Does Brady miss a game in Dec around the 14th?
 

According to Mike&Mike this morning, Giselle is due mid Dec.

If the baby is born Tuesday through Fri - I say he plays.

If the baby is born Sat, Sun or Giselle goes into labor on Sunday for a Monday birth, he misses the game to be with her.

The reasoning behind this is that you know she will be in NYC (or CA?) for the birth - not MGH or Beth Israel. He will be there.

This reasoning indicates there is a 4/7th (57%) chance he misses a game.

If the 1 seed is on the line, will this bother you? If a perfect season is on the line, will it bother you?

What conditions would you excuse Tom if a situation came up where he couldn't/didn't want to play.

This is clearly different than the Pedroia situation as there are only 19 games (hopefully) not 162+ plus a 2B does not equal a QB for obvious reasons.

He starts, throws his 51st TD pass, leaves for the hospital.

He won't miss a game. This isn't baseball when the players go running home to mommy.

He is not going to miss a game for the birth

good question.

I based on Mike & Mike this morning. Podcast available ESPNRadio.com - ESPN.

She is definitely due during the season sometime since they probably didn't announce it to she was 3 months and there is no way it can stretch beyond +/- Feb 3 which makes the question relevant.

One lucky obstetrician.

would Pedroia even haved missed the game for it if there was not a complication with the pregnancy early in the summer?
I don't think he would have.

You can't blame a guy for wanting to be there but when there is that much money involved you also have to live up to those obligations to a reasonable degree.

Baseball has 162 games compared to football's 16, which makes it less of an issue if a player misses one game, or even a couple of games.
