Noooooooooooooo!!

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Reigning NFL MVP Tom Brady left Sunday's game against Kansas City after being hit on the left leg, depriving the New England Patriots of the quarterback who last season led them to a 16-0 regular season and their fourth Super Bowl in eight years.

Brady, who has started 128 consecutive games, went to the turf clutching his left knee midway through the first quarter when he was hit in the pocket by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard. After being tended to on the field, he walked off, limping, between two trainers.

Brady, 31, went to the locker room and was not seen again on the sideline as backup Matt Cassel [who bundchen has not YET dumped brady for] led the Patriots to a 17-10 victory. The two-time Super Bowl MVP was not available for comment after the game, and coach Bill Belichick said he had nothing to add to the in-game announcement that it was a knee injury.

UPDATE:

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Bledsoe was injured and Brady stepped up. Okay, this crap can happen twice, right? Brady's out and now Cassel (is that even his name?) is up... ehhh, fingers are crossed (and Joe can kiss fantasy football goodbye--he is totally in mourning). I blame it on bundchen.

From Yahoo News:

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to a source familiar with the injury.
While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.
“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”
