….Tom Brady in “My Right Foot.”

What a coincidence that on the same day as the Oscar nominations were announced, Tom Brady was cast to star in his first dramatic role? (Get it, cast…) We’ve all seen the headlines: “Tom Brady: Cast Away”; “Brady Spotted in Cast”; “Brady Gets the Boot.”

The headlines stem from pictures of the Patriots QB in New York with a wrapped up right foot. With the salacious headlines came the inevitable obsession over whether Brady’s foot would “heel” in time for the Super Bowl. (Get it, heel…) But did anyone stop for a second to the think that the QB was playing us all for fools?

The photos of Brady were taken during a well publicized playdate with model/girlfriend Gisele Bundchen. Thing is, he didn’t seem to need any cast help while he and his cuddle bunny were out club hopping later that night. Me thinks something scandalous is definitely “afoot.” (Btw, I’m on fire!)

When questioned about the cast, Brady reportedly told the paps “There’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl.” He then limped away yelling to the crowd “God bless us, everyone!”

Could Brady’s cast controversy (don’t you just love alliteration) be a possible attempt to throw Giants coaches off the track? Oh yeah, this dirty trick has Musty Sweatshirt Man written all over it. Nice try “Tiny Tom”, but the Chicks are on to you.

(I swear, if he weren’t so remarkably hot, we’d…we’d…well, we probably wouldn’t care as much.)
