Assume you mean Brady's hand? It's an interesting look at the beat writers. We know nothing, yet there's a clear divide between those who are already speculating (often the worst things possible) and those who are actually reporting on what they have been told and what we know.

Useful excercise in weeding out the clickbait artists from the actual reporters.

There have been rumors for like 2 months that Brady broke his hand mid season, sometime during or after the Tampa Bay game, and that he played through it. It's apparently healed since then, and they took him back for x-rays during practice the other day when he got run into just to be safe.

That would be very deep lol

Ian rapoport reported that his hand is "oke" and that hes set to play aswell as someone close to brady saying "he will play".

[ProphetFlume]

Remember before a Pats SB (I don't remember which) when Brady was seen wearing an air cast around and it made absolutely no difference and was never mentioned after the game? At this point I think it's just them playing mind games.

Well doesnt matter what anyone thinks tbh coz brady was spotted on the training field today.

I was just adding some context to them doing xrays the other day, saying it was probably to be cautious since it was rumored he had an injury earlier in the season. I suspect he is perfectly fine at this point.

No four game Sunday next season when the Raiders and Seahawks play, it's a 6pm kick off UK time.

@Blueobelisk I forget most people don't have the wonder of Blue Bell ice cream.

So it seems Todd Haley is out but i dont understand it coz realy from a offensive side the Steelers didnt do much wrong most mistake this season came from a defensive side.

They needed someone not named Mike Tomlin to blame.

I'm not saying that Haley didn't have his faults. Him busting heads with Roethieberger is well-documented. But it's probably a hard job managing the egos on the Steelers' offense.

Toms Thumb after practice Wednesday...

I am no medical expert but does that look swollen ?

I 100% believe this is normal Patriots tomfuckery, trying to mess with people's heads.

He's 40 years old, I'm 36 and I don't get hit constantly for a living and I have occasional gnarliness in my joints.

That's what she said.

Love how all the reporters fire away at Belichick about brady and that he responds like he doesnt give a F :P

- - - Updated - - -

Lol thats a first, brady comes up to face the press and he wears gloves on both hands.... Lol

[eschatological]

They're fucking clowns in the Patriots organization. He's fine, but they'll take any advantage possible because of the level of hysteria surrounding them.

Man, I read on BR today an article about how no one wants to see a Vikes-Jags Super Bowl, we should be cheering for Brady and the Eagles. Jesus. One of the arguments the dude used was the market size of Minneapolis and Jacksonville being smaller combined than Philly.

Like, holy shit, it's like the 90s all over again when the Bills were in the Super Bowl.

That must have been terrible for the bills :P go to the SP 4 times in a row and lose 4 times lol

Tbh i dont think everything of the Glovegate is fake tbh but he did take part of the team training today and took snaps so who knows.

[Crissi]

This hand thing is so overrated. Like, who the f cares?

[Grube]

Didn't take long for someone to beat Carlos Henderson trying to eat his weed on a traffic stop, Robbie Anderson had an interesting cop interaction now.

The bored hot-take guys that are pretending to be sports writers.

Kind of on that note, the "Denver is trading Talib and Thomas" stuff is starting already. By the end of the off-season I think there is going to be an article about every player being released or traded on the team.

The bored hot-take guys that are pretending to be sports writers.

Which is why I haven;t felt the need to post anything about this till now. There wa literally nothing to report, till Mike Felger (and then Rapoport on twitter) said this:

"“No fracture. No ligament. Just a cut from hitting the buckle on someone’s helmet. Four stitches around the knuckle, should not affect him."

Which later lead to:

"Two tidbits from #Patriots QB Tom Brady’s thumb injury: 1. It was gushing blood when it happened. 2. He was “zinging it pretty good today,” source said."


a.k.a. this is all hot air and the media is trying to make something out of this that's not actually there. He'll start like usual on Sunday and he won;t have any problems throwing the ball.

If the Patriots had had ANY doubt that Brady might not be available, they would have signed a back up QB. They never did, hence it was pretty much sure from the start that there was nothing major wrong.

Yeah, because who wouldn't want to listen to two of the most obnoxious fanbases in all of sports bleat at each other for a whole two weeks...

And honestly, I don't think market size really matters these days, fans of every team are spread out across the country and you have so many more options for watching than just your local broadcast.

That must have been terrible for the bills :P go to the SP 4 times in a row and lose 4 times lol

Probably better than being out of the playoffs for 18 years though.

[Blueobelisk]

@Blueobelisk I forget most people don't have the wonder of Blue Bell ice cream.

who dat. I feel like I heard the name before but...To be honest I don't remember what Turkey Hill tastes like. I've eaten Breyers and Friendlys before.

im rdy for game day.

Hmm loosing 4 SB straight or being out of the playoffs for 18 years, i think both are equaly bad.
