1/6 Brady's Presser Entrance

[RobertWeathers]

He's clearly still ginger on it. That's to be expected. He sprained his ankle a few days ago. The good news is no walking boot has been spotted yet. He needs to stay off of it and he should be good to go in a couple of weeks.

I'm sure he is sore but damn I couldn't tell....

 

[Froob]

Perhaps his buddy Peyton hooked him up. Looks good to go.

Biggest troll would've been him coming in on a wheelchair and going up a ramp to the podium...

This board would've exploded on fire.

He probably practiced that walk in and step up on the stage several times because he knew idiots like us would be dissecting it. Oh man, sometimes I wonder about my sanity.

You can if you've ever tried to not give away a sprained ankle or foot injury. That's what he's trying to do but you know (and can see, judging by how gingerly he walks on it) that he's still in pain. Like I said, it's to be expected. A sprained ankle hurts.

Exactly. He knew the media would be filming it and future opponents would be watching too.

Looks like he is wearing a brace on the right leg

looks like it could be an ice bag taped to his ankle.

Would have been awesome if he came in on crutches. I would laugh so hard.

It could very well be that too

Oh yea. Ive had a ton of sprained ankles and understand.

Just couldn't pick it up in the video clearly. I guess hes moving a tad slow. The issue is that I don't know his regular walk or gate.

Here's a transcript of what Brady was thinking walking to the podium:

Don't limp. Don't limp. Don't limp. Ow. Don't limp. Don't limp. Ow, Don't limp. Don't limp. Don't limp. Ow, Don't limp. Don't limp. Don't limp. Don't limp.

Gisele had him practice his strut on the makeshift catwalk in their bedroom. Maybe he put some wings on too.

this is the instructions BB wrote down

I freely admit that I watched it about 4 times and didn't notice a damn thing.

He should have waltzed in wearing those Forrest Gump leg braces and had a cane like "House" . That would have been hysterical. The internet would have broke.

I raise you a wheelchair or a rascal!

I think that's one of two times his pursuit of a personal life has hurt the team -- when he spent that time in a city where you walk a lot and he presumably didn't have access to the treatment sources he was used to.

It's very excusable -- he was wooing his future wife. Nobody (perhaps excepting military personnel and the like) is obligated to totally sacrifice their personal lives so as to be better at their job.

The other is even more excusable -- spending the offseason in LA to be with his son isn't as ideal as spending it nearer where most of his teammates live.

I don't begrudge Brady any personal time at any point, including going to NYC for a few days with a sore foot. He's sacrificed enough for the team and its fans.
