Super Bowl 42: Foot and Mouth Concerns
By: TOMEII W

It seems like foot and mouth disease has been the subject of a lot of focus for Super Bowl 42: The foot of QB Tom Brady and the big mouths of some of the Giants. Patriots coach Bill Belichick is always hush-hush about injuries, even minor ones. His thinking is not to let the opposition know anything, no matter how minute. He would rather force the other team to prepare for every player, rather than let the opponent know who's in and who's out. Yes, it's a bit Nixonian in its secrecy, but Belichick is a guy who looks for every possible way to gain an edge on an opponent and the injury list is one.

As I see it, the problem with Brady's foot is no problem at all. He was seen limping around outside his Boston home last week and videotaped wearing a protective boot. However, it was so minor he played the entire AFC Championship game with no mobility problems. It wasn't until after the game that he wore the boot. This week Brady said, "It's feeling good. I'll be ready to go."

There's no reason to doubt him or, more importantly, to factor a Brady foot injury into your handicapping for the big game. Brady has admitted over the years that he's a fast healer. He never misses games. Back in January of 2002 he was knocked out of the AFC Championship game with a high ankle sprain in the second quarter. QB Drew Bledsoe had to finish the game, leading New England to a 24-17 win at Pittsburgh.

That week there was all kinds of speculation as to who would quarterback the Pats. In fact, because of the terrorist attacks the previous September, that NFL season had only one week to prepare for the Super Bowl, not the usual two weeks like this one. Brady still was able to play and had no problems with his mobility, even winning MVP as the Pats upset the Rams 20-17. His ankle injury was far worse then and he only had one week to get ready between games. The bottom line: Brady should be fine for this game.
