Brady Clears Air

Last week, Tom Brady had some remarks that confused a few reporters.  I didn’t really feel this story merited the red flag treatment it’s gotten in other media outlets, as the idea that a high-ankle sprain could legitimately affect a professional athlete from one season to the next was ludicrous to me.  However, some people took Tom Brady’s comments about limited mobility in camp because of his injury last year to be literal.  This has prompted Brady to set the record straight.  For anyone who is concerned, Tom Brady is fully recovered from his injury last season.

This story just speaks to the tension in the aftermath of SpyGate.  The media seems to be taking every little quote like it might be the end of the world.  They seem to still be in “the sky is falling” mode.  However, it appears to me that the Patriots are back to business as usual in their offseason, so it might be time for the local print media to chill out.  The scandals have subsided - at least for now.  Furthermore, there is no evidence leading anyone to believe there will be more scandals.  The Pats are ready to put the past behind them and focus on the future.
