Tedy Bruschi Retires

Tedy Bruschi called it quits on Sunday. He didn't seem too bent out of shape about it. Carrying the weight of the moment was Bill Belichick, whose voice actually cracked up a little during his press conference. I've never seen him unable to hide emotion before, even for the tiniest moment. Even after Super Bowl wins he usually just sounds like someone who won their money back on a five dollar scratch ticket. Yet there he was, getting emotional, struggling to collect himself, letting it slip that Bruschi was his favorite player. Kinda says something about Bruschi. 

The man came back from a stroke and anchored the defense of a team that had a perfect season. THE MAN CAME BACK FROM A STROKE. Absolutely incredible. One of a kind. It was a pleasure to watch him play the game.
