TMZ.com caught Tom Brady wearing a walking boot while limping into girlfriend Gisele Bundchen’s apartment in New York Monday.

The Boston Herald and Boston Globe had the photos — credited to infphoto.com — on their Web sites. A video of Brady walking with a slight limp from an SUV to girlfriend Gisele Bundchen’s apartment in New York is available on TMZ.com.

“Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl,” Brady said Monday during his weekly radio appearance on WEEI — before the photo and video emerged — when asked if his leg was injured. “I’m not worried about that. I’m not missing this one. I’d have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It’s nothing serious.”

Better call the ol’ bookie and lay a cool $5 on the Giants, because based on TMZ.com’s video, it’s clear Brady won’t be ready in time for the Super Bowl. Hopefully tomorrow they’ll be video of Bill Belichick sneezing too hard and throwing out his back, because then I’ll bump my bet up to $10.

Update: Bets off – apparently Brady shed the walking boot in order to hit the town last night.
