Tom Brady involved in car accident

New England Patriots [team stats] quarterback Tom Brady [stats] was involved in a two-car accident today in the Back Bay that sent a passenger from the other vehicle to the hospital, sources told the Herald. Brady refused treatment at the scene and is en route to Gillette Stadium, according to a team source. The 6:34 a.m. crash at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Gloucester Street knocked over a traffic light and forced firefighters to use the Jaws of Life to free a passenger in the rear seat of the van, said Steve MacDonald, Boston Fire Department spokesman. Brady’s Audi was seen being towed from the scene. Emergency Medical Services personnel transported one person to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan. Another patient was evaluated, said Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll. Brady was seen walking around at the scene. Commonwealth Avenue was shut down at Gloucester Street outbound while officials cleared the crash scene. The street has since re-opened to traffic.

New Orleans Saints notes: Patrolling the dome, Gregg Williams stands his ground

http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2010/09/new_orleans_saints_notes_patro.html Williams stands his ground Perhaps the most publicized aspect of the Saints-Vikings game has been whether the Saints will deliver the same beating to Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre that they did in the 2009 NFC championship game, and whether the Vikings will seek their own sort of payback in the way they attack…

Saints FS Malcolm Jenkins Talks Defense, Move From Cornerback

Safety Malcolm Jenkins of the New Orleans Saints is optimistic that the Saints can repeat as NFL champions this season but knows that it will take plenty of work. That is the goal and we are working extremely hard to get back there but it still comes down to wining games and that’s our biggest focus right now. We must take it a game at a time just like we did last year. We must succeed when we are suppose to succeed and find a way to win when the odds are against us. We did a great job of that last year and we will have to persevere through tough games, the second year player says. Jenkins, who was drafted 14th overall in last year’s draft, was considered by some scouts to be better suited for the safety position and was moved from cornerback to safety during the offseason and feels comfortable at his new position. I love the move to safety it feels natural and I’m able to use my instincts and range to my advantage, he says. The Saints coaching staff made the decision to draft Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson with their first round pick this year thus giving the team the depth to move Jenkins who will be the backup to veteran Darren Sharper. Says Jenkins of Sharper, I thinks he’s a huge piece to our puzzle defensively. You saw what he did last year on the field and even if he’s not on the field he can teach other players to do the things that he did. Sharper, who was brought in last year after a productive career with Green Bay and Minnesota, was the star of the Saints’ new and improved defense but Jenkins thinks that the defense can improve even more. I think the “D” has the potential to be better than we were last year, but potential isn’t enough we still have a lot of work to do to get to where we want to be, he says. That place where Saints want to be is Dallas in February of 2011 which is where the Super Bowl will be held at the end of this season and the team wouldn’t mind bringing another trophy back home to Who Dat Town.
