The Patriots announced today that former linebacker Ted Bruschi will be the next member inducted into the team’s Hall Of Fame. Bruschi edged out former head coach Chuck Fairbanks and offensive tackle Leon Gray. It was just a matter of time before Bruschi, who embodied “The Patriots Way, would receive this honor.
“Mr. Kraft called me on the phone last night and let me know, gave me the news,” Bruschi said. “He told me he was very proud of me to be inducted in the Patriots Hall of Fame, and I told him how much it meant to me.”
Bruschi was drafted in 1996 in the third round out of Arizona University. He appeared in five Super Bowls with the Patriots winning three. However, championships did not define the man or the player. He was measured by his dedication, leadership and courage. The latter being tested after he suffered a stroke in 2005.
Most players would have called it quits after such a health scare, but not Mr. Full Tilt, Full Time. The word quit is not part of Bruschi’s vocabulary. He fought and clawed his way back and returned to play three more seasons for the only NFL team he knew.
And gave Patriots fans a lifetime of memories…..Congratulations Tedy.
Looks like former Patriots teammates Tom Brady & Tedy Bruschi are quite the fans of Kentucky Derby winner Orb. TB12 was rocking his bow tie and giddy as a school girl before he was gang tackled by Bruschi and others.
Patriots fans everywhere remember last time Tom & Tedy went this BONKERS!
Hopefully, Orb can return the favor when Tom leads the Patriots to their first Super Bowl victory in nine years.
Tim Tebow was cut by the New York Jets which could have been the BEST thing for him. As the internet is making fun of Timmy calling the above photo the new “Tebowing”, he should hold his head high.
The seas are parting for the prodigal son to return to his rightful place. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will be waiting for Tim Tebow with open arms.
“We saw him play last year. He quarterbacked that team to the playoffs, (the) Denver (Broncos),” Belichick said Tuesday (via ESPNBoston.com). “In addition to some of the quarterbacking things, he’s done a lot of other things with the Jets, so, yeah, of course he’s a valuable guy.”
“He doesn’t always line up at quarterback when he’s in there on offense, so you have to be ready to deal with him at other positions as well,” Belichick said. “He’s a good runner, he’s a strong runner, very strong. He’s mobile in the pocket, (a) smart player, he can do a lot of different things. Different option plays and things like that, so you certainly have to be aware of him when he’s in there.”
And what does BB LOVE?
High value at low or NO cost.
So don’t be surprised when Tim Tebow is invited to training camp. The kid is a winner and what he may lack in arm strength he makes up for leadership, passion and determination.

For all the crap that Rob Gronkowski gets (some merited), he always takes out time for charities or bring smiles to people that are suffering like the victims of the terrorist attacks on Boston. Patriots running back Stevan Ridley will be holding a dodgeball tournament to support the Children of Boston Marathon Tragedy fund.
Ridley & Gronk exemplify the CLASS of the New England Patriots organization.
