Secrets & Truths

Am I the only one who finds this whole Brady boot thing funny? With a lack of real things to talk about considering the two teams just played each other a few short weeks ago, the sports media has gone crazy over Tom Brady and his booted foot. And from the look of it Belichick is loving every minute of it.

I don't think Captain Hoody could have asked for anything more than to have the whole world focusing on a minor ankle sprain. This allows him and his coaches to concentrate on football and laugh themselves silly watching three days of stories about Brady protecting his foot for a morning because of a sprain. Let's face it, if it were a real injury then he would have been wearing it all day in New York and not just in the morning while bringing flowers to his Gisele.

You think Randy Moss isn't happy that his little assault problem has taken a back burner? The media is leaving real stories alone and concentrating on this minor incident. It's great. I think it takes pressure off the Pats and I think they are laughing their asses off about it.

But one thing I find really interesting, Captain Hoody seems to be enjoying this a little more than most. Anybody wonder if he didn't suggest Brady wear the boot for a morning just to drum up this kind of hoopla. You wonder if Brady isn't hanging out, outside the complex and waiting for the press to leave and then going into practice and lighting it up. I wouldn't put it past them. Belichick is the king of mind games and this would be a doozy.

I don't think anyone has looked forward to a injury report as much as everyone will next Wednesday. If it even mentions Brady as being "questionable" beyond anything but the consistent "shoulder" that he is always listed with would be a surprise to me.
