We Love you Tedy Bruschi!

7.20.2005

Tedy Bruschi announced to day, that he was going to take the season off from football. Tedy, you will be missed.

For those of you who don't know, Tedy Bruschi is a linebacker for the New England Patriots. This off season, he had a mild stroke. He was only in his early 30's.

Any familar with the NFL, is probably familar with Bruschi, and his contributions to making the Patriots from the laughing stocks of the league, to the most dominant football team of the last 5 years. Bruschi was a central figure to this resurgence.

Bruschi is not only one of the best middle linbackers in professional football, but, unlike many modern pro athletes, he is a wonderful person. A great husband, wonderful father, generous with both his time and his money, Bruschi is the type of person, you would want you kids to look up to. And he also lives to play football. No whining, grandstanding (well only snowangels), plays hard and at 100% on every down.

Tedy, you are beloved in New England, and we are all pulling for you. We hope and pray to see you throw on number 54 next year. In a time when the pro athlete no longer can associate with being the "little guy", you are a throwback, and I hope we see your smiling face on the Patriots sideline this year. You are and continue to be a inspiration to us all.

I am Malach, and you are not.

He's the type of guy people name charitable organizations after.

Another note: for those of you unfamiliar with football, it's pronounced Brewski. What's better than watching football? Watching football with a Bruschi!

Yes, true. Bruschi has done extensive charity work, all with a huge smile on his face.
