Tom Brady...oh no! Benched for season due to injury!

Benched due to questionable hit...


Poor boy!

A big bruiser on the gridiron - with a tight butt and wide shoulders - knocked football stud Tom Brady down and he went boom.

The end result was a nasty knee injury requiring surgery - that will bench the pro athlete - for the rest of the high-profile season.

Ouch!!!

In a call to NBC earlier today, Brady was upbeat and optimistic, though.

"Everything is OK. It will be exciting to see what the team is made of."

Without you Tom?

A big fat ZERO!!!


Just kidding.

Fans will be keenly observing from the sidelines, and praying for your sake, there'll be a team to huddle back to next season.

Meanwhile, a bit of tender love might get you over the - um - hump.

Eh, Giselle?

A word of advice, though.

The missionary position may not be a great idea just about now, what with your bum knee, and all.

Why not let her ride you from on top?

Just a suggestion, Tom!

Tom Brady...plugs thirst-quencher with smarts!

Well, the ta ta's had a little somethin' to do with it...

A double-decker sightseeing bus roared around a corner just off tony Rodeo Drive and caught my appreciative eye.

One whole side of the vehicle - packed with rollicking tourists - was splashed with a studly shot of All-Star quarterback Tom Brady alighting from a helicopter with a bottle of "smartwater" in his clenched hand.

Must have been one of those sizzling hot nights!

On the reverse side of the carrier, Tom gets down 'n dirty with rough 'n tumble team-mates, primed and ready to go.

Ah, that smart water.

The trendy liquid not only quenches the thirst, but adds a bit of zip to boot.

Used to be, Gatorade was the "after-drink" of choice to restore electrolytes after a strenuous work-out.

One problem, though.

The lime or cherry-colored magic water was packed with a mountain of sugar!

18 grams, or so, to be exact.

Now, dudes-in-the-know, grab the intelligent stuff.

Must be somethin' else lurking inside that sensual-looking designer bottle.

If the potent potion can keep me up (!) and capable of carousing all night with blond bimbo babes - like Tommy boy - then order me a carton, please!

Now, play ball!
