It very well could be his genes that are working against him. But I'm saying that it's possible. He doesn't seem the type to do it, but who knows? The stroke + the heart in a months time are suspicious a little bit, IMO.

Like I said, I hope he recovers to be there for his kids.

And the original article said the stroke was caused from a broken blood vessel in the brain...which most likely occurred from too many shots to the brain playing the game. Why steroids are even being introduced as a possibility is just plain wrong.

Because the media overreacts to everything. And 'roids are big news right now.
But they aren't the problem here.

I said I don't think he did them. I said it's a possibility. And with the juice running wild these days, it could be a possibility. Jeez...Sorry for mentioning it.

He's a roid monkey, alright.

Poor guy. Godspeed to him and his family.

Bruschi may sit out '05

No shock here. At first, I didn't think so... but now I'm fairly certain he's a 'roid-head. Considering the big plays he made to assist the Pats in their narrow victory in the Super Bowl, it really pisses me off, too.

A stroke IS a broken bllod vessel in the brain. It is caused mainly by a blood clot getting stuck in a vessel. Could a hole in the heart cause a clot? Yes. Could the clot become motile due to a big hit? Yes. Is it necessarily steroid induced? No.

Cleared to work out, but not practice or play football. He's going to make his decision in a month whether he is to come back or not. I sincerely hope he doesn't. Not because he's on the Pats, they beat us, blah blah blah....but because it could be the dumbest thing he would ever do. With 2 little boys and a wife and family that loves him, he's risking his life. Financially, I'm sure he's well set up for the future...why risk your LIFE?

PS...any Pats fan who disagrees with this, weren't you all the same ones saying that TO shouldn't risk his CAREER by playing in the Super Bowl? Well, we're talking a man's life here.

the guy should never play football again. Im sure he'd make a great TV analyst...he's well spoken, etc. He can make his money that way.

T_Section224 · June 10, 2005, 09:14:54 AM

I agree with you PG, why risk life just to play a game. He'll be able to make money elsewhere, not that he probably doesn't have a nice piece of change right now, so why risk everything.

MadMarchHare · June 10, 2005, 10:06:16 AM

I imagine the Pats would make a settlement on the remainder of his contract as well, considering his situation. Kraft seems like a pretty standup guy. He should have some dough to move on with.

Bruschi Out For Season
Tedy BruschiPatrioits linebacker Tedy Bruschi will miss the 2005 season as he recovers from a stroke, the team announced today.

Good news. I'd hate to have seen him come back too soon.

Chad Brown will render Bruschi's absence insignificant. Great signing.

Tomahawk · July 21, 2005, 08:37:32 AM

And Roosevel Colvin will be back. Between him and Brown, they'll only miss Bruschi's leadership which is still somewhat significant. Apparently, Bruschi was the one to translate the playcall from the coach to the rest of the defensive team. With a defense as complex as theirs is, somebody has some big shoes to fill.

Irregardless, I think the Patriots are going to suffer a let down. In part because of Bruschi, but moreso due to losing both offensive and defensive coordinators.

rjs246 · July 21, 2005, 10:21:07 AM

So now the Pats have lost their defensive leader and both of their coordinators... 6 months too late if you ask me.
