From a BB press conference today:
Q: Would you feel comfortable with Matt Cassell as a backup?
A: I don’t know. I don’t know. I think Brady has established himself.
Ya think, Bill?

From Brady’s press conference today:
“I think we’ve probably been disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we’ve been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league. I think if there’s one team that feels like they’re disrespected, it’s us. I don’t disrespect Jacksonville. It’s [hard] to disrespect a team that’s 12-4. If we were 12-4 it would be different. I think people gave up on us a long time ago.”
And the latest version of the injury report:

Tampa Bay has another one of their hilarious site intros up. Needs flash.
Simmons actually says something funny for the first time in ages:
When Baltimore fans derisively cheered an injured Kyle Boller last week, that made me think of something: Can you imagine any other career in which you could suffer an injury, but because you stink at your job so much, everyone else in your office will start cheering derisively as you’re helped out of the building? Do you ever bounce back from that one? Instead of creating complicated statistics that only like 0.3 percent of the human population can understand, I wish the Football Outsider guys would research stuff like “Effectiveness of shaky quarterbacks in the weeks and months after a T.I.B. (traumatic injury booing).” Now that’s the stuff that would be fascinating. Has any quarterback ever bounced back from that situation before and thrived in front of those same fans?
