Fatherhood calls Brady away from practice

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s a boy for Bridget Moynahan and New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady.The actress gave birth to the baby in Los Angeles today, Moynahan’s publicist Christina Papadapoulos said in a statement.

“Both mother and baby are doing well,” she said. Other details were not immediately released. Moynahan and Brady split up late last year after a three-year relationship.

Brady, who has been dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, wasn’t on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of Patriots practice today.

The quarterback had said he wanted a few days off to attend the birth of his first child. It was unknown if he arrived before the baby was born.

Moynahan, a former model, has starred in such films as “Coyote Ugly,” “I, Robot” and “The Sum of All Fears.” Her television credits include “Sex and the City” and the ABC series “Six Degrees.”

Baugher is undisputed champ

Any argument about whether Danny Baugher truly has won the starting punting job with last week's release of Josh Miller has been answered affirmatively, as the Patriots have announced that Tom Malone has also been released. Malone was also on the practice squad last year with Baugher.

Baugher is now the only punter on the roster.

The team also cut defensive lineman Kenny Smith. The 29-year old Smith was signed as a free agent on June 8.
