New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with what two sources described as a severe injury to his left knee, suffered in the first quarter of the Pats’ 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium Sunday.
While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, a source close to the quarterback indicated it involved serious damage to the knee. That could include a torn anterior cruciate ligament and perhaps other ligament and cartilage damage.
“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”
Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.

Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, presumably to undergo tests.
Fourth-year quarterback Matt Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his career before Sunday, replaced Brady and completed 13 of 18 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC, hasn’t been a starting quarterback since high school. He won a competition with Matt Gutierrez during the preseason to retain the job as Brady’s primary backup.

all i have to say is, karma is coming back around to the cheatriots.

 

[jchap]

OMG wow

Terrible for the Cheats. Their backups are horrible

 

[DeepBleu]

it's vinny time, or maybe pepper time.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I hate to hear that! I want to play teams with all their players so theres no excuses!!!!

 

[Danny White]

I snagged Matt Cassel already in my fantasy league.


Sucks for Brady... I feel badly for him. But no tears for the Pats. Lucky they have such a soft division and schedule... although I think the Bills could win the division now. Jets could be in the mix as well.

If true, huge blow to NE. I think the AFC just became a wide-open race for the SB - Chargers, Steelers, Colts and Patriots should all have a say before it is done.

There goes $400. :bang2:

 

[dargonking999]

Well looks like Chris Simms and Bollinger just got new job interviews

 

[Clove]

Don't like to see anyone get hurt like he did, I don't think this team will get much sympathy from around the nation.

 

[Sarge]

Culpepper to Moss?

 

[TheCount]

Culpepper to Moss?

Haha, well played sir. Well played.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Culpepper to Moss?

There goes one of my fantasy teams. Crap.

 

[Jimz31]

Let me check to see if my heart is breaking....Nope!

 

[Jimz31]

You guys took Brady over Romo? Suckers!

 

[Eskimo]

Culpepper to Moss?

No way Belichek brings on Culpepper.

 

[EveryoneElse]

I am skeptical about these reports coming out when an mri hasn't even been done yet. Heard it's scheduled for tomorrow.

 

[Disturbed]

We won't know until the Docs provide a report tomorrow.

But if out, and they can't cheat, it will be a long year for them. Better watch Bellicheat because he will start cheating again.........

 

[Kobal]

There goes one of my fantasy teams. Crap.

Yeah. So does mine.
