Just heard on NFL Today .

Yeah, I just heard it too. Looks like the "anonymous source" is probably wrong once again.

I think it's clear at this point that Brady is doing fine and he's only "behind" relative to if he'd never had the infection. I wouldn't be shocked, nor concerned, if he has a little arthroscopic cleanup but Curran is alone on his island of concern and I'm not joining him.

I wouldn't be surprised. Curran seemed very defensive about his report when he was on WEEI. But I still stand by what I said earlier on this topic, Until I SEE Tom Brady running / walking around on the football field in training camp, I don't believe anything I hear or read.

Casserly pointed out clearly each facet of the injury and how it was doing. Dont know who his source is but hope its the correct one.

Seeing is believing for me. I don't think ANY media person has the real 411; some like Curran go the "anon source" route for their 15 minutes of fame and some pretty much just report what's coming out of the Pats/Brady's camp anyway so until there's something real and concrete I'll believe Brady's doing ok; no major setbacks and no major quantum leaps either.

I hope Curran's wrong, too, and from what I've heard/read since, it appears he likely is, BUT - Tom Curran is in no way the sort of journalist you're referring to. He is upstanding, responsible and hardworking.

I didn't say he wasn't, but if someone's going to publish something like that I think they need to be ready to back up their fries. jmho

Not only was Curran very defensive about his report on Pats All Access...he also did not mention his anonymous source at all...he said that he arrived at his conclusion based on "mathematical" logic. i.e. Brady had to be behind b/c of the infection etcetera. But we already knew that. Of course Brady is behind relative to if he had never had an infection. But Curran made it sound like it was new information and another setback in his article. I dont think he ever had a source. He thought he was being more clever than everyone.

I agree with your assessment of Curran. But he's still part of the media my friend. Sometimes even the good ones get it wrong.
It does not matter if Curran or Casserly is right or wrong. Until we see Brady running around in training camp all of these reports mean NOTHING, IMO.
