NFL Super Bowl Betting: Brady Seen Wearing Protective Boot

What many assume will be a cake-walk Super Bowl just got a little more interesting.
While his Arizona-bound Patriots are strolling towards their fourth Vince Lombari trophy, superstar QB Tom Brady is walking. Gingerly.
Based on a video from TMZ.com, it appears as though Brady is wearing a protective walking boot, presumably from an injury suffered against the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship. The website caught Brady visiting girlfriend Gisele Bundchen hobbling the streets of New York. The Boston Herald confirmed the repot stating that Brady - carrying flowers for his supermodel beau - was visiting her apartment in the Big Apple and didn't make any swift cuts or jukes to avoid the paparazzi.
"Ah, you know, there's always bumps and bruises. I'll be ready for the Super Bowl," Brady joked with the paparazzi while hobbling along. "I'm not worried about that. I'm not missing this one. I'd have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It's nothing serious."
The news hadn't hit sportsbooks as of yet, or maybe they just don't care. Brady and the Pats are still 11.5-point favorites over the New York football Giants according to the Bodog Sportsbook.
