Tom Brady behind in recovery, could face a second surgery and another season off.

Even if Brady gets the scar tissue removed, regains greater mobility in the knee and is able to get the strength back in his quad, the looseness in the ligaments won?t go away without a second surgery, the source said. At this point, deciding to have that second surgery would cost him the 2009 season because a second surgery wouldn?t be recommended this soon after the first, especially with the current condition of the area.

If he doesn?t have a second surgery, he?ll almost certainly have to wear a brace on the knee when he returns and the area will be susceptible to another blowout, the source said

wonder if this injury will result in the end of Brady's career

Brady will be able to play again, but will he still have the same mobility and leg strength that he possessed before the injury?

I remember reading that Brady listened to his family instead of of his team's coaches and doctors in terms of who to go to for the initial surgery...anybody remember more about that? It's certainly coming back to kick him in the ass now.

Then again...Giselle...mmmm.

What if he DOES retire? He's already a lock for the HOF...

Two weeks ago we heard his recovery was ahead of schedule. I don't think anybody should be losing sleep over this story.

:confused: Giselle makes much more money than him.

It amazes me how many people don't know that. She made 30 mil last year, and will probably pass that this year.
