Bootless Brady Off to Arizona

Posted Jan 27, 08 9:44 PM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – There's been a Tom Brady sighting—and this time he was neither limping nor wearing a boot. The star quarterback and his teammates today took part in a pep rally at Gillette Stadium before leaving for next week's Super Bowl XLII in Arizona. Today he proclaimed himself ready to play, certainly to the delight of Pats fans everywhere.

"We're going to Arizona for one reason...to bring the trophy back to Foxboro," said Gisele Bundchen's boyfriend, whose health has been the focus of media attention for days. A photographer spotted him limping near his home Saturday but Brady apparently slept off whatever ailed him. Thousands braved lousy weather to cheer on the football juggernaut that's chasing a perfect season.

    1958 Classic Still Rings True Pigskin was served up differently 50 years ago, and Atlantic scribe Marc Bowden learned just how differently by watching the 1958 New York Giants-Baltimore Colts classic with current Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid. “You can’t even do that today," Reid said of the Colts' first play. “You have to have some guys on the line of scrimmage.” The game was also quicker—with no pauses for commercial breaks—and plays were simpler.
