Monday Afternoon GameDay will move to Tuesday this week as we get ready for the start of the high school fall season with tons and tons of previews in tomorrow's Bristol Press sports section. But here is quick story from the AP about Tom Brady missing the season with injury.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady will miss the entire NFL season with a left knee injury that will require surgery, leaving the New England Patriots without one of the game’s great quarterbacks, their Super Bowl hopes severely damaged.
The 2007 NFL Most Valuable Player will be placed on injured reserve, the Patriots said Monday, one day after his knee was injured in the first quarter of a 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
A statement issued before coach Bill Belichick’s news conference said Brady will have surgery, ending his 128-game starting streak, the third longest for a quarterback.
Brady left Sunday’s game against Kansas City after he was hit by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard. Brady was not available for comment, but reports circulated around the league that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament.
"We feel badly for Tom about the injury," Belichick said while not confirming the exact injury. "You hate to see anyone go down. No one has worked harder or done more for this team than Tom has."
Matt Cassel, who guided New England to its 20th straight regular-season win after Brady was hurt, will start Sunday at the New York Jets.

What day will the HS football previews run? Will they be available online or just in print? Thanks
For you local football fans, make sure you check out The Bristol Press on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (especially) as we will be running a "Three Teams In Three Days" football preview special. Bristol Eastern is first up, running in Wednesday's paper; then it's St. Paul's turn, as they will be in Thursday's paper; and finally Bristol Central will be in Friday's paper. Each team will have full coverage ... previews, features, capsules, schedule, starting lineups ... so make sure you pick up a copy of the paper each day. Only part of those previews will be available on www.bristolpress.com.
