New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will miss most of training camp and preseason due to a further complication resulting from the hit early last season by Kansas City’s Bernard Pollard that caused Brady to miss the season with a torn ACL, team officials announced on Friday.
The condition, commonly known as "buttchin," or "butt-on-chin," is not known to be career-threatening, as players such as Joe Namath enjoyed modestly productive careers despite the affliction, but it can negatively affect game preparations. It can also adversely affect life after football.
"We’re not worried about the season," said a team spokesman late Friday. "Butt-on-chin is a common malady, and can result from any serious hit. It’s very similar to "head-over-heels," or "ass-over-teakettle," both of which can often be fixed without surgery."
Team officials stressed that the injury is in no way related to "foot-in-mouth," which can be career-threatening, or "head-up-ass," which ended the career of former NFL quarterback Jeff George, among others.
"It’s more of a cosmetic thing, really," said the spokesman. "I mean, who wants to go through the rest of his life with….what? What do you mean, he always had that? And this guy bones supermodels? Well…I guess there’s just something about quarterbacks."
In other news, the "brain-in-a-shoebox-somewhere" condition that sidelined Plaxico Burress last season is said to still be bothering the wide receiver.
