Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi had decided to retire at the age of 36.  He played in 13 games for the Patriots last season making 75 tackles and defensing 1 pass.  Bruschi played 13 years for the Patriots appearing in 189 games in which he made 1,065 tackles, defensed 59 passes, had 30.5 sacks, forced 18 fumbles and he picked off 12 passes (4 of which he returned for TDs).  Bruschi will go down as one of the best football players in Patriots’ team history and he should make it to the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.  The Patriots will miss Bruschi’s leadership and his knack for making game changing plays.
