News7 reports that Brady was driving through an intersection with the green light, when another driver in a minivan ran a red light and was hit by Brady's car. The Jaws of Life were used by the fire department to remove the driver of the minivan, who was then transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
So the accident itself isn't as big of a story as most news outlets are portraying it as, here in Boston there's actually a reporter outside of the shop were Brady's car is.. Are you shitting me? Brady was lucky, the Patriots were lucky, we were all lucky - Brady is reported to be fine and is attending practice today.. But don't be surprised to see (*Tom Brady - Neck) on the injury report, we all know how Bill Bellicheck operates.
On a side-and-very-funny note, the word a buzz on twitter tells us that the car that hit Brady had New Jersey licence plates - I'm sure 3 dozen websites have the pictures - I haven't seen them. My guess? Mark Sanchez? Rex Ryan? Snooki? Eli Manning? Yes, the number of jokes is infinite.
Brady is also rumored to be close to signing a multi-year contract extension.
An extension that we have all been eagerly awaiting.
But what is Brady's perspective post crash? This is the kind of incident that can really affect a persons mentality. A close call, regardless of how little actual damage is done, is bound to make you reconsider your own mortality, and subsequently perhaps his football career. All the talk surrounding Brady's extension has mostly been about the fact that it isn't done yet. The first problem being that he is the New England Patriots - So why has it taken so long? And the all too real problem of Brady going into a new football season without any money guaranteed in the future. Reports say Brady's contract is close, but is it close enough? Sunday is quickly approaching and a lot of those NFL linebackers hit about as hard as that van did.
The Patriots have released a statement via Twitter:
Patriots QB Tom Brady was in a car accident this morning. He was not hospitalized and is expected at Gillette Stadium today. #fb
