Brady done for the season

Tom Brady is out for the season.

It’ll be interesting to see how Matt Cassel handles this new role, having only thrown 33 passes in college and having only attempted 39 passes in the NFL prior to this season.  My guess is that he won’t be given much of a chance, since the Pats have Chris Simms and Tim Rattay set up for tryouts this week.  Really though, this just means that the Patriots won’t be near the juggernaut that they were last year.

But on the upside, Brady now gets to spend more time with Gisele Bundchen.

Brady finally practices; should play on Sunday

Tom Brady says he’s ready to go for this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.  In fact, Brady said he “could have played in all four exhibition games”, but apparently decided to rest instead.  Probably a wise decision.

This is obviously good news for the Patriots.  As I heard on PTI last night: The Patriots without Tom Brady are like… the Kansas City Chiefs.  Since he’s started 127 straight games, it’s hard to know for sure if that’s accurate, but it sounds about right to me.

The top 10 steals in draft history

NFL.com has put together a list of the 10 biggest steals in NFL draft history. They don’t specify if the list goes from 1-10 or 10-1, but here it is:

  • Tom Brady – 6th round – 2000
  • Joe Montana – 3rd round – 1979
  • Terrell Davis – 6th round – 1995
  • Deacon Jones – 14th round – 1961
  • Dan Marino – 1st round – 1983
  • Bo Jackson – 7th round – 1987
  • Shannon Sharpe – 7th round – 1990
  • Ray Guy – 1st round – 1973
  • Larry Wilson – 7th round – 1960
  • Roger Staubach – 10th round – 1964

The Bo Jackson entry is a bit shady, since he was the first overall pick the year before and simply didn’t sign a contract. Otherwise, it seems pretty solid.
