Rumor: Tom Brady suffered a setback recently - New England Patriots Forums

billdog3484 · 02-04-2009, 02:00 PM

Mike Francessa reported on 660 WFAN New York today at around 1:05pm that he was told Brady suffered another setback earlier this week. He said that doctors are the ones who told him this. I have been trying to find other sources to confirm this, but have not found any. He did not say what type of setback, or how severe a setback he suffered if he did in fact re-injure himself.

It is clear to me now, that there is no way we are letting Cassel walk. I said it a few weeks ago and got ripped apart, but if this is true, it is obvious Cassel will be on our roster.

I don't know who this WFAN guy is, so I'll take it as suspect info for now. Some random guy on WFAN would be the last to know, I would think. Why on earth would Brady's doctors tell him anything?

As much as I have issues with Francessa he's not exactly a random guy.. he's very knowledgeable about all things NFL and seems to have alot of inside info..but.. he hates BB and all things Pats so he would relish reporting this sort of news

Does anybody know who this guy is a fan of.It sounds like another report from a Jets fan that is trying to stir up the possibility that Brady might not be ready

WFAN = one of New York's two main sports stations (the other being ESPN 1050). Francesa is their lead guy (he has a Sunday night show on NY's NBC station).

That said, with all due respect to the OP, I'm not buying this, for two reasons:
(1) Why aren't they talking about this over on JESTInsider.com? They should be positively salivating.
(2) This thread.

the rotowire report is from 2/1, thats 3 days ago. Francessa seemed to think it happen in the past few days.

Francessa is one of the more respected radio hosts in the country.

3 days ago and the past few days are the same thing.

Do you have link to audio or a transcript?

So it'd be like the Big O breaking injury news on Brady? I'm not buying it for now. If we're going to be negative about, Curran's report has much more validity than the WFAN guys rumor.

no. i was in the car listening. he basically was saying it's horrible for the NFL to have a player like this injured. he definitely said what i posted.
