Update on Tom Brady and Das Boot
As you’ve probably heard by now, Patriot nation has breathed a HUGE collective sigh of relief at the news that Tom Brady is only suffering from a mild high ankle sprain, nothing more.
In fact, Tom and his gorgeous lady friend Gisele were spotted hitting the town earlier this week, and Brady was without the boot/brace he wore earlier in the day. So why did he have it on in the first place? The answer is probably one of the three:
1) Just a precaution
2) A Belichick ploy to confuse the Giants
3) Brady was in trouble w/Gisele
Personally, I believe option #3. Think about it - he was probably in the doghouse with Gisele for something dumb; like forgetting to call after the AFC Championship game or knocking up another C-level actress. And you know that a high profile, high income model like Gisele is also uber high maintenance and was waiting for him in NYC with the Wrath of Khan.
So what does Tommy Touchdown do? He buys some flowers AND puts a brace over his ankle. Imagine the scene when he walked into Gisele’s pad:
Tom: “Hey, babe. I brought you some flowers and- (winces) ow, my leg…”
Gisele: “Oh, you poor thing!”
(they do it)
Well played, Tom. Very well played indeed. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m running late to meet my girlfriend for dinner. Better put on that neck brace…
Update: Tom Brady has missed practice on both Thursday and Friday. Again, it’s either due to reasons #1 and #2 listed above, or the Patriots figure that having Gisele nurse him back to health is their best option. Can’t really argue with that logic…
Tom Brady, bootgate, Gisele, misdirection
