Tom Brady suffered a possible torn ACL in his left knee in the first half of the game vs. Kansas City. Bernard Pollard rolled up on his leg awkwardly, and Tom "ManPurse" Brady went down screaming like a $2 ho on a crack binge. Ok, maybe not quite like that.
It is highly likely that Brady suffered a torn ACL or even worse. A couple of reports out of the Pats locker room have already declared Matt Cassel the starter for the remainder of the season. Other reports have Chris Simms and Tim Rattay en route to New England for workouts with the team.
The playing field has just been leveled, gentlemen.

In other news, Jet Favre had a decent game vs the Dolphins, leading the Jets to their first victory of the season.
The Cowboys rolled on the Browns, the Eagles pecked the eyes out of the Rams very efficiently, the Panthers had a walk off TD vs the Chargers, that being the biggest Week 1 stunner of the day (who the hell is Donte Rosario? Most likely the waiver wire darling of the week in fantasy leagues everywhere)
The Seahawks became a victim of the Bills special teams, as Roscoe Parrish had the most exciting punt return of the day. Steelers slam dunked the Texans, and the Cardinals handled the 49ers.
Ocho Psycho was not allowed to wear his new name on his jersey vs. the Ravens, due to a mandate from the NFL. Something about the equipment contract the NFL has with Reebok, where Reebok would require compensation for all the Chad Johnson jerseys they already printed up. Ocho Psycho was also not allowed to be effective by the Ravens D, with only 22 yds receiving. Joe Flacco was pretty good in his debut as Ravens starter.
The Lions seriously underestimated Matt Ryan and Michael Turner. Turner "The Burner" ran all over the place for 220 yds and 2 TD's. Even I was surprised. I say to the Falcons offensive line, "Who are you? and what have you done with the real Falcons O-line? o.0" Falcons roll 34-21. Hold it....34-21? that sounds like the same score that I beat the Cadavers by in Week 2! Wow, what a coincidence!
Reggie Bush caught 112 yds worth of passes and a score to help the Saints squeak by the Bucs, 24-20. It might now be safe to put the "S" back on the front of the "Aints".
2 MNF games to be played tonight. Early game up is Vikes at Green Bay in the dawn of the Aaron Rodgers era. Do not start Ryan Grant if you can help it at all. Good thing I don't need him to perform on my cash league, I'm already a winner. The other game is Denver and Oakland. It will be interesting to see how Jay Cutler performs without Brandon Marshall, who is suspended for Week 1. I also have him going on my cash league, but as you already know, I don't need his stats.
