Brady: ‘I’ll be ready to go’ for Super Bowl
January 27, 2008
New England’s star quarterback walked up the three short steps to the podium with ease Sunday night, (according to the associated press and ESPN) showing no signs of the right ankle injury that had become such a hot topic since he was spotted wearing a protective boot last Monday.
“It’s feeling good. I’ll be ready to go,” Brady said with a smile as the Pats’ met the media for the first time shortly after arriving in Phoenix.
Brady did admit that he was slightly injured.
“It was in the San Diego game, I think in the third quarter,” Brady said, referring the Patriots’ 21-12 victory last Sunday.
Since the injury Brady, probably gave some time to his girlfriend, I mean what else would there be to do?
“I’m not concerned about how it’s going to affect my play,” he said. “This won’t keep me out.”
The face of New England’s franchise reportedly has a minor high ankle sprain. He wore a protective boot on his right foot last Monday in New York while visiting supermodel girlfriend Gisele Bundchen, causing a major stir and concern among Patriots fans.
“I was just trying to get into the house as fast as I could,” Brady said. “I was trying to hobble along. It kind of caught me off guard.”
After returning to Foxborough on Wednesday, Brady wasn’t spotted by the media the next two days while reporters were allowed into the locker room and at practice.
“I was glad to be back in New England and in the insulated atmosphere of our locker room,” he said.
It sure wasn’t safe on the streets of New York for Brady.
“Yeah, it’s been an interesting week,” he said. “I’m much lighter on my toes than I thought.”
Brady also issued a playful warning: “Don’t any of you chase me around. I won’t be nearly as nice as I was last week.”
