IT'S NOT LIKE HE HAS A JOB TO COME BACK TO ANYWAY:

Report: Brady has more surgery to fight infection (AP, October 23, 2008)

Brady confirmed for the first time Saturday that he'd undergone two operations on his injured left knee. The Herald, citing an unnamed source familiar with his treatment, said he's had two more since then because of infection.

If the infection is not brought under control, the Herald reports, the patellar tendon graft used to replace Brady's anterior cruciate ligament could become compromised. If that happens, Brady could need to redo the surgery -- likely delaying his rehabilitation.
