The Facts: The New York Post has a picture of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, in what appears to be a walking boot. And TMZ.com has video of Brady limping in the protective device.

Diehards Line:The photo (which can be seen HERE) and video (which can be viewed HERE) were taken on Monday, the day after New England's AFC Championship win over the Chargers. During his weekly radio show on WEEI, Brady did not deny that he suffered some sort of injury during the game. "Ah, you know, there's always bumps and bruises. I'll be ready for the Super Bowl," Brady said, according to the Boston Herald. "I'm not worried about that. I'm not missing this one. I'd have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious. ..." Sounds reasonable enough, given the week off. Still, it's safe to assume we haven't heard the last of this one.
