06:42 AM ET 01.29 | His right ankle was so heavily taped, it could have been mummified. When he moved, he walked with what was described as a "slight limp." It's official now. Tom Brady's "minor" high ankle sprain is an issue, even if the Patriots keep treating it as if Gisele just broke a fingernail. Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will be tempted to dial up even more blitzes to test Brady.

haha, best pic of brady i've ever seen. he looks like he's giving a long, drawn out country-style, um, s word.

sheeeee**!

"Houston we have a problem"!

That pic is from when he auditioned for the part of Jethro in the Beverly Hillbillys movie,

the headline is pretty dumb, though, really. "Why the Giants will blitz Brady"...

the same reason they blitz everyone. what they really mean is, "Why the Giants will try to hit Brady on his sore ankle"

WAITAMINUTE!!! You mean that an NFL team is going to blitz the other team's offense in a game??? Man, you so rarely see that sort of thing. It will be nice to see the Giants, whose slow and friendly defense so rarely blitzes, actually blitz for a change. They may even get a sack.

By the way... This thread will hit 2000 posts, and 1800 of them will be about the pic of Brady some joker editor chose to use up there.

Moss, Gaffney, Stallworth and Welker all hoping this headline is true!

January 29, 2008  07:21 AM ET

wow, welker must be loving this news. he'll definately make his pay-check in his game!

January 29, 2008  07:26 AM ET

the giants were always going to blitz brady. every team that has hung with the pats in games this season have done 2 things, blitz brady and run the ball.

if this is news, i'd love to learn what the giants were planning on doing before the "injury" news came out. i seriously doubt the giants were going to be playing the pats in man to man all game..

He totally looks like he's doing a Tim Taylor from tool time. "Erruh? They're going to blitz?"

January 29, 2008  07:34 AM ET

Good thing we got word from the Daily News for the official word on Brady's ankle being an issue. <_<

January 29, 2008  07:35 AM ET

wow, welker must be loving this news. he'll definately make his pay-check in his game!

Forget about paycheck...MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!

With that pic i thought the article was going to say that Brady said "DEE DEE DEE"...lol

January 29, 2008  07:50 AM ET

I smell a set up. Maybe an attempt by Bill to write a little of the Giants game plan.

January 29, 2008  07:57 AM ET

Is that what a concussed Brady will look like when he answers "In Giselle's bedroom," to the question: "where are you?", on the sideline on Sunday?

Blitz away, from the right, from the left, corner backs, line backers, and safteys, everyone now, get in on the fun, Pin the shoulder pad to the Brady. Go Giants!!

I will believe it when I see it...I think Belichick is doing all he can to keep his team thinking they just need to show up to win..Hey, when you have not lost a game all year, why would you think anyone will beat you now..just human nature..No player is 100% this time of year.

January 29, 2008  08:21 AM ET

My bad.. , that is Belichick is trying to NOT let them think they just need to show up...I need a bigger font on this comment section....lol

Quick! Somebody tell Bill Belichick. THE GIANTS ARE GONNA BLITZ!!
