The RP’s BREAKING News: The Politics of Pigskin

Two of the four quarterbacks set to play in the conference championship games have been under the weather. Eli Manning had some kind of stomach virus and Tom Brady was suffering from a left shoulder injury. Reports indicate they are both back practicing. The lack of practice time is unlikely to have any effect on these two veterans. However, both the injury and illness will be worth keeping in mind as we go into Sunday’s NFC and AFC championship games. [ESPN New York][ESPN Boston]
