Just heard that on Imus. Bummer, may end his career. BUT, better to lose a career then have it be worse, like parrallisis or death.

He was great before the game with his kids out on the field, just havin fun.

He's done plenty to be able to end his career. He's prolly got a huge future in broadcasting.

Bruschi would make a GREAT coach. If he has to retire (selfish part of me doesn't want him to, but he has to do what's right), I could see him being an assistant somewhere for a couple of years (or broadcasting, like you said, for the short-term), then becoming a LB coach somewhere. He is one smart dude....

ESPN is now reporting that he has a hole in his heart... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2015210

I'm not a Patriots fan, but I admired the guy for his intensity and work ethic.
