Sounds like a silly title, but I’m just thinking that maybe Tedy Bruschi’s small stroke was so small that it doesn’t even count as one, and that it won’t sideline him or end his career – although one has to think that if you are a 31 year old father who has a small stroke, you might consider moving to a less head-trauma-y field.
I am guessing his wife will be all over his butt for him to retire now, and I can’t say I blame her one bit. Even if they come back and say that this had nothing at all to do with what the man does for a living, is there anyone out there on the planet who doesn’t think that having a job that requires you to pound and be pounded might cause a head injury of this type? I thought so.
So Tedy, we’re all out here rooting for you, sending you health vibes, etc. And know that while it will be devastating to us, we totally understand that you’re going to have to do what makes the most sense to you and your family, even if that means retiring.
