On Monday, August 31, 2009, New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Lacap Bruschi announced his retirement from professional football. Tedy played a key role in the three Patriot Championship teams of 2002, 2004, and 2005. His leadership on the field was rewarded by his teammates as he was chosen to be the Patriots’ defensive captain. In 2005 he suffered a mild stroke only to return months later to be a contributing defensive player to his team and earn the award for NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Bruschi was truly one of the best that ever played on the gridiron and has earned his place in Filipino American history as one of the elite athletes in American pro football.

    Damn that makes one less Pinoy in the NFL. Mad respect to the pride of Roseville, Pinoy Pro Bowler, Tedy Lacap Bruschi, who entered the league as a collegiate All American from U of A but, an undersized defensive end and who emerged 13 years NFL seasons later with a host of Super Bowl rings. A ‘backer so tough, he kicked a stroke’s ass. Way to go, TLB!
