Brooks: Overlooked factor in AFC tilt
While Manning-Brady XV is the AFC title game's central storyline, Bucky Brooks says the outcome will hinge on the ground battle. READ

Multiple outlets reported that the quarterback was not with the team during stretching and individual drills. It is the Patriots' first practice as they prepare to play the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Brady missed practice because he was sick, according to a person who spoke with the quarterback.

Brady's usual Wednesday news conference was moved to Friday.

Bill Belichick played coy at his news conference Wednesday, repeatedly not letting on to the reason for Brady missing practice.

The team's first injury report of the week comes out later today.

The latest "Around The League Podcast" featured discussion on Championship Sunday and an interview with Panthers star Greg Hardy.

Was his sickness perhaps in the morning?

It would appear the estrogen therapy is working better than he anticipated.

I know short of a missing right arm Brady will be playing. But I won't be crying if he coughed up a lung.

Based on the secrecy and the info I've seen,

I'm guessing menstrual cramps?

When McDaniels puts up a 60-spot, you will wish that he was still your head coach.

Could be mid-cycle bleeding.

I think his doctor has him on Lance Armstrong endorced IV therapy.

Hi! I was hoping you could drink some bleach or something, that cool?

Oh I get it.... Tom Brady is actually a woman... hahaha.

That would explain his masculine-looking wife.

"Alfonzo Dennard (knee) out for Patriots in Week 12

The New England Patriots will be without a key piece of their secondary when they face the explosive Denver Broncos on Sunday night.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that cornerback Alfonzo Dennard underwent a small meniscus procedure over the weekend and will miss a few weeks, according to a pair of sources informed of his medical situation"

He played the entire game in week 12. It's starting to look like Ian Rapoport is a Belichick operative.

And Ugg Boats wearing preference, and constant crying/hissy fits when things don't go his way, and lack of any ability to perform a standard high five, and dancing during Carnival.... By himself with way to much hip action.

Ah bless, a Pats troll how cute. You mean 60-yards, right? Or 60 3 and outs perhaps? Just thinking about how our team was when he coached them to try to work out what you meant there.....

Meh! Not when we drop 63 on your ass
