The Boston Herald and Boston Globe had the photos - credited to infphoto.com - on their Web sites. A video of Brady walking with a slight limp from an SUV to girlfriend Gisele Bundchen's apartment in New York is available on TMZ.com.
"There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious."
This may be a huge 'psych'.
Looking at the photo it appears (to me) like he was not willing to let the 'cast' be readily seen. Is he trying to 'hide' the possible injury?
Or is it part of the grand plan to make him appear to have a weakness?
Trying to fiddle the point spread so they can 'cover' this one?
Hours after being photographed with a walking boot on his right foot as he followed girlfriend Gisele Bundchen into her New York apartment on Monday, other pictures showed the New England Patriots quarterback wearing black shoes — and no boot — when he showed up at a New York hotspot.(AP)
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick stayed true to form Thursday, refusing to discuss Tom Brady's health a few days after the quarterback was photographed limping through New York with a cast on his right foot.
"I don't have any comment on it. I don't have any comment on it," he said in a news conference before the Patriots held their first practice in preparation for the Feb. 3 Super Bowl against the New York Giants.
Will Brady practice?
"We'll go out there. I don't know," Belichick said with a grin, seeming to delight in being nonresponsive.
"The injury report will be out next Wednesday and we're excited to get that to you," he said to laughter from reporters, "filled out completely and I can't wait to get that to you because I know you're anxious for it."
For the second consecutive day, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasn't in the locker room or at practice when reporters and cameramen were allowed inside Friday.
That was my gut reaction too, Lori. (But I've been wrong b4)
The reason I tossed it up for debate is to see what others thought. (Try to keep an NFL fan quiet this time of year- right?)
Maybe we'll get someone on here that knows a guy that knows the guy that saw the x-rays?
HEY YEEMUM I'd say possum! I think he's using it as an excuse because he stunk it up so bad in his last game.
I'm not taking away from anything he's done this season but that was a bad game! Or the flip side he's trying to get more sympathy from other super models!!! LOL

What with the points starting at 13 or 14 (no way they could cover) maybe this is a fishing expedition to bring the line down?
Probably not... but it makes for great story line..
The supermodel angle... of course!
Thanks for stopping by- I had hoped to stir a debate.
YeeMum
An avowed Pats' fan here and even I'm not surprised by the subterfuge being created by Belichek. It's not as if we've not all seen this before ? Almost every week without failure over the last two years Brady's name has been on the Pats' injury list with some sort of ailment.
See my latest post as it deals with the travails of NASCAR and what coulsd end up being a real serious issure concerning the sport.

Let me know what you think as to the merits of the piece ? I'll look foward to reading your comments.
Or maybe it is something as simple as a heel bruise or a slight sprain, or a pulled muscle. Wow, maybe just what he said, a minor injury that is getting treatment. Wouldn't that be something if it wasn't some deep dark plot.
top~ Not a Pats follower, so I was unaware of the injury issues.[I'll have to stop by later]
Josh~ Could be just that.
I caught the story this morning, and since I didn't see it elsewhere , I thought there was enough food for thought to begin a discussion about it.
Spurcse~ No worry- I'm not a consiracy theorist- Seems I hit a nerve?
yeemum; i figured wackin bloggers was in poor taste, so instead i remembered what i did when i used to bet on figure skating and gave jeff a call. but once again he didnt do a good enough job, dam galuli, when will i learn?

Are any of them healthy this time of year? He probably has a slight sprain or a foot problem. I doubt it will hinder his play at all. He's tougher than he looks.
I'd put the seriousness of the boot issue right up there with the fact that he's been listed as questionable since week one. Yet it's fodder for reporters and Vegas no doubt.
I'd say legit. How serious?? Unknown. One must replay the Charger game and see how he landed on the booted leg/that would give a clue. One can clearly see the injury to Penguin Crosby in film/video clips. Prolly be able to discern same from clips of Brady. Didn't he go down couple times?? Time will tell.
Avid NASCAR fan. .I am generally quite friendly, and I don't bite (much).
- I like comments, I bet you do too. So I will comment.
I am not here for a pat on the head, however, I would like a wee bit of a comment if you happen to read anything I write.
