Tom Brady, undoubtedly still heavily medicated in the wake of Blowed-Up-KneeGate, is fully capable of sending e-mails, apparently. And if there were any concerns that the galaxy’s dreamiest quarterback wouldn’t rebound from this setback, well, he’s here to quiet the naysayers and evil-doers.
NBCSPORTS.com’s Tom Curran received a message from the Patriots’ quarterback early yesterday morning, and it was filled with Deepak Chopra positivity and perhaps more noteworthy, denial-fueled delusions.
The e-mail popped in at 5 p.m.
“It will all be OK. I’m excited to see what our team is made of … I still like our chances,” wrote Tom Brady.
Okay, hardly chock-full of Oprah-erific inspiration, but I appreciate the pithiness. And, truthfully, what else is he supposed to say? “Matt Cassel is, has been, and always will be a bum. He will singlehandedly drag this team to the depths of the AFC East. My lawyers are currently in the process of finding a loophole in the NFL rules that would allow me to return to the field in a wheelchair. This could happen as soon as Week 5. In the meantime, New England is a rudderless ship with Gilligan at the helm.”
Now it’s up to Cassel, who last started a game in 1999, when HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. Yep, no way this doesn’t work out because, after all, Bill Belichick is a genius. Just ask those Cleveland Browns teams he led to mediocrity back in the mid-’90s.

they still have one of the best: defenses, wide receiving cores, backfields, and the best coaching. they still play in the AFC East. They have an easy ass schedule. 10-6 would be a steep decline from 16-0, and 10-6 prob takes the division.
