Tom Brady will play in the New England Patriots preseason game Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, according to a report by CSNNE.com.Brady is making the trip to Carolina with the team, according to ESPN and multiple reports. The Patriots will start?Jimmy Garoppolo?at quarterback but plan to also have Brady play, a source told ESPNs Mike Reiss.Garoppolo started the first two preseason games for the Pats, playing the entire first half against the Saints on Aug. 11 and through the first series of the third quarter against the Bears on Aug. 18.In all, he has played 84 snaps, and rookie Jacoby Brissett has played 54.Brady has yet to play in the preseason. Since he became the starter in the 2001 season, there has been just one preseason in which he hasnt played a game, in 2008.Brady will serve a four-game suspension to begin the regular season as the team turns to Garoppolo as its starter. This will mark the first season since 2001 that a quarterback other than Brady starts the regular-season opener for the Patriots.Earlier this week, Brady talked about why live game action in the preseason is so crucial for his development.Youre getting hit, so just the space awareness, guys around you, and ball security and things like that, he said. For the last 30 practices quarterbacks arent touched. [In a game] just standing there in the pocket, holding the ball knowing that theyre coming to get the ball and knock it out of your hands, hitting the ground, those types of things and so forth are important.You just have to feel things out and the game is really the only place to get it because its regular speed. You dont know whats coming.Asked if he truly needed game reps, Brady said, I dont think any of them hurt, so I think just do the best you can do. Were preparing a lot of guys to get ready to play. I fit into that, but so do a lot of other guys. Im just taking the advice of Coach [Bill Belichick], and whatever he wants to do, Im going to do everything I can to be ready to go when I am called upon. Thats what my responsibility is so thats what Im preparing to do.Brady also touched on another reason he wants to play; at 39 years old, hes closer to the end of his career than the start.Im getting so many opportunities left in my life, so Id like to take advantage of any opportunity, any and all of them if possible, he said. When you see your teammates out there in their uniforms and ready to go, you want to be out there with them.ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss contributed to this report. Air Force 1 Yellow Fake .

Rio 2016s organising committee has confirmed that its appeal against an injunction blocking the release of public funding to pay for the Paralympic Games has been successful.Last week judge Marcia Maria Nunes granted a request by prosecutors to halt the transfer of any further state aid to Rio 2016s organising committee until it opened up its accounts to public scrutiny.This meant that £36 million from Rio city mayor Eduardo Paes and £29m in federal funding -- intended to fill the hole in Rio 2016s budget -- was held up.Rio 2016s lawyers lodged an appeal against this injunction on Monday and federal judge Guilherme Couto de Castro has now agreed that halting this money jeopardises the Paralympics, which would be a major embarrassment to Brazil.The ruling, however, does not affect the earlier request for Rio 2016s organisers to fully disclose their ffinancial position, which could be equally embarrassing.ddddddddddddRecent weeks have been dominated by reports of financial problems and cutbacks, with International Paralympic Committee president Sir Philip Craven describing the situation as precarious.The organisers are already nearly three weeks late in paying travel grants to national Paralympic committees, which could mean some of the poorer nations do not send teams at all.It was also revealed on Wednesday that only 12 percent of the available tickets for the Games, which start on September 7, have been sold -- an alarming figure considering how poor the actual attendances have been at the Olympics where nearly 90 per cent of the tickets have apparently been sold.
