NFL Football: Superbowl… Tom Brady’s Injury
January 23, 2008
If you haven’t heard already even though every sports channel and sports network has reported it all Wednesday long, Tom Brady has sustained a high ankle sprain that has him wearing a walking cast.
Disaster for the undefeated New England Patriots right? Wrong, from what I am hearing the injury will not affect his status for the Super Bowl, but if you have seen the video that has been playing over and over on ESPN, Tom Brady is noticeably limping. So I think somebody isn’t telling the truth.
I don’t know about you, but if you have ever sprained your ankle (and I have about 10 or more times playing basketball), you know that it is not something that just goes away in two weeks. In fact, two weeks later, depending on the severity of the sprain, you ankle will be black, blue and just plain nasty. That is a good thing though because once you notice bruising, then the swelling has gone down, but you are nowhere near 100% or in game shape.
Although I feel for Tom Brady because it must suck to have cameras all over him in Boston 24/7, but this will make New York Giants fans very, very happy and unfortunately for pretty boy Tom, he will have a big, no huge target on that ankle come game time.
This Super Bowl could turn out to be pretty good if it turns out that Brady isn’t 100% on Super Bowl Sunday on February 3rd.

NFL Football Super Bowl 42: New York Giants vs. New England Patriots
January 21, 2008
On February 3rd in Glendale, Arizona the New York Giants will try and do the impossible by beating the undefeated New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The conference championships on Sunday showcased some interesting match ups and unpredictable outcomes, especially in the NFC where the Giants were able to contain Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers’ running game lead by Ryan Grant.
It was another cold one at Lambeau field with the temperature being almost unbearable and near impossible to play in, but Giants quarterback Eli Manning wasn’t fazed one bit as he lead his team to the promise land and his first Super Bowl.
The AFC conference championship on the other hand ended with a the predicted outcome as the Patriots took the victory, but Phillip Rivers and the Chargers didn’t not go out without a fight; at one point it seemed the Chargers were in control and on their way to the big game in Arizona.
You would think if you can force the New England Patriots to make turnovers, you have a pretty good chance at winning the game, especially when you intercept 3 of Tom Brady’s passes. Even though the Chargers played arguably the best defense on what has become an unbeatable offense, it just wasn’t enough to end the Patriots Super Bowl campaign. Phillip Rivers was noticeably banged up (admitted he had surgery a week prior), Antonio Gates was a total non factor and LaDainian Tomlinson was only involved in 3 plays because of injury. With all this going on, I still got to give it to them; the Chargers gave the Patriots a run for their money.
