Tom Brady Sr. was surfing the World Wide Web this morning when he came across information that his son, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, had an MRI in mid-August that revealed a cracked bone in his right foot. The information ran counter to what Brady Sr. had previously discussed with his son. "He did tell us that he had stress on the bone, and that's why he wore a [protective] boot for a day -- one day," Brady Sr. said. "He has never told us that he had any broken bones or fractured bones in his foot. All I knew is that he had stress on a bone, and there is a difference there." Brady Sr., who flew into New England Tuesday night in anticipation for the Patriots' season-opening game against the Chiefs on Sunday, acknowledged that he has not directly asked his son anything further about his injury, so there is a possibility that the information about a cracked bone is accurate. Based on their previous discussions, Brady Sr. said of his son's condition that "to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing with his body right now that is going to keep him out of one game for one second." He also believes that "if there was a broken bone in his foot, they wouldn't have him doing agility drills." Brady Sr. said he saw his son last night and that he is "in fine shape" and "this is nothing that is going to impact him at all."

Seriously, you need counseling. Did the Brady family foreclose your house or something. I've never seen such long standing animosity against one player or team. It just never ends with you. Then you don't even stay around and try and defend your position. You're like a terrorist. Too cowardly to stay and fight. Just hit and run.

I think Bond 00000 is realy a 12 year old fan of some losing team the Pats crushed last year and this is his way of dealing with it. STUPID COMMENTS! Get over it!!!

Oh for the love of.............let's just get the regular season started, shall we?

September 4, 2008  08:59 AM ET

I need my dad to tell my boss I'm feeling sick today. I wonder if that would work.

September 4, 2008  09:09 AM ET

Maybe Brady's mommy can write him a note excusing him?

September 4, 2008  09:25 AM ET

We really need to start the regular season so we can see if Brady is playing or not, and so that we can stop with all these ridiculous stories.

My point was that his dad's opinion means nothing in this manner. If Tom had a torn ACL I'm sure his dad would say he's fine.

I don't know if he's a Giants fan or not but I'm pulling for, can't believe I'm saying this, the Skins tonight to start NY's downfall. Not that I hate them but their fans on this site are obnoxious and deserve this.

I may be dating myself here but hearing from Brady's dad is way better than hearing from Rosanne Rosannadanna's mom.
