I remember the reaction when he took the field, it was so cool:



I remember where I was when I learned about his stroke...it was unreal. My wife and I were on an anniversary trip and I recall the complete shock at the news, which came across the ticker along the bottom during a local news report. We just looked at each other thinking he was way too young and obviously feared the worst.

However, not only did he come back, but he played well for a long time after that. Definitely nobody quite like him...he’s an all-time great. Enjoy listening to him on WEEI each week. Very cool

Bruschi was my favorite defensive player in the early years (it probably transitioned to Vrabel at some point). To me he’s the guy I think of as a signature model Patriot

Loved his play since 96. Scrappy, all motor, took advantage of every opportunity he was given earned.

Grazie Scotty...

I never thought i would be able to see live the Patriots 8 times with 2 Super Bowls...

Best Moment ever...confetti in Atlanta...but also in Minneapolis was something i will never forget...

I spent a lot of money for my team...but you live only once, correct ?

If you will hv opportunity try to go at Gillette...an "home" game is simply great

Thank you for this post! I remember the day that my then GF and I heard the news from my then sports news channel (BSPN) and I thought his career was over. I'm so happy that he not only came back, but he played well. I wish we could have gotten him another SB.

was at that game, incredible experience
