A person familiar with his decision tells the Associated Press that the 36-year-old Bruschi will announce his retirement at a news conference Monday morning. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. The team declined to comment Sunday night and called a news conference "for an important player announcement" Monday morning. Bruschi, an inside linebacker, played on all three Super Bowl-winning Patriots teams. The last championship game was on Feb. 6, 2005, against the Philadelphia Eagles. He played in his only Pro Bowl on Feb. 13. Three days later, he was hospitalized after experiencing numbness in his left arm and left leg and blurry vision and was diagnosed with a mild stroke.Full Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I never liked him on the field, always seemed like a jerk. But off the field he seems like a really great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I didn't even know he was still around. I had sworn he retired or something after that stroke in 2006. As Belichick said, "he was a perfect player". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
