A little bit of history on that--on all Bills boards "Saint Tedy" gets that treatment. It all started when he came back for that Sunday night game against us after his stroke and the ESPN jokers were going on and on and on about him and his recovery, making it sound like he was a one-man wrecking crew solely responsible on his own for the Bills defeat (when in reality, he was still getting in game shape and about 203 steps too slow to every play). The running joke was that Bruschi made the tackle so long as he was within 5 yards of the guy when he went down. From hearing the announcers tell it, Tedy did everything, including curing cancer.....

Like I said it's good for a chuckle. ESPN did take that just a BIT too far.

Those hosers will only get grumpier when they have to watch the Los Angeles Bills play in a few years.

they even made up a new stat for that game that i have never seen before or since. "hits" - and they were actively counting how many times bruschi hit someone.

Hmmm...Yeah, i like that one "19 and d'oh" icon that one member has. Not that losing 4 superbowls in a row was bad or anything..... Hey, why not make fun of kids with cancer while we're at it. Sounds like someone is insecure about their girlfriend as well. I can't believe i actually respect their franchise.

I believe that is the Toronto Bills.

I'm sure playing "Hero" by Nickelback going into every commercial break didn't help matters....

Gotta love that a team with one of the worst fanbases in the entire league 20 years ago can make jokes at one of the best. Congrats on your team winning (legally or not), but maybe you guys should remember (if you were a fan before they won Super Bowls) that you weren't always an elite franchise.

As for Tedy, it was a hell of a return but ESPN simply just over did like they always did. In a game that came down to the last possesion, nothign else was talked about.
