TOM BRADY and PEYTON MANNING

TOM BRADY
Quarterback Tom Brady practiced with the New England Patriots for the first time yesterday since suffering a season ending knee injury in last year's opening game. Brady and nearly the entire team participated in the first of four days of this week's organized team activities, Patriots spokesman Stacey James said. The first three days of OTAs were held last week for young players and others signed as free agents in the off season who needed more time to get used to the playbook. About 50 players, roughly half the team, took part in those. The sessions are voluntary The Patriots plan a total of 12 OTA days, two fewer than the maximum allowed by the NFL. Players do not wear full pads.

PEYTON MANNING
All Peyton Manning wants from the Indianapolis Colts is a game plan. It may take the team a little longer to satisfy the three time MVP. The front office is trying to determine how retired assistants Tom Moore and Howard Mudd will fit into this season's coaching plans. Manning, who usually toes the company line, would like a better understanding of what to expect. "Somebody says one thing, then somebody else says another thing," he said yesterday after a minicamp workout. "I'm not sure everybody's on the same page in this building. I'm just trying to focus on playing quarterback well."

**Sounds like one QB is just happy to be on the field again and the other OB is not happy with the leadership of management.

I think Brady bounces back big time this year. Pats still like to throw the ball alot and with the addition of Joey Galloway to stretch the field, guys like Moss and Welker will have monster years this season. Manning will put up his numbers though. The Colts also have no running game, and with Dungy gone, I think they open things up a little bit more.

Brady is still not working in pads,or taking any contact. I want to see what his injury did to him mentally. You just never know with these QB's.

My understanding is that Peyton and Tom Moore (offensive coor) were very tight. With Moore retiring, he doesn't feel comfortable with developing situation. May be wrong but Manning will miss Moore.

Protecting Brady will be No. 1 priority this season!!

There are exceptions to every rule. But generally you can tell alot about someone's mental toughness and state by their life off the field. For example keeping out of trouble, stable life.

his life wasn't too stable when he was dumping his pregnant girlfriend (Bridget Moynihan) for Giselle, who is apparently also now pregnant.

At least we know Tom's boys can swim.
