Washington Redskins
How many touch down passes will Tom Brady throw against the Washington Redskins on Sunday?

Will The Tom extend his record streak of 7 games with at least 3 touchdown passes? If he gets 3, that will make 30 for 8 games, which would indicate 60 for the year.

How many against Washington?

Im going to guess 4 TD passes.

#15- In May 2002 Baltimore Orioles left fielder Marty Cordova fell asleep in a tanning bed and got a sunburn on his face. His doctor ordered him to stay out of direct sunlight, which meant Cordova had to hide out in the clubhouse during day games until his face healed.

#14- Pitching great Nolan Ryan once missed a start after a coyote allegedly bit him.

#13- Chicago Cubs outfielder Jose Cardenal missed a game in 1974 because his eyelid was "stuck open," which prevented him from blinking. He eventually overcame this ailment, it didn't help his reputation as a player who liked to use suspicious injuries to get out of games; two seasons earlier he had missed a game because crickets in his hotel room had kept him up all night, leaving him exhausted.

#12- Atlanta Braves Pitcher Tom Glavine suffered from food poisoning during the 1992 season; his symptoms were so bad that he broke a rib while vomiting.

#11- Atlanta Braves first baseman Ryan Klesko missed several games in 1999 after straining his back while picking up his lunch tray.

#10- Brazilian soccer star Ramalho once missed three days of action because he was bedridden after taking a suppository orally.

#9- Reliever Greg A. Harris once missed two starts for the Texas Rangers after he inflamed his elbow by spending an entire game flicking sunflower seeds at a friend who was sitting nearby.

#8- Boston Red Sox pitcher Clarence Blethen didn't have a long career, but he did have a fine set of false teeth. According to legend, Blethen liked to carry his false teeth in his back pocket when he played, which was a decent enough plan until he had to make a takeout slide at second to break up a double play during the 1923 season. When Blethen slid, his false chompers supposedly bit him on the rear, which led to a bloody mess that forced him out of the game.

#7- Baseball players should not play Basketball. Atlanta Braves closer Cecil Upshaw missed the entire 1970 season when his ring got caught on an awning as he tried to demonstrate his slam-dunk technique.

#6- Hall of Fame third baseman Wade Boggs once missed seven games after straining his back while trying to pull on his trademark cowboy boots.

#5- Hall of Fame offensive tackle Turk Edwards suffered a career-ending injury in 1940 during the pregame coin toss. When Edwards turned to return to the Washington Redskins' sideline, he caught his cleats on the turf, which wrecked his fragile knee and forced him into retirement.

#4- Point guard Muggsy Bogues once missed the second half of a game after he became dizzy from inhaling ointment fumes while receiving treatment for a sore muscle at halftime.

#3- NHL goalie Glenn Healy enjoyed a long career, and he also enjoyed playing the bagpipes. While playing for the Maple Leafs in 2000, Healy needed stitches after slicing himself while repairing an antique set of pipes.

#2- In 1994 Steve Sparks missed out on a chance to make his first big-league roster when he dislocated his shoulder during spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers. He tried to rip a phone book while imitating a group of motivational speakers who had visited the team.

#1- Sacramento Kings small forward Lionel Simmons missed two games in his rookie season (1991) because he had tendinitis in his right wrist and forearm from playing too much GameBoy.
