From the sound of it, maybe he should quit dwelling on it. He seems to place some blame on his current state for the fact that he is still reminded of it. Sounds to me like he places blame on it rather than where it should be...on himself. Take some friggin' accountability for yourself Reche, man' up and move on.

That's about the journalist, not Reche.
"I'm not gonna blame football or concussions like everybody else for my mistakes," Reche said. "I don't blame my education or my hometown or my family. I have a great family. I had a great childhood. I grew up in a great place. This is about losing my way, being around bad people and making bad choices, and that's all on me."
Different outcome 100% guaranteed. He lost alot of that game. His job in New England, his reputation and his NFL career.
Instead he would have been the guy who helped the Patriots beat Indy and then beat the Bears.

If he doesn't catch Brady's late game bomb at SD they don't get to the afc title gameWonder how his life changes if he catches those two passes in the AFC championship game.

Wow, consider me shocked that there would be factual inaccuracies in an ESPN piece.That's true and he beat the Chargers' best corner, Quentin Jammer. Not 10 minutes later, 6 year-old Philip Rivers was shrieking at Ellis Hobbs, calling him the worst corner in football. I'm guessing the irony of this is wasted on Mr. Rivers to this day.
A minor correction - the article says the Caldwell scored the game winning TD against SD. Not so. He caught a 49 yard pass and was tackled at the 17 yard line. Game was tied 21-21 at the time. Gostkowski kicked the game winner. 24-21 final after missed Charger FG attempt.

I found the part about his reaction to the flash bomb and his general stupidity a little amusing but, yeah you're right it is really sad. Reche seems like a genuine good guy who made a couple of big mistakes. Big props to him for taking responsibility for his actions. I don't hold anything against him (If we're being real the refs were more responsible...dude got mugged on 3rd down in the endzone on the final drive what the ****?).WAsn't really funny..sad really. And if those catches really had that much of an influence on his life..even more sad. Some players just take it really hard when they let a team and fan base down..hell look at Welker with that drop in the SB that would have won it...mentally that has to be just devastating
If I remember correctly he wasn't tackled, he stepped out of bounds. Failed to regain his balance after the catch, otherwise he could've scored. Perhaps he even should've scored since there was enough space to regain the balance. Good thing that Ghost made the FG and Kaeding missed a game-tying 54-yarder. Otherwise between Caldwell's missed TD and the soft D at the end allowing the Chargers to pick up like 40 yards in a minute without timeouts would've looked really bad.A minor correction - the article says the Caldwell scored the game winning TD against SD.
