After shipping off their replacement quarterback to the Kansas City Chiefs, the New England Patriots are certainly excited to see their franchise QB Tom Brady back on the practice field.  Brady, who was out all of last year w/ a knee injury, is the Pats best chance at returning to the Super Bowl and winning a title.  His injury last year immediately opened up the field, which was previously a sure-shot for New England to hold the Lombardi Trophy.

Initial reports on Sunday indicated that Tom Brady would be out for the 2008-2009 season, and Monday those rumors were validated. The reigning NFL MVP has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the NFL season.

For all you fantasy owners out there, this is a HUGE loss to your teams and we feel for you. Ok, maybe not so much, but it always sucks to lose your top pick this early in the season. Get on the waiver wires or start looking at trade scenarios, because Brady isn’t playing again and shouldn’t be taking up a space on your roster.

Fantasy football news from Fantasy Football Daily Tips

Tom Brady (New England Patriots) had a record breaking year in 2007 with 50 TD passing, breaking Peyton Manning’s single season record. If you had him on your team last year, you probably won a lot of games.

This year Brady is ranked as the top fantasy football quarterback by most experts, and will most likely be taken in the first round of most drafts. But is he worthy of such a high pick? Lets look at last years numbers a bit.

During the first 8 games of 2007 Tom Brady threw 30 touchdowns which works out to 60 TD’s for a season. During the last 8 games Brady slowed down considerably, throwing 20 touchdowns which works out to 40 over a 16 game period.

Which Brady will we see in 2008? Most likely the 40 TD Tom Brady. After 8 games last year, defenses had a chance to adjust to the Patriots new offense. The Patriots still scored, but they were not as dominate over the last 8 games.

I would still rate Tom Brady as the #1 QB for 2008, but don’t expect him to outscore Manning, Romo, and Brees by nearly as many points as last year.

The New England Patriots are on the verge of completing the unthinkable… going undefeated in the regular season and tying the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

Facing the Miami Dolphins (ironically) in week 16, the Patriots jumped out to a large lead and coasted to their 15th straight win.  Their final game, next weekend, will be in New York against the Giants.  This is hardly a gimme, but the Patriots will be the favorites.  The only question will be whether or not coach Belichick sits his regulars in the regular season finale.

With the team coasting into the playoffs, it would be stupid to risk injury to your star players.  However, quarterback Tom Brady is on the verge of setting a new single season NFL record for touchdown passed - he’s currently at 48 TD passes, only 1 behind the record held by the Colts’ Peyton Manning.  Wide receiver Randy Moss is also on the verge of breaking the record for most touchdown receptions - he trails the legendary Jerry Rice by 1 touchdown heading into the final game.

Before we get into all the records that New England has already broken this year, take a look at the most popular Patriots jerseys below:

Ok, sorry… here are the NFL records that the New England Patriots have tied or broken already this year:

• NFL record for most touchdowns in a season
• Highest regular season point differential
• First team to start season w/ 15 straight wins
• Tied record for most regular season wins
• Brady-to-Moss most pass/catch TD combo in single season

The Patriots have exceeded all expectations this year and they’re doing it in a record setting style.  Give praise to Belichick, his staff, and the players on the team for putting together such a remarkable run.  Whether you like New England’s team (or coach) is irrelevant… this is history baby!
