Уродство какое-то, из чего Брэди сделан? Чего так невезёт? В прошлом году колено, сейчас плечо, крап..

Tom Brady, who injured his shoulder in New England's preseason game against Washington last week, said Monday that he expects to play "this week, if Coach lets me."

Brady took a crushing hit from Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth and left the game at Washington. Patriots coach Bill Belichick said over the weekend that Brady had a sore shoulder, but was removed from the game so the Patriots could evaluate their backup quarterbacks.
"I have bumps and bruises," Brady said in his weekly appearance on Boston radio station WEEI. "It's a physical game. Like I said, I fell a little bit awkwardly, but I'm expecting to be out there and I'm expecting to play this week, if Coach let's me. We'll just see how the week goes."
Is there a chance Brady won't play?
"Well, I mean, there's a chance I won't make it down to the stadium in the next 30 minutes," Brady told WEEI. "... There's a lot of time before that game."
Brady said he's relying on the team's doctors and trainers, and that he's prepared to be hit in games. "I'm confident in the way that I train so I'm prepared for those," he said on WEEI. "Some of those you can't avoid, like last year, but it's really part, it's part of the job description. Anybody who plays this game needs be willing to play it less than 100 percent of perfect, which, after that first training camp practice, nobody is 100 percent."
Despite several questions, Brady wasn't any more forthcoming on his shoulder.
"What does it matter?" he said. "We don't play for two weeks. The reality is no matter what I say, you know, no matter how confident I am, we're just going to have to wait until Sept. 14, or hopefully, this Thursday, if Coach lets us play. I mean, traditionally, he doesn't let us play in this game, but if he wants me to play, I'll play."
