9-4-08 D&H talk about Tom Brady

Let the Red Sox are off tonight. The football game will be done in time if you're inclined to watch senator McCain's acceptance speech -- it got no real issues and it is the start of the NFL season. Although my guess is the TV numbers in New England will be a little less than they are in New York and I understand that. -- hall. It's going to be hard for Patriots fans as you said to watch the first. 678 minutes once they get passed ball let them know I guess we'll start watching again and and I think you'll boy Jason Campbell could be -- and.

I don't have high expectations winners -- five yards three touchdown and no interceptions and an exception may be rushing touchdown to get enough you know 42. Shootout. -- 42 of.

35. It is the start of the NFL season we're grateful for that albeit -- tomorrow for Patriots Friday and will be talking about a real game and not an exhibition game boy there's a lot of talk about Brady everywhere I mean John had the scoop yesterday. And and you know everywhere you go that's all you hear. I was talking with a guy story -- Brady yeah that's our that's all anybody wants and I was talking to a guy. Last night at the obvious who's in the know on this sort of thing. Who said that they think he's a hell yeah he well he's in the -- about this he said Vegas took the Patriots game off the board yesterday. And he checked while while we were it obvious last night he checked again it was still off the board. And and the obvious reason that you would take it off the board and its not hard figure out is because the question mark about whether Brady can player and and you know the indication if if if year so inclined would be -- he's not comply. They always know more than than we know than anybody else knows that they know Brady's not gonna play I think he is going to apply. But I ain't going to admit I'm kind of curious. You know at game time on Sunday who trots out there are under center when the Patriots have the ball the first time.

I would think Tom Brady's going to play. That the the question is. And we'll never get answered this question because of who we're doing we don't with the -- of Brady's retirement -- that not even after his retirement now they were never tell us about -- reason and the extent of injuries. The question is is a report true. Sources told John Dennis and there's a broken bone it's a small break it's it's it's -- fracture right. And he would be better. If he if he could be off of his foot for another few weeks. If that's stupid that's true. If that report is true. I don't understand life plan on the thing but maybe it's natural well.

The only reason I I guess that I hesitate about it is is as you say if if if the doctors said -- to -- checklists and you give this guy 34 weeks off. Just get him off of that and to be fine I think dated -- he's been practicing. It -- practicing again you know yesterday -- be practicing again today. When you have the media portion of practice there's not a lot that you get to see but one of the things is -- a little agility drills -- high stepping over. You know some cones or some pads or some pennant. It just seems that if it if if what he needed was get him off that thing. You know let's get this thing healed I just feel like. That's what would happen now Thompson dad checks in today. And and he's not sure it's fractured either -- well -- yeah I don't know about that though when you say he warned that he wore the boat for one day.

Wednesday but that's it but it but the story also says. His dad wasn't asked directly. You know he didn't ask Tom directly about -- this latest. This latest piece of information in this latest nugget which would change his story completely and you know. How much and always very close to his father Tom Brady senior. But how much is he gonna tell. On his dad. About this injuries and it is going to -- that given these updates -- this is what's happening with -- I look at.

Yeah like I mean usually you're talking to your dad and they prayers what's going on is it he might there's anybody you'd share -- you think -- would be your father except for this. Except for this. Tom Brady senior. The reason you see him quoted. Is because he's here you know because he likes -- play any golf -- also here he showed up by guests you know only going to be here for the game. My guess is maybe well maybe they get Ahold of him he was out.

the reason he he he has. He has talked a lot. Over the years. You know he's he has he has not shy about. I sharing his Bill Belichick campfire and -- gonna say it isn't shy about sharing of opinions about the Patriots a few years ago he said I think my son is at its best season. Because that was the year when -- had. Doug Gabriel and here you had Reche Caldwell. A -- gap became Lleyton he's Troy Brown. I think he's had his best season because it took its top two receivers away that's that's up in the Patriots really like -- Allah -- look at you know -- a couple of years before that he said yeah Iowa Tom had surgery at a this -- that was bothering him all year he he confirmed -- separated shoulder that he had at the end of 2002. So. Tom Brady senior. We'll talk to you -- on the phone that's why it may be. I can see Tom and not sharing all the details with them because he knows that really can't keep a secret when it comes --

Or maybe it's simple simply -- doubt I'll tell you -- listen to pin buddy calls you gotta dummy up here. I'm getting crap from my boss decides I've been saying stuff and you know he's already kind of hinted that. Evidently he's been beaten yelled at for some of the things he's.

Not -- but it but it's funny and I know Bill Belichick understands because. His father rest in peace was the same way he remained blocked most intelligent these ballots -- too low. That talk and it tell you a story you're to a tent so. Our Aaron -- can't remember who who was. And may have been let me Magglio. Metro west. Call them up and asked about the team this is a few years ago and Ken Walter was struggling as a partner. You know -- ballots I would think the Patriots. Addicted I think they're pretty good addicted to change that --

Actually did every at -- they got -- back yet he's go opera weaker some and then. At that is funny though as. I mean if if there's anybody you're ever going to tell everything to which again after that and hope -- viewed as the Colts or our part you know it has been your mentor is Tom's dad has been for him and like adults OC -- lesson that somebody calls here you know once the word I'm I'm getting enough crap around here as it is for this stuff so. The one thing that that Tom senior shared that jumped out at me was the only one the boat for a day. Just kind of flies in the face from the east it it defies logic with it doesn't erupt with a fractured bone in in your -- It seems to me like remember how much we somewhere in that -- last winner right I mean those shots in your Torre's carry in the flowers to ages -- he's got the Blue Line and if Tom seniors -- wore it for a day here. It makes me wonder if the release of -- that that's not knock it on and a source.

I understand that understand your right if he. If his dad is right about the the -- for a day and he's practicing. It does make you question report but the but of the report. Is accurate I'm looking at the schedule here. September 7 to Sunday. Kansas City at knowing. Kansas --

Matt Cassel can be insulted that yet and yes you can't tell me you know I hit hit them back I got up ahead that. Break their back doesn't sound like. Brady aren't so yet Kansas City head -- got on the fourteenth New England at the Jets and maybe the Jets. Can beat the Patriots without Tom Brady. Make the Jets the favorites. The next week he's got -- E Bill Belichick arts -- or that side it's not about you about that it's about the team. What's best for the team we hear that all the time where he would put the team I'm just saying. Losing to those guys which is -- them here ego and this is -- September 21. Miami. All of our other guys got that that's -- to. -- the Dolphins. At the Patriots. Matt Cassel Kevin O'Connell. Hey Laurence Maroney quarterback whatever every -- You can beat the Dolphins at home even though they will be improved I think there will be much improved this year. I think in the last place team in the but they still are are likely the last place team and in the division.

Have a pie. And and I -- god I hate you know by the time you face a real football team in San Diego you're thinkin' you know my quarterback will be ready to --

Is that right after the ball is Sampras is called the chosen the right so. Yeah about that is -- That is brilliant music right there.

So it is this like forty football fans in the island that part it would with all other part he can cut it off -- got to the the part once then. I like partly your -- out here. I'm not I'm it it's not depart. Hidden there. -- About the load and he's with -- note that. I don't know number one number one was when I hit. -- You know he -- they -- to spit and yes that is too wide. More important that ended -- important that's number one I don't know. But it is reported to have got a -- Of him in that drug. You've got a month grass.

Yeah. Look I don't think I I -- I agree with what you said when we were kind of joking about you know losing to the Jets would beat bill Belichick's -- alive. He would always put team first he would never he would never have Brady playing I don't think. You know at the risk of of having him go down for a longer period of time. I mean I think that the doctors really do tell ballot Checketts not the other way around. If the doctors were saying and bill can't play. Got a broken bone in his foot you can't put him out there I don't think he'd be out there only can be practicing I don't picky now. He's got some sort of an injury I don't know what it is maybe it is some hairline fracture or whatnot. I understand completely went when you know he says they don't want I'm standing around on the sidelines for three and a half hours I understand all that stuff. He's got an injury of some kind. I just don't think it's serious enough that they're thinking about pain and we need some down for a few.
