The collective known as Boston area sports lost a breath or two this morning when they heard reports that New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was involved in a car crash this morning on his way to the teams facility.
WEEI radio was the 1st to report this. They also reported and others have now confirmed that Brady wasn't injured and was released from the scene.
The person in the other vehicle wasn't quite as lucky. Read more from Boston.com RIGHT HERE
We suspect that this will be the #1 News story in the New England area today. It's also lighting up the Sports world Twitter feeds too.
Hopefully someone will be able to report on how the other guy in the crash is doing. If Brady drove to work afterwards, he's fine.
If you are interested in some shaky long lens video of the wreck, you can follow this link to WHDH-TV in Boston....RIGHT HERE
Here's WBZ-TV's Breaking News Report from this morning... Laura Ebben leads off...
Tom Brady hates the New York Jets. Therefore watching Hard Knocks with the New York Jets on HBO is not appointment TV for the Patriot QB.
Monday morning Brady was on the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show on WEEI radio in Boston talking football and bashing the Jets at the 13:30 mark. Click on the link to listen.
Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports is reporting that the injury to New England Patriots QB Tom Brady ((pictured, thanks Boston Globe/Jim Davis)) is season-ending. During the first quarter of his Week 1 game with Kansas City, Brady was rolled as Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard was lunging from ground-level. It appears that Brady's ACL in his left knee has decided that a vacation was necessary
"While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.
“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”
If confirmed, that leaves the Pats offense in the hands of back-up QB Matt Cassel. Notice those of us here at OSG HQ didn't precede the phrase with the word "capable."
To those of you who believe in that Karma thing with all the Belichick ((we'll go ahead and say it)) SHENANIGANS over the last few seasons with married women, videotapes, and his general daily demeanor...
You, sir, have been served...
Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reports that free agent QB Chris Simms will be reporting to Pats' offices on Monday and, pending a physical and a workout, could be in uniform by the end of the day.
