No Brady or E. Manning in Less-Than-Super Rematch

It's a Super Bowl rematch minus the Super Bowl quarterbacks.

The Patriots' Tom Brady and the Giants' Eli Manning have been withheld from the preseason finale tonight.

Brady had said this week he'd hoped to play after being sidelined by a sore right foot. Instead, Coach Bill Belichick decided to wait for the regular season to get Brady back into the lineup.

Giants Coach Tom Coughlin decided to take no chances with Manning after already losing one standout player, defensive end Osi Umenyiora, to a season-ending injury during this preseason.
