Bruschi's Back!: Great News for the Ailing Patriots
The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots get a much needed boost by activating linebacker and defensive leader, Tedy Bruschi this week.
Bruschi has been out of the Patriots' line-up since suffering a stroke ten days after helping lead the Patriots to their second straight Super Bowl win. Fears were that Bruschi's career as a professional football player were over.
The Patriots (3-3) are not likely to utitilize Bruschi to a great extent in tonight's game against the Buffalo Bills, but as he continues to regain momentum, we should see more action from the player who carries the heart and soul of this champion defense. If we're lucky, we'll see more of Bruschi on the field than expected.
Though the Patriots have had a rough start, it is way too early to count them out for a third run to the top of the championship hill. With many of the top players in the injured column, coupled with a tough opening schedule, the Pats 3-3 record (with a couple of the games being near-misses) probably does little justice to the their actual performance under the circumstances. Lesser teams would be nursing the wounds of a winless season.
Welcome back to Tedy Bruschi: a great football player and an all around classy guy.
