EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. --?Tom Brady is scheduled to start at quarterback for the New England Patriots in Thursdays preseason finale against the New York Giants, according to ESPN and multiple media reports.A source confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Brady, who will serve a four-game suspension to open the season, will start ahead of rookie?Jacoby Brissett during Thursdays game.Jimmy Garoppolo, who will start in Bradys absence during his suspension, is not expected to play barring an unexpected change, a source familiar with the teams plan told ESPN.It is not known how long the Patriots plan to play Brady before turning things over to Brissett. This will mark just the third time since 2004 that Brady will take snaps in a preseason finale, with the most recent time coming in 2011.Brady did play one snap in the 2014 preseason finale against the Giants, as he was summoned off the sideline to serve as the emergency holder on the field goal unit as a reminder that he always had to be prepared for that role in the event of an injury.Coach Bill Belichick hinted that Brady was going to play Thursday night, explaining the importance of Brady doing so to sports radio WEEI by saying, I think its obvious, playing in games is different from practicing.Your backup quarterback can play in preseason, and who knows when hes going to play again [after that]? But whenever he does, its going to be very important. We know when Tom is going to play again [Oct. 9], and thats going to be important. I think these [regular-season] games, even though theyre not right on the doorstep, they are still an important part of his preparation and the teams preparation with him at quarterback. Thats why we do it.Garoppolo started the teams first three preseason games and has played 113 snaps, while Brissett has played solely in the second half and has gotten 77 snaps.Brady has only seen action in one preseason game this year -- last weeks 19-17 victory against Carolina during which he completed 3-of-9 attempts for 76 yards and 1 touchdown.The Patriots open the season Sept. 11 at the Arizona Cardinals, and Belichick has said the priority in training camp was having Garoppolo ready for that game. Risking injury in Thursdays preseason finale was also likely part of the consideration in him not being expected to play.During his suspension, which begins Sept. 3, Brady cannot attend or watch practice or appear at the teams facility for any reason. He also cant have contact with any team personnel or engage in any team-related activities for discussions with teammates, even if away from the Patriots facility. Air Max 720 Italia .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.The goalkeeper feels humiliated, there is no need to do that. That was the view of former Queens Park Rangers and Blackpool manager Ian Holloway after Barcelonas Cruyff penalty on Sunday, when Lionel Messi rolled the ball forward for Luis Suarez to score.While some lauded the penalty, which was similar to one scored by former Barcelona player and head coach Johan Cruyff in 1982, there were questions over whether it was disrespectful to opponents Celta Vigo. We take a look at some of the opinions, from those who say it was genius to others who say it made them uncomfortable... Luis Suarez celebrates with Lionel Messi after combining to score from the penalty spot Barcelona head coach Luis EnriqueThere will be those who like it and those who dont. As well as winning titles, here we try to entertain people and win in a spectacular and sporting manner. You can take a penalty like that, its legal and theres a Cruyff penalty we all know.In this country, a kick (at an opponent) is more readily accepted than anything fancy. We dont care about that. What we have to do is enjoy our football, respect our opponents, try to show were better through football.Im sorry but I dont think anything special happened. Im used to seeing them train and there they are even better. German newspaper Bild asked whether the penalty was arrogant or genius Celta Vigo head coach Eduardo BerizzoThe penalty was taken in a different way, theres nothing more to it. I am hurt by the number of goals we let in, not by how they scored. Their players are respectful with the rival: they score goals as they can, as they want to and as they are allowed to.Barcelona vice-president Jordi MestreMy personal opinion is that at this point, if we see this show and talk about disrespect, thats not so good.I dont know if they rehearsed the penalty. I think they talked about it and it went well for the level of football theyre at.Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem BalagueStraight away the debate in Spain started, was it disrespectful or not? Football, especially in England, is made up of controversies and personalities whereas in Spain it is tactics and personalities, with controversies only recently growing into the game.Those characteristics didnt bring any of us into football, instead it was moments of magic and Barcas penalty will have evoked memories of Cruyffs penalty from 1982 - a moment which is historic and not viewed as disrespectful in any way.In Spain there is a lot of talk about whether this is disrespectful or not. That is a view that has been used by many to criticise Barcelona. Most of the discontent comes from Madrid and it is a media strategy to please the Madrid fans who want to hear that, it has nothing to do with people thinking about football and is more to do with the business side of things - ie selling newspapers. Lionel Messi passed the ball for Luis Suarez to score To those who claim that this was out of order and would like to see none of this in football then I implore you to go and find another game because I wish there were more moments like this.You cannot label everything in the same way, there are things that players do when the game is over that do feel disrespectful. A tactical gesture or a skill perhaps, something that would be done when playing with friends and not when your four or five goals to the good.But that goal doesnt fall into that bracket for me. What would the opinion be if Ronaldo and Karim Benzema or Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney tried something similar? Everyone is talking about this goal so, for me, that must be for a good reason.Barcelona forward NeymarThat play had been rehearsed and it was supposed to be for me. The most important thing is that the play worked.Barcelona midfielder Andres IniestaMy reaction to the penalty was one of surprise because of the way they ran it, but Im happy it was a goal. You can take them like that too. Enrique defends Suarez, Messi Luis Enrique has rejected suggestions that the penalty was intended to embarrass Celta We are the first ones to try to respect our opponents and the way they play. I do not think that the penalty was disrespectful.Ian Hollloway on Sky Sports NowIf I was the opposition manager I would be fuming, if I was the manager of the player who scored I would be saying if you want him to score a hat-trick then he can take the penalty.dddddddddddd The goalkeeper feels humiliated, there is no need to do that; a classy club and classy team dont need to do that.Sky Sports Spanish football commentator Terry GibsonI do understand why it would be accused of being disrespectful, but we are going to remember it for a long time. The game was quite tight, it wasnt the kind of game you thought they would do this. Terry Gibson gives his verdict on the penalty Its indicative of how those front three are playing and enjoying their football.Marca journalist Tomas GuaschIf Ronaldo and Benzema did it they would be sent to Afghanistan.Ex-Arsenal defender Nigel Winterburn on Sky Sports NowIf I was playing and it was my team I would be uncomfortable with my team-mates doing that, but the rules state you dont have to directly strike the ball. Lionel Messi scored a fantastic free-kick in the 6-1 victory If it was my team-mates I would be uncomfortable because you have to show some respect to the opposition and, as an ex-player, that says we are not giving them the respect they deserve. I am uncomfortable with it.Sky Sports Now guest and former Norwich striker Iwan RobertsIts genius but it shows a lack of respect. If you tried that in a practice match your manager would be ripping your head off, even if you scored. They dont need to be doing it.Brighton manager Chris HughtonI think most people will see it for the quality it is. It was probably planned, although it didnt look like the manager knew it was going to happen. Its not disrespectful, but its easier to do that when you are 3-1 up.Rangers boss Mark WarburtonWhether you call it showboating and take it the wrong way or just admire the fact they have so much skill and creativity that you stand back and applaud, I dont know.It could be seen as disrespectful and showboating but you see the reaction from the guys at the Nou Camp and its different. You are looking at some of the finest players in world football and for me it is a joy to watch them play.Celta defender Gustavo CabralIts annoying that it ended up being a goal. But not because of the way they took it. Bad sportsmanship? Listen as Jon Driscoll and Terry Gibson continue the debate on the latest La Liga Weekly podcast What did you make of Barcelonas penalty?
