Quarterback Tom Brady was injured in the first game of the season. His suffered an injury to his knee when his New England Patriots were playing the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.

The pundits on NBC, namely Bob Costas, have quoted their sources as reporting that Brady will likely be out for the year. At the very least, according to Costas, he will be out for some time.

Granted, this is speculation, but the parties involved are knowledgeable and reputable.

Does this mean that Tom Brady is going to become a Stay-At-Home-Dad this football season?

Updated: The results are in. Brady is out. Tough blow to the Patriots and Fantasy Football owners. At least Brady has a full year to recover.

Tony Gonzalez' Best Play: The Heimlich Maneuver

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:25:00 GMT

I don't know a thing about football, but something tells me new dad Tony Gonzalez just scored another touchdown. A California man says the Kansas City Chiefs tight end saved him from choking to death.

“Tony saved my life. There’s no doubt,” says Ken Hunter, who was dining in a Huntington Beach restaurant on Thursday night when he began choking on a piece of meat. “Tony came up behind me and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. Thank God he was there.”

Gonzalez was dining at the next table with his wife, brother and 5-week old daughter when he heard Hunter's companion yelling for help. “She was screaming, ‘He can’t breathe, he can’t breathe,”’ Gonzalez said in a phone interview. “The whole restaurant was quiet. Nobody was doing anything.”

"Then I saw he was turning blue. Everybody in the restaurant was just kind of sitting there wide-eyed.”

Gonzalez jumped out of his chair and began performing the Heimlich maneuver on Hunter. “After just a few seconds, the piece of meat popped out,” Hunter said. “I could breathe again. It’s a good thing Tony is so tall because I had stood up — I think.”

Hunter, a longtime Chargers fan, was asked by a reporter how he would react if his favorite team were up against Kansas City and Gonzalez was poised to catch what would be the game-winning touchdown.

“I’m going to be yelling for Tony to catch the ball,” an understandably grateful Hunter said. “I think all my friends will understand.”

Sports Talk: Casey Wiegmann and Survivor Wife Danni Boatwright Welcome Baby

Is an NFL game considered reality television? It has got to be less scripted than Survivor.

This couple might know, but they probably don't care too much right now. Kansas City Chiefs player Casey Wiegmann and his wife Survivor winner Danni Boatwright welcomed a new baby boy last week.

In case you're wondering, I couldn't find a picture of the couple together so I went with the pretty one. I think I made the right choice.
