Np, man! Im on my phone and dont know how to link a tweet!

Why would a dude who is the Head of Economics at Bloomberg know Brady's status? Brady doesn't even know his status yet. Wow people love to jump to false conclusions.

 

[jbug617]

Reports from the field.

@chatham58: #TomBrady 'injury' looked like a minor tweak seeing it LIVE. All appearances to my eye was his removal from practice was precautionary

@jeffphowe: This helicopter just arrived and the place is freaking out http://t.co/20Xkm2mq8W

Bloomberg news is reporting brady tore his acl and mcl..

@M_McDonough: NFL Football: Report: Brady tore ACL and MCL -via Bloomberg

Ding dong...

 

[LyleLanley]

Fuck this is terrible news. Has anyone else reported on the potential ACL/MCL tear?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Worst Tebow birthday ever.

That bloomberg report could be a load of bs. But it would be weird of them to run with a story like that only for it to be proven wrong a few hours later

Not yet. It's to early. We have to wait an hour or two.

That bloomberg report could be a load of bs. But it would be weird of them to run with a story like that.

It could end up being true, but there is simply no way they would have known that quickly. Especially with how secretive the Pats can be with injuries.

A helicopter landed at the practice field just now. Nobody knows why.

No, just that one guy

helping?

 

[squicken]

I'm not buying that tweet, but it takes a doctor 1 minute to diagnose an ACL tear. If you have ever torn your ACL and had a physical exam, you know this. What they need imaging for are patella tendons and the like and meniscus damage

 

[Dosia]

Fuck. hope its just a bruise or sprain.

 

[Starphoenix]

The irony of all of this transpiring on Tebow's birthday is just surreal. If it turns out Brady really did tear something, and Mallett is in who knows what condition...

Worst Tebow birthday ever.

He's going to be starting quarterback, I'm sure he's happy.

 

[captmcblack]

I'm going to lean on total okie-doke/minor injury until there's a more specific report.

Dwelling on helicopters and economist tweets is the same stuff that makes people think Lebron is coming to NYC because MSG stocks are randomly fluctuating.

I want no part of Mallet playing QB for the Pats. I would rather roll the dice with Tebow. Mallet is pure garbage.

So the bloomberg guy is now saying he's not reporting brady tore acl/mcl, just that others are. See: above screenshot. Strange.

I'M NOT ENJOYING TODAY!

Relax we still have Tebow. No need to worry

Brady is probably fine. No other site is even mentioning it besides he hurt his left knee.

 

[TheFatOne]

No need Pats have Tebow. But could I interest you in a Mallet for McCoy trade? Eagles need a QB Pats could use another RB. It's perfect. Win win

I'm not buying that he tore his ACL. I can't believe it and I hope its not true.

Well, at least Tebow does have some playoff experience... And it's not as though the AFC East is any more competitive than the AFC West, so I guess he could, theoretically, win the division...

This would concern me more than anything.

We got Barkley so no thanks.

 

[Hitokage]

Haha, there's a high chance this is just people looking for information and using old reports from 2008 when Brady tore his ACL and MCL, as reported by the Boston Globe at the time.

 

[jbug617]

@mikefreemanNFL: Pats team source: "Tell people to calm the f--- down. When there's something to announce, it'll get announced." #Brady

I'm sad.

Steelers/Tebow rematch!

 

[bionic77]

Practice is over now let's see if they say anything.

Yeah because the Pats are known for being open and honest about their players injuries...

And if Brady tore his ACL or MCL any doctor could tell in a second by a physical exam. Usually you fall down like you are shot when you hurt your ACL and then limp off a minute or two later. Did not see video so I can't throw my hat into the Internet detective ring.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I'm sad.

In a world where we expect instant access to any and all information, telling us to calm down until an official announcement is made? LOL. Someone will leak it to someone else before Kraft or Belicheat reach the podium.

 

[smokeymicpot]

I'm sad.

Just give us something though.

this is why it's really doubtful that he tore anything, the reporters said that he came back and threw a few more passes before leaving the field for good. no way he does that with a torn acl/mcl.

It's not irony or coincidence
