I was thinking this same thing yesterday but I was hoping this whole situation was mostly a ruse. Someone spotting Brady 7 days after his last game and apparently still limping leaves me less inclined to think they're just messing with the Giants and the media.

That being said if the Giants start sending the kitchen sink after a supposedly hobbled Brady all it will take is for them to get burned once or twice to start backing off.

Ever wonder why Brady was NOT walking with a boot or any noticeable limp on the day AFTER the original "Bootgate" video??????
That thought occurred to me too. I really want to believe they are still messing with the media-Giants, I really do. But.....

Bootgate is a plain joke. Bill hates the media, what better way to screw with them?

I must be naive.

I got to tell you, I'm concerned. Its a week since the Pats played the Chargers and Brady is still limping and we do not know if he's practicing. According to Jaws, he hurt the ankle early in that game and his performance wasn't Brady-like. We may not see Tom at his best come Sunday. I don't know, no one here does, its all speculation, but it is officially a 'story'.

I'm not like "Holy crap the Pats are going to lose 'cause Cassel's going to play" or "OMG, I'm going to jump off the Tobin" but I am a bit concerned. (Let the bashing begin).

I doubt he was THAT upset...I think he knows the media in NY and how the paparazzi are...but GIVEN that..I am sure he will use that small bit of knowledge to his benefit.
So the Giants blitz more..do you think the pats will not GAIN a lot by that? Burn them? He will take every advantage there is and make it larger.

I think Bill is liking it because it gives the Giants one more thing to think about, and there is nothing worth worrying about for the ankle (according to Tom Sr.)

I think it ends up being a distraction for the Giants. It will be a wee, wee distraction because Tom Coughlin is no fool. He knows that Brady was walking on it in NYC, not the trainer's room, and he knows that Brady will be on the field in top form next Sunday.

Did I say "next Sunday"?

If the Giants spend a large chunk of their practice time on Cassel, their coaching staff isn't as smart as some people give them credit for.

Yup, that's next Sunday by which time if the ankle isn't feeling better than it has since he was 8, it will be medically made to feel that way. Yeesh...
