Do you believe it's silly because (a) Brady's voice is not evincing tension or (b) tension in a voice is not indicative of pain?
If (a), I concede it is possible I am mis-hearing it.
If (b), true, there are other causes for that kind of tension in a voice. Maybe Brady is upset by other things. Maybe he has pain not from the injury.
However, you must concede that significant pain does affect a person's voice (well, you don't have to concede it, but it is factually true). So tension in a voice is not proof of pain, but it is evidence of pain.
One more thing. Brady is rightly proud of his physical resilience and mental toughness. But it is an inexorable and undeniable fact that applies to all human beings: as we get closer to middle age, we simply don't have that physical resilience we had when we were younger. We might feel "young" in some sense, but at some point, the human body just does not recover from insult like it once did. This is no animadversion directed at any mental resilience of Brady, simply a biological fact, one which no regimen of diet or supplements or working out or anything else can avoid.

I'm concerned Brady was hurt on the Hardy tackle. The reasons for my concern are these:
- The tackle looked like it would injure a player, particularly a 38 year old man.
- I don't think Brady did much after the play.
- I heard tension in Brady's voice in post-game interviews, a tension that is often an effect of dealing with pain. I noticed this in Brady's post-game interview and in his long interview on WEEI, http://media.weei.com/a/109974676/tom-brady-defends-alex-guerrero-10-12-15.htm .
1) He's fine.
2) He went 10-11 for 165 yds and a TD in the 2nd half.
3) You're ridiculous.

Can we not all admit that Brady took a shot and got up wincing? I mean, we all saw what we saw. He rarely shows pain.
There's a chance he'll be listed on the injury report.
For 56 years...Right shoulder, probable.
