FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady returned to the team Tuesday from an excused personal absence, telling reporters he had to take care of something without divulging what it was.Brady also detailed what unfolded before Thursdays preseason game against the Chicago Bears, when he sliced his right thumb on a pair of scissors and was a late scratch.I was ready to go, had everything on, and I was just trying to get something out of my shoe, he said. The scissors slipped. Just a silly accident.Its a crappy way to not be out there because its a silly mistake. Im glad it wasnt in the regular season. I learned from it and hopefully wont be operating any more scissors for a while.Brady said that when the accident happened, he let out a pretty loud word I wouldnt repeat in front of my kids. I couldnt believe it and then got it checked out.CSN New England tweeted a close-up photo of Bradys thumb.Asked how his right thumb feels now, Brady said, Good. It took a few days. I wanted to go, and Coach [Belichick] said its probably best if we just take it easy.I wish I could have played. Ive been missing playing, and I wanted to be out there with my teammates. I feel like thats what my job and responsibility is, to be out there with my team. It was tough to not be out there.Brady said he thinks he would have played if it were a regular-season game but added that he supported Belichicks decision.As for whether he wants to play in Fridays preseason game at Carolina, Brady said, Absolutely. I like to be out there every time I get a chance to play. You only get so many opportunities a year. Im getting [only] so many opportunities left in my life, so Id like to take advantage of any and all of them if possible.Asked whether hes been told he will play, Brady said, Im always prepared to go. Whenever my number is called, Ill be ready. Wholesale Adidas NHL Jerseys . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions.

Sebastian Vettel says Ferrari must not look for excuses to explain its lacklustre performance at the British Grand Prix.Vettel finished ninth at Silverstone after starting 11th due to a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change. It was the second race in a row that Red Bull finished ahead of Ferrari, but Vettel said there is no point making excuses for Ferraris dip in form.We want to win, so I dont really care whats going on behind, he said. As long as they stay behind, I think it was arguably a strong weekend for them and not so strong for us. Its probably the only race this year where in terms of race pace we werent able to fight them and beat them. But Im pretty confident that things will look different again in two weeks.Thats not an excuse, we had a bad weekend and we need to make sure we address this and we take actions and move forward, understand why we struggled more than other people. Generally everyone is improving -- we are, other people are -- but I think this weekend was a step back for us in terms of competitivenesss, not necessarily a big step up for other people.ddddddddddddettel is hoping the Ferrari is better suited to the Hungaroring, which hosts next weekends Hungarian Grand Prix.Yeah I think its a completely different track, different conditions. Usually wherever Formula One goes the sun is shining but it seems that this year it hasnt really been very warm, which is nice when you drive - you dont sweat so much - but thats not why we go racing. I think we have to take into account that we might sweat and its actually a nice feeling when you have to work hard.I think its a completely different track but first of all theres a lot of things we need to learn from this weekend. We failed two gearboxes - one on Friday, one on Saturday - on my car. I think we recovered on qualifying but obviously lost out quite a lot of performance in todays race with the conditions we faced. So theres a lot of stuff to understand.
