From Mike:
I believe Tom Brady's boot and ankle injury is a hoax. Brady is not hurt, but has been paid by Las Vegas, to wear this boot to raise questions about his health. Vegas and the odds makers want to stay away from the largest line in SB History and do not want everyone and their mother to take the Pats to cover.
Thus Brady is wearing the boot and not practicing when the media covers practice...the longer this farce continues, the more the line continues to drop, the more Vegas relaxes.
Did you really think Vegas is going to take a bath on the largest sports event in the world? It is a shame to what extent money influences American sports and an even bigger shame that Brady and Belichick would buy into it.
The PATS will cover, will go undefeated, but at a lesser line causing all those NYG supporters to lose money and like Jerry Seinfeld, Vegas will continue to break even.

This smacks to me more of Belichick pulling the ultimate "Brady's 45 consecutive weeks on the probable list" maneuver than any actual Vegas shenanigans.
Why would Brady risk tarnishing his golden boy image by accepting money for that? Or would that even be ethically questionable? It's like the anti-point shaving, right?
I say he maybe tweaked his foot, or maybe didn't, and Belichick said "wear a boot," because he knew the media would explode. Belichick pulls him out of any open practices because a) he's treating the first week after the AFC Championship as a bye week anyway and b) it will drive the media even MORE nuts
Where Mikey sees Vegas conspiracy, I see Belichick's ultimate revenge against the press for blowing up and villifying him for SpyGate when everyone does it.
Not that Vegas minds.
Whoa...major ombudsman alert!
" Brady is not hurt, but has been paid by Las Vegas, to wear this BOOK to ARISE questions about his health."
Seriously guys, if we aren't going to proof our own posts, then why are we even doing this?
Let's all try to remember that the "N" stands for knowledge here at the Norwood House.
