriots, shot twice in the back, rushed to the Roosevelt Hospital, dead on arrival."

If he is for a fact coming in that would pretty much sew up the fact that Brady goes to IR. I thought they should have had him in to compete with Cassel(Who happens to have graduated from the same year and HS of my soft west-coast brother-in-law) before Like was said before this team is going to have to go back to winning circa 2001-2

[ralphbxny]

Has someone made sure Bob Kelly is ok?

Whats the overunder on Vinny checking his cell phone every 5 secs??

Cassel didn't even play at USC when he was there. But who knows. This could be Mo Lewis all over again.

It's one loss and the Chargers play in one hell of a shit division versus a whole season. So yah, I'm not concerned. Take a look at the Charger schedule too when you get a shot, that's the toughest game they'll play for weeks.

I really believe that a call will be made to Culpepper. He did have some great seasons with Moss in Minnesota. Couldn't hurt to have him in the wings. Belichek does some of his best work with guys like that i.e (Seau, Dillon).

It was brought out on one of the local post game shows that he's already filed his retirement papers with the league. And that the team would probably not want to waste time with a guy who basically had a public temper tantrum that he wasn't picked up this year. I'm thinking that it will be simms in here to challenge and be at least a backup. (there was talk of Huard coming in to vy for the backup, but with Croyle getting dinged and the price he would now entail I don't see that happening.)

The retirement papers mean nothing. Just because you sign the retirement papers doesn't mean you're done, it's basically for the player's association and Hall of Fame countdown.

As Favre showed, going from "retired" to "reinstated" takes about 4 business days, if that.

It was a Daniel joke, and me bringing up the point how much of the Pats is Brady vs. how much of them is Belichick.

And I'm not celebrating yet, especially since they're playing my team next year. It's Madden Curse vs. Ewing Theory.

The point is that unlike other players who sit and wait he went and quit/retired. They were questioning if his heart is still in it. It's going to be Simms.

He quit because he didn't want to ride pine. He had offers from two teams, but had to be a backup.

And didn't the whole Culpepper/Moss era end horribly?

Oh shit, I just realized. Moss will become an asshole again, because nobody they put back there will be good enough. They won't be Brady, they won't throw him the ball enough.


Oh, this just gets deeper and deeper.

wow i couldnt have picked a better year to force myself to be indifferent to the patriots for at least the first half of the season. i would never wish an injury on anyone tho, or celebrate it.

If you ladies can stop peeing on your shoes for a second and just watch the rest of the season the Pats just might still surprise some people. Hell Farvereaerea didn't look that hot (Another chuck it up and pray your guy catches it pass) Pats still take the division

Oh Jets fans hold a special place in hell for "The man in the mirror"
It doesn't make me a supposed fan because I disagree with your opinion. the sub satifactory product is the nature of game. Injuries are part of it and this time it happened to Brady now you have to see how they handle it Do they have depth to overcome injury.
I doubt you can say honestly that you felt bad last year when the SD Chargers had their injuries as the playoffs began that NEs were disappointed

Stop, this would make sense if it was a playoff game, or a Monday night game, but not a week 2 regional game. If Brady got injured in Week 10, and there was a lot of buildup, I could see the problem. And even then, you don't know what's going to happen (Simms/Hoss, anyone?)

Nobody cares about the Jets outside of the NY Metro. They have always been seen as a substandard team. That's the way Jets fans like it.

I'm still scratching my head on going for 2 after Favre recreated Manning-to-Tyree. I mean, *I* could hit a PAT. And even with Brett Favre, having someone like Clemens try to kick for a PAT would probably have a higher success rate than going for 2.

I hate the Colts. I still wouldn't want to beat the Colts without Manning.

And I'm fully aware that most people despise the Patriots. I just don't understand supposed fans of the game wanting a sub satisfactory product.

Also, I enjoy how the Jets "fans" hold a grudge against Bellichick, and not the guy who actually forced him out of NY.

I agree and i think it boils down to the fact that in order to be called the best i want to beat the best. There really isn't just as much satisfaction in taking down Jim Sorgi and the Colts or the Hefty Lefty and the Colts as there is in beating Manning (with his "aw shucks" face fully in tact) and the Colts. Yea, a win is a win and a championship is still valid but something inside of me tells me most NFL players want to beat Brady and the Pats, not Cassell and the Pats.

does Matt Cassel get to bang Giselle, if he throws 40 TDs or wins the Super Bowl

I assume Giselle was a gift to Brady from Kraft for being successful

THE MEDIA MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE IN GREEN BAY HATES BRETT FAVRE

That's because he's a traitor! :ohmy:

[spoon]

No one is saying that people are saying that because he is out the NFL loses out on marquee match ups. The NFL was looking forward to promoting Favre V Brady/ NY V NE as a big match up. The NFL is a business and NE is a marquee team. It's like the MLB this year they are very pissed that they won't have the Yanks this October it's bad for business

It's bad for business (MLB) bc of the way they allow their business to be run! It wouldn't hurt so much if the league was run as just that, a league versus putting so much on one team.

As for the NFL, ESPN surely puts a focus on marquee players and does go overboard in their reporting. Yet the NFL is a completely different animal and another team, other matchups will sell just the same. Perhaps not so much in Boston/Mass, but the NFL lives through big market teams going down much easier than leagues like MLB.

Buffalo and the NYJ are primed to make the division interesting, and to be honest, I'm even more interested now as I'm sure many NFL fans would agree.

Agreed that it is a big hit for the league. As a Jet fan I would love to win but beat the Pats to do it, but it wont make it any less sweet to do it.

The Yankees are MLBs most storied franchise the team you love or love to hate. Just like the Cowboys (or the Pats the past few years), just like the Celtics, or the Rangers, or Notre Dame etc Its also the market size. You would rather have the # 1 New York market and its 26 million people over Kansas City and its six thousand.

Come playoff time the NFL / Network would much rather sell add time based on the Tom Brady led Patriots playing the Payton Manning led Colts in the AFC Championship game i/o San Diego vs. Jacksonville.

Yeah, but then they'd just lose in the Super Bowl.... again.

I hate the Cowboys and at least this SuperBowl memory must be ok:

The ironic thing here is that if that Pats lineman wasn't holding and grabbing that Chiefs player's helmet and pulling him to the ground he wouldn't have come in so low on Brady.

I say its a black fly in your chardonnay

[cougarjake13]

it does suck that brady is out but it does make the afc east a lil more interesting


what it does though is set up favre and the jets for more potential success and if you thought the offseason favre coverage was bad wait until week 15+16 if they jets are in first or in wild card contention

[FezsAssistant]

I guess it's karma for all the dirty plays and cheating by the Pats over the years.

HBox I noticed the same thing when I saw it happen live.

Not only did whoever it was that was blocking the guy push him to the ground from behind he then kinda sat on him.

The whole time I was thinking that had to be something illegal.

[weekapaugjz]

Buffalo Bills, AFC north champs 2008!

Wow, I didn't know you could change divisions once the season started!

Yeah, but then they'd just lose in the Super Bowl.... again.
