Tom Brady blame game starts with Jinxele

Now that our football season is - for all intents and purposes - over, all that’s left on the Track’s to-do list is to quit our Fantasy Football league and to start playing the blame game.
Because when Tom Bradywent down in the first quarter of the first game, our first thoughts were NOT about whether or not Chiefs strong safety Bernard Pollardhad taken a cheap shot at the QB/QT’s knee. Nooooo . . . .
One word leaped immediately to mind: Jinxele!
Because, let’s face it, Brady’s had an incredible run of bad luck since taking up with supermodel Gisele Bundchen!
Shall we recap? Shortly after No. 12 dumped Bridget Moynahanand started seeing the Brazilian bombshell, the Patriotslost a devastating AFC Championshipgame to the hated Indianapolis Colts, who went on to win Super Bowl XLI.
A month later, Moynahan announced that she was pregnant and that Brady was the father. A tsunami of bad press followed and the man previously known as Tom Terrificbecame - in the eyes of many former fans - a deadbeat dad.
Brady ignored the backlash, established what seems to be a nice bond with his baby son, Jack, and was cruising to a perfect season. Unfortunately, a few days before Super Bowl XLII, The Franchise was photographed hobbling into Gi’s New York apartment with a cast on his foot. Then he went to Arizona and, well, why rehash that horror show???
Which brings us to this past off-season. Brady went on his usual tour of the world with Gisele, only this time, he neglected to return to Foxboro for the offseason conditioning program.
Brady, who had always won the front-row parking spot for his obessive training regime, didn’t hit the Gillette gym for the first time in his career. And here is where it must be pointed out that the key to avoiding ACL injuries is - you guessed it - working out!
“Athletes can reduce their risk of ACL injuries by performing training drills that require balance, power and agility,” says sportsmedicine.com. “Adding plyometric exercises, such as jumping, and balance drills helps improve neuromuscular conditioning and muscular reactions and ultimately shows a decrease in the risk of ACL injury.”
But instead of pumping iron in Foxboro, Brady went surfing with Gisele and suffered another mysterious injury. This time to his foot. Not only did he miss the preseason workouts, he also missed the entire preseason!
OK maybe Gisele can’t take all the blame for Brady’s run of bad luck - but wethinks it’s fair to say that Tom hasn’t exactly made football his No. 1 priority since hooking up with the glamazon GF!
And as long as we’re spreading the blame around, what about Bill Belichick??? Ever since the coach started letting his galpal Linda Hollidaydress him, he ditched the ratty hoodie and started looking less like a homeless man. The first time Bill sported the newer, cleaner look was Super Bowl XLII. The second was Sunday. Need we say more???
And let’s save some shame for Kevin Faulk, who was serving a one-game suspension Sunday after being caught with four joints at a Lil Wayneconcert in February. Think Kevin would’ve done a better job blocking Pollard? And BTW, Kev, Lil Wayne? Seriously????
And finally, as we are dragged kicking and screaming into the Matt Casselera, can we ask one final question: What’s Doug Flutieup to???
