Brady hurt his hand and people are going nuts because rather than resting/icing/stem celling his hand the next day, as anyone would do, apparently he should have been aggravating it all day by gripping and throwing footballs. Wasn’t it a given he wouldn’t practice today?
One of the beat writers noted that Brady has had an issue with this hand during the season. On a related note, there are plenty of quarterbacks who play with actual structural damage on their throwing hands, much likely much worse than this. Icing, cortisone, and and adrenaline tend to make these things a lot better than the nightmare that plays through your mind, with a ball wobbling into the arms of idle linebackers.
Brady has played for 17 seasons. I’m sure he’s dealt with injuries all the time that we don’t even know about. My guess is he’ll be fine. Good opportunity to get the Patriots at -7.5, two points better than than the original spread, due to mass hysteria.
