A Goodbye to Bruschi | Comcast SportsNet New England
Quote:
Over his 13 years in New England, Tedy Bruschi was a walking football cliché—and I mean that in the most affectionate of ways.

I mean that he really was the ultimate leader, on and off the field; that he really did care more about the team, and his teammates, than he did about himself; that he really would sacrifice any personal goal or achievement in the name of victory.

I mean that guys like Bruschi are the reason those clichés exist.

Apologies if already posted but I found this quote from Rodney the most telling in attempting to crystallize when/why pro-athletes call it quits. FROM MMQB:

"He told former teammate Rodney Harrison recently he was having trouble with his legs, and if he lost the ability to make plays sideline-to-sideline and in coverage, he had no chance to beat out the bevy of young linebackers Belichick had brought in over the past three or four years. "

Sounds like BB and Tedy both knew what the right thing was. He didn't want to be Willie Mays circa 1972..
