Retraction on Brady injury story

Apparently Tom Brady was joking when he made the remark about his ankle and being slow. It was misinterpreted by some media outlets and yours truly here, Bette.
It should have read that his ankle feels good and he joked that he was still slow and couldnt jump.
To all you Pats fans out there who suffered minor heart trauma, I apologize.
Several other media outlets have it wrong also. Apparently the only ones not fooled were the local Boston ones.

Re: Retraction on Brady injury story

Apparently, Tom Brady's ankle is serious business, no joking around allowed -- especially not around the media!!!

For further evidence of what Bette's talking about, check out these two stories...

Tom Brady jokes that he's still slow after ankle injury - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)—New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady described the lingering effects of his injury late last season, saying Saturday that his ankle now feels really good, but he joked that he’s still slow and can’t jump... Speaking on the second day of the three-day mandatory minicamp, Brady said his off season training program has been somewhat limited by the fact that still does not lift a lot of weight.
