The Patriots quarterback walked with long strides and without a limp in his brown wingtips Sunday as he headed for one of the five buses that would take the team to its flight to Arizona for the Super Bowl a week later.

For the first time since last Sunday, Brady appeared in front of reporters and photographers in Foxborough. At a departure rally shortly before the buses left, he walked without slipping on a light dusting of snow on the Gillette Stadium field as flurries fell.
"Now this is Foxborough faithful right here," Brady told a cheering crowd of about 15,000 after he reached the podium at midfield along the Patriots sideline. "We can just go ahead and play the game today. Thank you guys for coming out."

I wish they were playing the game today. Not sure I can take another week of this insipid hype.

None of it has much to do with the game anyway. It's all about the media and how they can make a dollar selling their snake oil.

I'm not sure I can take another week of "Bootgate"

I forget. Why was the extra week added and when did it occur. I remember the superbowl used to be played around my sister's birthday, now it is in Feb.

The ESPN guys were strongly suggesting that Brady isn't hurt, and that the boot was a ruse to distract the media from other stories, such as Moss's incident, the taping incident earlier in the season, stuff like that. Heh, pretty crazy conspiracy theory, but... if that is true it's a pretty darn smart move by New England. Get everyone talking about a fake story and keep them distracted while you take care of business. I like it.

Okay people ... here ya go !!





SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --Tom Brady says he'll be fit to play in the Super Bowl, and that includes his world-famous right ankle.
''It's feeling good. I'll be ready to go,'' the New England Patriots quarterback said Sunday night when the AFC champions met the media for the first time shortly after arriving in Phoenix.
Brady, making his first comments since beating San Diego in the AFC championship game a week ago, walked up the three short steps to the podium with ease, showing no signs of the injury that has become THE hot topic since he was spotted wearing a protective boot last Monday.
Though he was in great spirits - laughing, smiling and taking ''Gisele'' questions in stride, Brady also acknowledged he got hurt in the Patriots' 21-12 victory in the AFC title game.
''It was in the San Diego game, I think in the third quarter,'' Brady said, adding that it came on a sack. The injury is reportedly a minor high ankle sprain.

Sure... third quarter against San Diego. Right. That's what they WANT you to believe.

I'm only guessing but wasnt it because they went from 16 games a season to 17?
