not saying its good news, certainly, but i'm sure brady was pissed. not sure it says anything about the extent of his injury.

I dunno... if you're worried you might have a season-ending injury, even hearing that you've got a sprain and will miss 4-6 weeks would probably be taken as "good news."

If there's yelling in the lockerroom after he's been examined, I think that's a pretty bad sign.

Just when I thought that I'd reevaluated the hold that the Patriots have on my life, and maybe become a bit more reasonable in light of the Super Bowl loss, this happens. I live on the west coast, so this happened at 10:30-11am my time, but you'd better believe that that did not stop me from going and getting aggressively drunk for the rest of the day. Brady had better be okay.

FWIW, my dad played D1 college football, and he suffered a freakishly similar injury to this one. I called him after the game, and he said that his guess is that it was a severely sprained ligament. He said that it kept him out of action for 3 weeks, but it still bothers him to this day. He thinks that they'll be careful with Brady, and that there's a very good chance that he'll be back after the bye. Considering the alternative, that's *great* news as far as I'm concerned.
