If this is true, I dont want to hear any crying by pats fan. The Patriots have had the best luck in terms of player health over the past about 3-4 years, which has translated into their success.
Oh lawdy. Fine then, I'll be the disgusting one in the corner celebrating this injury along with fans of other AFC East teams bar the patsies.
I can't believe people are actually happy about this, its not like its a Manning that got hurt. At least the Cowboys won and the Colts are losing, something to salvage from a sad day in the NFL.

Wow, this really opens up the AFC this year. How wierd would it be for the Jets to take advantage of that weak division and make some noise with Favre? Oh, and a lot of FF teams got killed today because I can't think of any league where Brady made it out of the first round.
i tried not to laugh, but that was kinda funny. anyhoo, it opens it up for everyone in the AFC. Pittsburgh looks pretty strong after they handed the Texans a steel ass whooping. i'm sure san diego can bounce back.
Chargers lose to the Panthers at home, and now the Colts get embarassed at home by daBears. Pittsburgh is looking real good right about now. BTW, the Colts stadium is UGLY as hell. Looks like some kind of old tire factory or something. yuck.
QFT. I don't care how you feel about any particular team, player, or coach. Losing one of the best players in the league for a year, especially after what happened with the Patriots last year, sucks for the league and fans of football, in general. I know Using basketball as an analogy, I would be disappointed if Jordan, Magic, or Bird went down with a season-ending injury during their prime regardless of who my favorite team was.
I'm one of those that starts to hate a team when "they win too much", but wishing for or celebrating something like this is bottom of the barrel stuff. -If spygate had new, smoking gun, revelations that resulted in the Pats being playoff-ineligible and Belichik got suspended for a year.....no problem. Cheat --> Punished. -If Tom Brady publicly went douche, say holding his long-time team and city hostage to force a trade or pulling a Chad Johnson for a year.....I wouldn't shed a tear seeing him go down. Karma. -Cheering Tom Brady going down simply because you're sick of the Pats winning is weak, since (as mentioned) you're now missing out on a truly great player in his prime and one of the greatest (semi-)dynasties in the history of the sport. There was plenty of Cowboy backlash in the early 90s, but they were one of the great pieces of NFL history. Additionally, there's a chance that Brady won't be quite the same again. -Cheering the injury because it opens up the AFC is equally lame. You want to see a team win it all because they went through the best, not because the road got cleared out for them. I get hating certain teams (I LOATHE the Redskins)*, but the NFL season lost luster after yesterday. Evan *Don't take that to mean I'm a Cowboys fan. I grew up in VA.
You can walk on a torn ACL. Baron David played like two minutes while he was at UCLA with one before coming out of the game. He was being assisted also (Brady). They announced he was done for the season and put him on IR so it's not made up. If you look at the play you can tell it's severe. Not to mention all the players saying how he was screaming and yelling. My guess is that it's actually more severe then they are letting on
I'm sad to see brady injured; I would have liked to see the steelers pound the patricheats at 100%. The guy only has a couple years left before qbs generally have a major downhill slide. p.s. bill simmons caused this. I have no idea how, but I'm sure he'll take credit for it.
Since Brady is officially out for the whole season does this mean we are going to see Daunte Culpepper get his roll on?
This offseason there was talk of them 2 reuniting on another team. I guess they have patched things up.
