Bruschi has holes drilled into his skull and still came back to play for the cheating-ass Patriots, whom he slurps to this very day. F*ck that guy. a little harsh here. do you feel the same about gastineau? true enough these guys are doing peds or abusing their bodies in other ways to excell in their sport. and you would think some of these guys know the damages they are causing their bodies but the desire to play is so great they decide it's all worth it. it shouldn't be that way but it's kinda the way it is and condoned by the teams and the nfl. it's still sad to see a guy so young having health issues and having to pay with his health for the work he did as a player. i'd don't know if there's a way to change the sport without some serious adjustment. i would like to see how the football player's future health compares with the soccer players or basketball. probably not very favorable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruschi isn’t just another cheating New England Patriot whose body is now suffering from years of steroid and Amphetamine abuse He’s even unpopular with other Patriot teammates he was known as a snitch bitch in the locker room who would get Pioli and Belichick to cut players if he found out anything about them from them partying the night before games, eating fast food to even if the player considered signing with another team the following offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a game, Teddy was a head hunter for Belichick, just rewatch the 1st Pats vs St. Louis Rams game. He was going low & hitting WRs that were already down or going down because the BB plan was to intimidate them. But....the guy has kids, I'm not heartless enough to wish ill on him.

greenwichjetfan Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I wonder if ESPN will create a “stat” tracker for when he returns to marvel about how many syllables he’s able to speak on a per-sentence basis. Will be riveting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoeword Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I remember in an important game, Bruschi totally killed lavernius coles on a short cross pattern, and he was quite cool about it afterwards and said how much he respected coles..

If you want to do a performative "Poor Bruschi!" and then order up a Sam Darnold jersey while sending in your PSL deposit, be my guest, but let's keep it real. These dudes trade their health for millions of dollars while the dude re-shingling your roof in July or laying the asphalt on your driveway is suffering the same pains and will die penniless at 54. I feel as bad for the roofer as I do for the linebacker, except I acknowledge the linebacker retired at 35 with a mansion and three Ferraris. English Literature degree in action?

docdhc Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I don’t know why wishing someone well who’s had a stroke should be controversial no matter what team he played for. Strokes are scary and suck and no one deserves it. I hope he gets better and then I can dislike him again for being a patriot and for his negativity regarding the Jets.
