News: Brady could be away longer than anticipated

[WTtoolman]

Honestly, are PEDs going to make a significant difference for a 45 year old QB?? I could see if he was injured and needed to speed up his recovery time, but I feel their effect would be minimal at best.

 

[jazzcat22]

I want TB to play. I think we can beat him easily this time.

 

[gimmesix]

Hoping for the easier road is weak sauce.

I don't hope for injuries or missing players, but I also don't mind them because there have been plenty of time when we've had to play without top players or with some limited by injuries. It's just the nature of the game.

How long does it take HGH to leave the system so one can pass a PED test?

You're onto something.

 

[lane]

Expect this to happen with more QBs on our schedule this year.

lmao

Absolutely they would.

Look at Lance Armstrong. He was doing things nobody his age should be doing. Same for Bonds, Clemons . . . Edleman (who happens to use Brady's trainer).

There is something strange going on. What kind of issue could he have that one of the richest men in America would need so much time to make go away.

Unfortunately the only thing I could think of is someone really close to him is really sick.
Hope it is just some scandal he got himself into rather than the former.

I believe he and his wife are having issues and that's a big deal.
I think she wants him to step away.

I think that's what it is too. Let the man play, woman!!!

That’s why you gotta have a side chick on standby.

Media has confirmed that it has nothing to do with his health or the health of anyone close to him.

Most media sources imply that it has something to do with his wife not wanting him to play and spending more time with his kids. But like @sunalsorises said, he may be trying to avoid the random testing during preseason.

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with his absence or not. Or if it's possible to skip the test by simply tending to personal matters instead. But I think he's onto something that Brady is likely using PEDs.

That's his story, at least. And he's sticking to it.

Fortunately Romo had a wife that convinced him to walk away

Me too.

I want to see how the speed of our offensive line looks against Brady.

 

[zrinkill]

Sad that people are vilifying a wife that wants her 45 year old husband to stop playing the most traumatizing position in team sports.

Troy Aikman admitted last year he has memory problems related from concussions ....... and he retired at 34

I wouldn't mind not seeing him week 1.

Hope everything is alright in his life though.

That would be a major downer for me. Probably be my last chance to see him play in person.

Ask Barry Bonds. Certainly helped him.

Correct.

I bet all of our opponents were happy Dak was injured and unable to play after Week 5 of the 2020 season. No one felt sorry for us.

Lol, exactly

 

[Pass2Run]

Around 48 hours.

I wasn't saying there's a definite correlation between him missing practice and PEDs, but I do suspect Brady is using PEDs. And has been for some time now. Probably HGH, EPO, most likely.

Except Aikmen played at a time when helmet to helmet contact on the Qb was an every game experience. Tom Brady is has been very well protected in his career.
