Sports: Tom Brady’s surgeon thinks he’s an amazing in be … er, rehab

  • With regard to his recovery of strength, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. With an average person, it would have taken probably twice as long to get range of motion and strength back.
  • Dr. Neal ElAttrache • On his star surgery subject’s speedy recovery from a catastrophic knee injury last season. Brady, who previously led the New England Patriots to an undefeated regular (but not full) season, had his knee ganked in the first game of last season, and his backup, Matt Cassel, didn’t screw up too bad while papa bear was gone. • source

Sports: The Broncos messed with Jay Cutler too much. Now he wants out.

  • He asked for a trade. The Denver QB was upset by a number of things, including the way that the team took a good long look at current Chiefs QB Matt Cassel when he got traded from the Patriots, despite the fact that Cutler is arguably better. But the kicker was a meeting that went poorly with coach Josh McDaniels. “So, I get it, really, it’s a business,” Cutler said. “I’m disappointed beause I love being a Bronco but I think it’s run its course.” source

Sports: You’re good Matt Cassel, but you’re no Tom Brady. See ya!

  • The replacement QB got traded to Kansas City. Cassel, formerly of the New England Patriots, spent years waiting in the wings behind Tom Brady, and he finally had his chance to prove himself after Brady had a knee injury. And he did, leading the team to a solid season and getting 21 TDs in the process. But that solid season didn’t compare to Brady’s epic, near-undefeated 2007. So off to the Chiefs (with Mike Vrabel) he goes. source
