His buddy Ordway tried to compare it with Bruschi being on ESPN as an analyst and sitting in Kraft's box for the AFCCG. That analogy only works if Bruschi played for the Giants, lives in the tri-state area, works on the Giants post-game shows, pregame shows, does a radio interview every Monday with Coughlin on WFAN, does a mid-week Giants tailgating show and is a regular on WFAN doing Giants' analysis. Bruschi is none of those things. It was a feeble attempt by Ordway to defend his buddy and by WEEI to protect their brand. DeOssie sounded every bit the politician trying to cover his ass and even his apology wasn't really an apology. It was more in line with, I'm not sorry I did it, I'm really sorry I got caught. By all acounts, DeOssie is a clean recovering alcoholic and coke addict. At least, if he happened to be loaded when this happened, he'd have a semi-excuse. But, he wasn't and he doesn't. All of his local employers just want this to go away, but that shouldn't happen. His comments were insulting to all Pats fans, players and the entire region he claims to "love" when he talks to WEEI, but claims to "struggle with" when he speaks in NY. Fraud.
