Patriots quarterback Tom Brady addressed the media just minutes after the team plane touched down, and the question everyone wanted to know was how his ankle was feeling. Here's what he said:

Brady at first repeated the question, "How's the ankle?" and then asked reporters, "What'd coach say?" referring to the press conference Patriots coach Bill Belichick had given just moments earlier.

When a reporter (it sounded like ESPN's Sal Paolantonio) told him, "He said ask you," Brady responded, "Did he? That's different."

With that moment of levity aside, Brady said, "It's feeling good. It's feeling good. I'll be ready to go. It's been a good week. I think the team's practiced hard, although I haven't practiced, but I watched them practice hard. I think we're pretty well caught up mentally. We've got to have a good week of practice because this team really challenges you."
