Maybe I'm wrong but I have no doubt Brady was going to play at least some of the 3rd quarter. And the plan certainly wasn't for him to come out, throw some warmups, then go back to the locker room.

I didn't see Brady throwing any warmups after hafltime... If I saw that, I may have come to the same conclusion. I just replied cuz you said "we all knew". I'm just tellin ya that I didn't know

BTW, Welker was seen at practice yesterday. Players who are seriously injured and are not close to returning are rarely at practices. Even in street clothes.

He played in week 2 against the Bengals.

Every person I heard/read who is in any way close to the team said the plan was for him to play a LOT more than he did.

Regardless, he wouldn't have been in the locker room. That is the smoking gun that things did not go according to plan even in the unlikely event that he was supposed to be done at halftime.

Welker has been spotted at practice running on his hands and attempting to catch the ball with his feet. A new league rule is forcing the reciever's 'hand'. Put forth by Bill Polian, the "Welker Rule" (536-A) forces recievers from New England wearing either #83 or the word "Welker" on their jersey to catch the ball with their feet.
Fortunately, Belichick was ahead of the rule change and sent Wes to Clown College for the offseason. He not only can catch with his feet, but also juggle, and fit most of the special teams into a VW bug.

more on this story as it develops.

Given what we learned from the Ellis Hobbs III testimonies, it should be obvious that he is faking it. My speculation is that he is just dogging around and collecting his money.

I agree, and Haynesworth is actually a skinny guy in a fat suit.
