No Brady against Bucs tonight

Oh well.

Tonight's game apparently will be a little less interesting. NFL Network and the Boston Globe report Patriots quarterback Tom Brady didn't make the trip to Tampa, remaining in New England to rest a foot injury that sidelined him a week ago against the Ravens. It was thought this might be a nice test for the Bucs' starting defense, but Brady's anticipated absence obviously makes it less so.

Brady is expected to be fine in the long term. This is just a precaution it seems. Backup Matt Cassel will likely get the start.

Don't expect too much. They are searching for depth and will undoubtedly play an odd combination of players through the game.

Glad the Bucs and the NFL hung a full priced ticket on me in my season ticket package that went up over 30 percent.
