Brady a go as it looks... according to "The REAL Feed":

Belichick expects Brady to be ready (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/wires/09/03/2020.ap.fbn.patriots.brady.1st.ld.writethru.0282/index.html)

I don't think Belichick expects Brady to be ready... now,... or, at least, NFL.com already doesn't...

"Brady's season over after injuring knee vs. Chiefs (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80a95089&template=with-video&confirm=true)"

Official word is yet to come,... but, let's face it, it doesn't look good... :-/

There's the official word [smiley=borg.gif] currently topping "The REAL Feed (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)"...

No official news yet on the injury that caused LaMont Jordan to leave the game.  But, I am watching that game and I saw it.  It's bad.  It could, I would surmise, be a season-ender or even a career-threatener given his age and the position he plays.  He wasn't even touched.  His right foot just appeared to collapse at the Achilles.  It looked bad.  He did limp off "on" it, but, as I recall, others in the immediacy of an Achilles injury have as well.  The only hope is that it was a calf cramp, I suppose, but I don't think that's the case... :-/ I might have just witnessed the last rush of a player whose career had such high hopes at one time but never got off the ground.  Put philosophically-ish, the form of a great runner never met the matter of the right fit team-wise.

I don't think this is really going to matter.  It looks like the winds of Buffalo are going to keep the scoring in this game at a modicum.  But, if you play IDP,...  From "The REAL Feed":

I'm sure Brady's injury status will be a hot topic on the Patriots "Offseason Report" thread...  But, in any event, I didn't know there was any question regarding his being ready by the start of the 2009 season...  According to "The REAL Feed", though,...

Source: Brady plans to be back for Pats opener (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3865269&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (27.01.2009 22:16)
A source tells ESPN's Michael Smith that Tom Brady expects to be recovered for this season's opener.

YIKES!!!
