It amazes me why Brady was voted one of the most hated players when time after time Brady does things like this. Oh well. Haters can go suck it.

The middle and ring fingers on Tom Brady's right hand are taped together in this photo today https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...1062372.1073741910.42693447371&type=3&theater

And yet--no mention of any problem with the hand in the injury report.

I'm not sure what the rules state, but I would assume that Belichick doesn't necessarily have to include it on the report if it has not limited him in practice, although I could be incorrect.

Can't wait for the bye week this year.

Well, unless I'm missing something, the only reason you'd have two fingers taped together is if you strained one. And we did see Brady seemingly hurt his hand in the last game.

It's either the middle or ring finger from the looks of it - not sure which was strained. But if I'm not mistaken both of those fingers do play a role in producing spin on the ball.

But to the topic at hand - the good news is that Amendola himself, given his propensity for injuries, isn't on the Make-A-Wish dream come true list!

"Buddy taping" fingers/toes is often due to them being terribly swollen for one reason or another, and I believe that the report from the locker room the other day that Brady's finger was very swollen is true.

I don't believe that it's a "strain" per se, I believe that one of the 2 fingers is badly brusied/knocked out of place/etc (could be a "sprain.") It could also be in the joint underneath the finger itself too, which often happens to toes. Either way, it's obviously going to affect his throwing hand in a negative manner, and for it to be this swollen still a full week later isn't the greatest of signs--although it may subside within the next week or two very nicely just the same.

Like I said--the bye can't get here soon enough. We've got to get through these next 2 games and see what this team is made of, get people healthy and keep pushing on. Tomorrow's game is pretty big in my opinion, and my worry is that we won't have Talib either.
