Holley was saying Wendi Nix clarified her statements and said the Patriots were supportive of Brady even though he didn't use the doctors they suggested. Also that the Patriots medical team is getting involved and that they are working together. So it isn't like the Patriots are mad.
not everyone has issues with ESPN, but it does seem like most people on here do
Interestingly, Carroll also said on WEEI that Dr. James Andrews once told him (Carroll) that whenever he (Andrews) has a knee question, he also calls the doctor who performed Brady's procedure. That's good enough for me. I believe you can listen to the interview on the WEEI website.The medical expert, Will Carroll, that is on WEEI right now is stating that this story is probably overstated. He saying these additional procedures could be nothing more than injecting a needle into the knee to flush out the ACL. He thinks that it isn't as big of a deal as it is being reporting. He thinks there is a chance of the doomsday scenario that he will have to have the surgery redone, but even then he could be ready for the start of the regular season next year.
He also says that Brady's doctor is one of "top 5 guys in the world", was the Rams' team doctor when they were in LA, and the guy he always turn to when he needs advice on knee injuries.
Well, there are others that are at the top of the Orthopedic food chain, but those are two very well known physicians. I remember when I had my injury, almost 20 years ago, and I went to one of the very best Orthopedic doctors in the country for a consult. I forget his name because it was just a consult, but he was based in Boston. Unfortunately for me, there was just nothing they could really do at the time, but Brady doesn't have that problem.
Brady's got access to pretty much every doctor, and to the very best care, in the country, so people need to just relax. Panicking before there's a need to panic is a waste of mental energy.
The Herald sucks. Stop posting links to the Herald. If you have to read that rag and talk about it, summarize what they said in your own words. Thanks.Anyone read the article in the Herald
I agree. Wait until March or April before getting bent out of shape. There is no reason to be concerned at this point.Get a grip.....
Well...I would agree in the perspective of that...NOT to get TOO concerned....but still keep an eye on it..especially since there is some infection...monitor it..just to be sure..but worry?? I think it's overblown and the downa*** ESPN and Herald are just doing what they do best..fear mongering..and trying to find ways to down the Patriots and to try and cause rifts that are not there.. THAT to me is what is so damning.. It's DONE WITH an agenda...and Florio spotted that..and called ESPN out on that.I agree. Wait until March or April before getting bent out of shape. There is no reason to be concerned at this point.
Someone who had the same procedure as Brady did for the same football-related injury (at the NCAA level) by the same doctor told me unequivocally that Brady would be ready by camp next year. Of course, the news about the infection hadn't come out yet by then, but because of the amount of time to recover, I don't foresee it being a problem.
Well, look at it this way. Say he has to have the surgery redone again in January, he would still have the same timetable as Philip Rivers had this year. Rivers didn't have his surgery until late January and was in camp on time. Say after six weeks, they decide to redo the surgery, Brady would still be 4-6 weeks ahead of Rivers in terms of timetable.

rivers had only a partially torn acl, which explains why he played in the AFC championship game. TB had a fully torn ACL and MCL.
