Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Way to risk the future of your family because you want to play a game.

Idiot.

Shocking! Football players are usually so well known for their intelligence and ethics...

He's hooked on the juice.

Needs to get as many playing years in as possible before they start testing for whatever chemical combo he's shooting up with.

But we all love Rocky for getting back up to keep taking beating after beating after beating. 

The guy's a competitor and I can't fault him at all for wanting to get back on the field no matter how dumb his decision to might be.  He knows the risk.  And I'm guessing if he didn't have the support of his wife that she would have walked by now.

Rocky = fictional character

Bruschi = real man with 2 little boys and a wife to think about.

A little reality check here.

No shtein Rocky's a fictional character but at the same time, his determination is what everyone loves about the character.  I don't think anyone ever watched the movie and said to themselves "Stay down Rocky, you've got a family to think about."

Even though the movie is fictional, the emotion and determination displayed though out is very real. 

Like I said, I'm sure Bruschi's talked to his wife and immediate family about it.  He's gone though pretty intense and thorough medical evals and was cleared to play.  So if he wants to play and if his family supports him and a team of docs have cleared him then who am I (or anyone else) to question his decision. 

No one here questioned TO last year playing in the Super Bowl.  Granted, he didn't have a life threatening condition but he could have ended his career.  So why is Bruschi any different.  It's his life, not mine.  I don't have to live (or die) with the consequences.  I wish more athletes had his mentality.  I hope he comes back and plays well.

TO and Bruschi are RIDICULOUS comparisons. TO would have surgery again if he re-injured his foot.

Bruschi has another stroke and he's possibly dead.

You don't say?  Well I wonder if he's even taken that into consideration?   Maybe you should pass that on to him just incase.

You want to use TO as a comparison, here's a good one....the doctors all said that TO would re-injure the ankle and need surgery and that he couldn't play. THEY WERE WRONG.

Hmm....lets chance it and see if Tedy DIES.
