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.
