Goodbye Tedy

I realized that I neglected in this space to say a heartfelt goodbye to one of the greatest Patriots of all time - Tedy Bruschi.

For 13 seasons, Bruschi was a terror on the field with a nose for the ball carrier. In his early seasons he always seemed to be in on every tackle. He was the heart and soul of a nasty defense that shocked the world in 2002 and went on to win two more Super Bowls. Always professional, never one to make trouble off the playing field, Bruschi was the epitome of what we want to see in our professional athletes. Great on the field but a good role model off as well.

Good luck with your future Tedy and thanks for all the memories while you were in Foxboro.

It (obviously) wasn't that big out here but when I finally saw the blurb about it, I actually teared up. Remember how we all pulled for him when he had the stroke and we weren't sure what would happen? And then pulled harder when he came back? And cheered even louder than before when he was as good as he'd been before? There was a reason we did that, and it wasn't just about his playing abilities. The man is a class act on and off the field. I will always my New England Pats (how can I not?) but I will miss Tedy for a long time.
(Sorry for the length of the comment but no one out here gets it. *sigh*)
