As it should be. There will be a celebration honoring the ultimate NEP.
Crafting labor deal is a top priority for Patriots owner - The Boston Globe
The team hasn’t made a formal announcement, but those holding tickets for one of the biggest regular-season games ever played in Foxborough may have noticed Bruschi’s picture and a notation on the ticket.
The night will be similar to the one that honored former receiver Troy Brown on Nov. 13, 2008 — a Thursday night matchup with the Jets.
“Tedy was kind enough to let us honor him,’’ said Patriots owner Robert Kraft. “We know he’s working for ESPN, and knowing what a beloved rival the New York Jets are, we thought it was appropriate.’’
“I think Tedy, like Troy Brown and others, just represent what our brand and team and organization stand for, the way he overcame many things and showed great leadership and the way he played on the field,’’ Kraft said.
“Having a guy like him who plays his whole career here, who had a chance to leave for a higher income and didn’t — he wanted to remain part of the organization and put team first and be a great leader — that’s the model,’’ Kraft said.
