Top 10 Troy Brown moments

[AVrabel50Fan]

My absolute favorite Troy Brown moment was when he caught Vinatieri's touchdown pass during the St. Louis Rams game! I just loved that play!!

All of those are good, thank you all. I would like to add a few.
1. The countless number of times Brady threw it to Brown over the middle on 3rd down for a 1st down, Brown always received a vicious hit but he always held onto the ball and he always got up with a smile on his face. He was fearless and the most dependable receiver we ever had, tough as nails, great hands but most importantly always found a way to get open.
2. All of his game changing punt returns, there were so many. I have never been so pumped as i was right before Troy Brown was going to take a punt upfield.
3. When he turned down being a Saint then a Jet, he is PURE PATRIOT.
4. Answering a tough question from his upset boy today.

'' If you love football so much why did you retire? [Asked by his son]

Brown: It’s something that’s out of my control. I would love to keep playing but there comes a time when the man upstairs called God, you can’t out run him as much as you try to and want to. He just catches up to you and tells you that you’re 37 years old. You’re knee is supposed to be hurting. You’re hip is not in great shape. You can’t run as fast as you used to. There’s a bunch of 22-year-old guys out there that are taking your place. I’m no longer 22 and in this game. There are very few places for guys that are 37 years old. Therefore, you have to move on and create other goals and things to achieve and you try to push on and achieve those things. It’s a sad day for me too. I saw you out there crying for me and I love you and it’s going to be ok. Daddy’s still going to be around football and he still loves football. If you want to play football he’ll come watch you play and teach you how to play too. As long as you don’t get mad at him when I coach you too hard and when I get on you too hard. That’s just a part of the game. You get older and you’re not able to keep up as well as you used to.
Therefore you have to leave the game. I’ve got more time too sit down and watch it with you, whenever you want to. That’s what happens. ''

Oh man, it's getting dusty in here.

That's one heckuva paragraph spoken by one heckuva man.

Reading something - instead of listening to it - hardly ever brings me pause; but the strength, the integrity and the love contained in those words have done just that.
