So long, old friend

Well, it was probably only a matter of time. When Mike Vrabel left for Kansas City to keep Matt Cassel company, I worried that Tedy Bruschi simply wouldn't be able to find the strength to keep on keepin' on.

Turns out, Bruschi is retiring after all.

We're going to miss him around these parts, that's for sure. Though something tells me that Bruschi will never be far from Patriots football and I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to see him join Belichick's army of be-hoodie'd coaches sometime in the near future.

More later when I have a chance to process and reflect. But for now, be well, Tedy.
