Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 19, 2018 why wouldnt they? A thumb nail ripping off is not going to have some sort of break involved. Maybe if he jammed it up, they would want to make sure. Can't we just see if he canceled his manicure today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parrot 789 Posted January 19, 2018 McCourty killing it too; Q: Can you say how Tom Brady looked at practice today? DM: Tom looks excellent every day. One of the best-looking people I’ve ever met. Q: Did he look like his hand was bothering him at all? DM: When you look at Tom, the facial [region], it’s hard to look at anything else. So, I really only saw his face. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kanil 519 Posted January 19, 2018 I read somewhere it was a dislocation of his thumb from the way they treated it. This was some old team doctor from the Chargers telling it to someone like deadspin or something so take that for what it's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parrot 789 Posted January 19, 2018 Why is it not, just answer the focking questions.. The dude didn't practice yesterday and they refuse to answer questions.. It's absurd. He answered the question the best way that he could - and at least gave them something quotable - since he was probably ordered not to talk about it. And the reporters all laughed. It's called a sense of humor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,043 Posted January 19, 2018 It's the reporters job to ask questions, but as long as the player isn't disrespectful, he can answer it how he wants. No one is really obliged to answer any question. What if they ask them specifics about their gameplan. Obviously, you'll deflect the question, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,206 Posted January 19, 2018 Brady should have a press conference and just come out with a hook hand, tell everyone 'I feel good to go' and walk off. I've told variations of this story since my kids were little; using a fork, knife, whatever is at hand. It has become one of those "stupid dad jokes" that they'll look back fondly on. Even now as teenagers, if we sit by a firepit with some fresh blood, they smile in anticipation of me doing it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mighty_thor 115 Posted January 20, 2018 If his thumb was bent back so much that the webbing between his index finger and thumb required stitches (like one report suggested), I dont see anyway his thumb ligament was not torn. I had this happen to me about 20 years ago and needed surgery. You would lose stability of the thumb and you would lose grip strength. I dont think he would play or if he did, he would suuck. Initial reports said no structural damage which would imply no ligament damage. If its just stitches, then he probably needs to deal with pain and bleeding. He would probably throw with a glove to deal with the stitches opening up. He has not used gloves in recent years but when he was younger he had some of his best games while wearing them. I would think this case would have minimal to zero effect on his passing. At this point, you dont know what to believe. Anyone betting on this game is crazy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its been pointed out that the Patriots havent made a move to add a 3rd QB to the roster. If Brady was going to be out then theyd only have Hoyer and no backup. So that indicates that he is expected to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
