would like some feedback here. the guy had a hole in his heart and a stroke. is it worth coming back to play???? whats he got to prove??? is it worth risking his life for??? I know how much you fans think of him him. I say if hes financially set pack it in. just not worth the risk. plus this CAN come back to haunt him later in life. I know his father in law tried to talk him out of it but im surprised his wife went along with it. ?????

His doctors cleared him.He isnt risking his life.If he felt like he was,he wouldnt be playing.

The guy lives for football.If he wouldnt have come back, he would have spent the rest of his life wondering "what if".

I was concerned about Tedy's safety on the field when he came back. We all were. When I heard him say, in such a heartfelt way, that football is his job, his life, I decided that he knows what he's doing, and, sounds like, he doesn't want to live without football, at least not yet. He has my blessing, FWIW.

Well, let's revisit this again for the 1,000,000,000,000 time. And, lets do it on a day when we have an important playoff game.

Ten of the best specialists in the country unanimously cleared him to play.

The only hurdle at that point was psychological.

Brushci has said he went to as many doctors as he could find trying to find one who said he shouldnt play. None did.

I think your impressions of him being in a life threatening situation are just totally wrong. Every doctor found disagrees. Therefore the questions in your post arent relevant

I've never heard that playing football has ever caused a stroke. I thought I read that it was always a question of him recovering enough from the damage that the stroke inflicted to be able to play. It's pretty obvious he did.

you dont think a stroke is life threatning??? well is is. at any age. I can tell you this. these doctors and specialists and ever kind of "ologist" give him a "risk factor". meaning theres no guarentee. carson palmer's injury started me to thinking bout this.
I know this is a bad time, on game day, to bring it up. but there's no guarentee from ANY doctor.

He is a couple of months late on this thread.......I wonder if he knows it is 2006 yet or that KC did not make the playoffs?
