Deadspin
Tom Brady WILL be at the dance tonight, girls. He WILL be there. I'm paraphrasing Bill Murray in Meatballs, but you get the picture. So, Brady's "high ankle sprain" is not as serious as many believed (hoped?) ... unless they're now making walking casts in pointy-toed dress shoe designs. He showed up at Butter with Gisele in New York on Monday night with no protective boot ... ahhhh, just let the Boston Globe tell it (waves arm in disgust).
Brady has a high right ankle sprain, according to an NFL source, which explains why he was wearing the device during a visit to New York. The sprain, which is minor, will not jeopardize Brady's chances of playing in Super Bowl XLII Feb. 3, the source said. "It is a way to rest that body part and prevent the normal movement that goes on with everyday walking," said Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, who serves as an orthopedic consultant to the Philadelphia 76ers. "That allows things to settle down because it's protecting that area and preventing the motions. Not knowing the specifics, it looks to me that they just wanted to put it to rest for a day or two."
Brady's father, Tom Brady Sr., then shed more light on the situation.
"If he had to go out there with two crutches and a cast on each leg, he is playing," Brady Sr. said. "He won't voluntarily walk off the field. Anybody that thinks a little tweak is going to stop [him] is just wasting ink."
Yes, we hate wasting ink here. I love dads; they're so Now.
And here's exciting video action of Brady walking!

Mr. Marinovich approves of Brady Sr.'s handling of the situation.
I don't care if you're on crutches, get out there and play, pussy!
Alright, virgins to the left, non-virgins to the right.
You guys split 'em up however you want.
This is the third picture in 24 hours related to this couple that involves flowers. Me thinks Tom Brady is just a girly-man who likes to throw some balls around.
The real story that TMZ is reporting is that Brady was visiting a hair restoration clinic, but THAT'S not something our liberal media will report.
I don't think the NFL will let him play with two crutches. That's illegal shit, cheaters
This whole ridiculous story is being completely powered by those fatcats in the foot fetish industry.
Grow hoof, grow.
So you went and broke your neck. Lay down and take a nap, you simple bastard! I know it hurt, I know it hurt!
Doesn't he go anywhere without that dame?
When you wear Stetson cologne...injuries just magically heal.
I'm sorry but is there a black dude in the background with a dinosaur/tortoise hat on his head or are my eyes messed up?
My girlfriend keeps trying to get me to go to Butter. I'm lactose intolerant so we stick to the resto next door, Oleo.
Because I'm sick of "Brady News" I want to talk about "Meatballs". It was good, but it was no "Meatballs 4". I became a man the night that came on Skinemax; thank you Cristy Thom.
@Stay Away From Oprah:
They're also reporting he stole said crutches from Ned.
Tom Brady is jealous of Brady Quinn's Award!
During the 6PM Sportscenter yesterday, Jaws went over the game film of the Charger game like it was the Zapruder film trying to pinpoint when Tom hurt the ankle.
"Back and to the right"
I think I'd really enjoy seeing him play with two casts and crutches.
Does the cast prevent Brady from waking on water?
@Rob Iracane: I take my wife to "I Cant Believe its Not Butter" aka McDonald's
Brady injured his foot trying to give that guy in front of him a flat tire.
@Rob Iracane:
You can hardly tell the difference except for the diarrhea you may have later on.
I'm glad Brady switched from his Unabomber with Bodega Flowers outfit to the slim fit overprice jeans.
"That allows things to settle down because it's protecting that area and preventing the motions. Not knowing the specifics, it looks to me that they just wanted to put it to rest for a day or two."
Same reason why Michael Strahan is sitting on a traffic cone all week.
What we really want to know: Was that a Boot by Victoria? Maybe he's demoing a new line. Did anyone think of THAT??
"If he had to go out there with two crutches and a cast on each leg, he is playing," Brady Sr. said.
That's right, Brady will even take the elevator to get in that thing... He wants to meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more.
@Weed Against Speed: Hey-oh!
@Jack Cobra: I was trying to figure that out myself. Looks like the lovechild of a Super Mario character and Chief Wahoo. (The mascot, not the commenter, although, I have no idea what the gentleman actually looks like, so that could be fairly accurate either way.)
@The Teufel Shuffle: Ill-fitting overpriced jeans. There's no reason a man like that shouldn't be sexy in a pair of jeans. His just...aren't.
Hey Tom,
We have so much in common. My Dad thinks I am great, too. Call me. Let's hang out.
Brady's just like a little Rory Calhoun, what with all the standing and walking.
Troy Brown should really take off that ridiculous novelty football hat.
Shoulda been you, Tony Eason
@Rob Iracane:
I prefer Margarine, it's less pretentious.
Brady is talking to a medical consultant for the 76ers? Excuse me while I call my bookie to put it all on the Giants.
Brady: "I think I am just going to chill out with my girlfriend for the off days."
Romo: "Whatever you do, keep it quiet. You know how the media gets about these things."
Brady: "Dude, its not like I am going to a secluded resort in Mexico. I am going to chill in New York City. Is the NYC media interested in little old me and my girl friend?"
Romo: "No. Should be cool." Snickers...
Say what you want about the jeans...I'm still trying to figure out if the guy beside him is wearing just socks or reallllllllly white shoes.
@The Teufel Shuffle: Are all of Brady's jeans dad-jeans by default? Discuss.
Bye week with famous ladyfriend in New York vs. Bye week with famous ladyfriend in Mexico: discuss.
"Tom Brady should be gellin'."
/Dr. Scholl's
A standing and walking quarterback? The Chargers will take one!
@Civil_Negligence: Maybe he's just trying to get some weed.
"If he had to go out there with two crutches and a cast on each leg, he is playing. You're gonna hack it or pack it!" Brady Sr. (fka The Great Santini) said.
@Jefferson Short Bus:
He should go to the medical consultant for the Phillies then, I'm sure he still has some of Freddy Garcia's stash.
Is Gisele the "little tweak" his dad was referring to? That's not very nice.
Dramatic New Picture Surfaces Of Tom Brady Doing The Electric Slide
@tickenest: + 101 greyhounds
@ClueHeywood: The chances of contracting dysentery are roughly equal.
@tater: That's just pap-flash white. He's rockin his kicks.
Meanwhile, that same night, Belichick was schtuping some Jersey MILF in a motel somewhere near the Tick Tock Diner.
"The Tom Brady Story" Directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Brady is reportedly borrowing Tomlinson's dark visor for the Super Bowl, but won't be borrowing Rivers's ACL
Do Archie and Tom Sr. have a bet that the father of the boy who doesn't win has to mow the other persons lawn in his wife's best sunday dress?
@UkraineNotWeak:
I wonder what Belichick's post-sex conversations are like.
"Well the difference this week was really the vagina."
Has Tom Brady ever actually seen or spent time with the bastard that he sired?
Can't an MVP quarterback and his supermodel girlfriend go to an exclusive night club in the media capital of the world without drawing some attention?
@SpecialKay: Does the cover of Us magazine count?
