He'll be missed, but hopefully Jerod Mayo will be able to fill those big shoes. He was a great player, both on and off the field.

The distinction was Bruschi's genuine love for the game. Favre isn't having fun until the camera's focused on him.

It was the kind of dream we have for ourselves, and in living it, Tedy Bruschi not only entertained us but lifted our very spirits." That's it. Well said, Scott. I think that's why he connected with fans on a whole different level than many other players do. I just enjoyed watching the guy play if for no other reason than he seemed to be enjoying the hell out of it himself. He retires a champion and does it the right way. “From modest beginnings this Everyman reached the ultimate goal, armed only with his God-given abilities and honest, relentless effort.
