Is Tom Brady faking injury?
He has been seen wearing a cast and then later in the same day not wearing it.
The Pats are a cheap team. Infact Brady is always on the Injured list but never shows any side effects. Two years on the injured list, Sore Right shoulder.
I think it would be just like them to fake a foot injury to make the Giants prepare for two QBs instead of one.
Tom Brady is a puke, I hope the Giants stick it to the Pats

The only way the Patriots could use Brady's "inujury" to their advantage, is if the Giants go into the game initially thinking they could not beat them unless Brady is injured. Why? Because they will loose focus. At least that's the attempt by the Patriots. But you and I both know that the Patriots are a shame to the whole sports world, so their scheme is irrelevant. I love sports, and I always will!! Yes, women can love sports too! I will always love a good match, but I truly hope that my Giants will once again rewrite history like we did in 1991 against the Bills. We were the underdogs and a young man by the name of Jeff Hostetler led us to a championship WIN!!!!! and Mr. Manning will take us back yet once again!! GO GIANTS!!

Kinda reminds me of when Terrell Owens was so hurt he wasn't supposed to be an impact., than he caught an amazing touchdown pass in the first quarter two weeks ago.
Or last week in green bay the giants heated bench malfunctioned, the guys on the sidelines were bundled up under blankets shivering, while green bays worked perfectly.(surprise)
Alot of teams do this, but it isn't going to work, the G-men are going to play the patriots the same regardless of who they have at QB
The giants like being the underdogs, it takes alot of the pressure off.
And I think the patriots are more scared of the giants than vice versa,
Bady will play 100% healthy and he'll have a great day against the giants banged up secondary. Unless webster Has another good game or the giants front four manage to get pressure on brady.
It's gonna be decided in the trenches, one of the best offensive lines (pats)against one of the best defensive lines (g-men)
Should be a great game, way more fun to wach than the packers getting creamed would have been :)

I think it's just a psych out thing. If the Giants think that Tom Brady, the Pats main weapon, is injured they can go into the game thinking about a whole new game plan. The Pats are a cheap team and they will do anything to WIN, even if it is something as little as Tom Brady pretending to have an injury. I think he is faking it.

What good would that do? Seriously.
Think the Giants are not going to fully prepare for Brady being 100%...of course they will.
The only way the Pats could use a Brady injury to their advantage would be to say he is fine...when he is not and then start Matt at the last minute.
But even this would not really help...if the Giants are fully prepared for healthy Brady, I am sure they could handle Matt.
Fake just makes no sense....I am sure he is hurt....and I am sure he will play and be fine.

How about Rivers, "doubtful", Gates "Doubtful", oh, and LT, he's just fine...in fact, he'll be back on the field in no time, he's just taking a breather.....
Brady says he'll be fine... his dad says he'll be fine... if you or the press doesn't want to believe it, who's fault is that?
By now every team knows to prepare for Brady to be in the lineup, regardless of what any injury reports say.
The Giants are not stupid enough to believe that Brady is not going to start in the Super Bowl..and if they do fall for it, serves them right..
But they will spend 100% of their preparation time assuming that Brady will start...
btw, this sure got the press off Randy Moss' back, didn't it? How gullible can sportswriters be? That's way you can't take any ESPN reporter seriously. They don't know jack

I dont see why he would fake it... but knowing the Pats they just might be if it disturbs the Giants any.... either way Brady will be playing. Giants have alot to prepare for either way, PATRIOTS ALL THE WAY!!!

Yes, it is a mind game. EVERY team is doing this when the quarterback playing is questionable. In the Patriots case, they hope teams see this and blitz more. These defenders are typically picked up by their outstanding o-line and allows the receivers more open space. It plays right into the Patriots' hands.

oh yeah cuz tom brady just wants that much more attention! ha! if he was wearing brace thenhe needed it. doesnt mean anything more than that. press just needs to go on and on about cuz they have nothing better to do. He is one of the toughest players out there. and i am sure giants will be prepared however they need to be.

nope, just the media talking things up...Brady has always had a bad shoulder..he is always listed because Belichik got burnt once for not turning in an injury report so he lists everything now

i wouldnt put it past the cheater coach to be playing mind games. the fact is, all the pressure is on the patriots to win. they are supposed to be unbeatable, the giants werent supposed to even get past tampa and they have been the underdogs ever since. i think the giants are going to pull of the greatest upset in nfl history. they have been finding ways to win. put them against the Cloverfield moster and the Giants would win. go giants!!!!!!
