Patriots Ted Johnson Retires
 

:sick: First Bruschi, and now Ted Johnson.....damn.....Johnson was my favorite linebacker....hell of a tough guy.....great career and a true champion....he wil be missed.....not good signs for the Pats repeating IMO..........

Ouch!!! That hurts. That guy was awesome at plugging up the holes

What's up with that? He had a good season last year.

His statement said he can no longer ignore the short and long term impact on his health due to successive concussions......hope he is alright.

I'm sure it was something he has been thinking about but I wish he had said something earlier though. Full squad practices start tomorrow. It's gonna be a tough void to fill.

A couple more key players leave or retire and we may start to look like the Raiders...

ted I can understand, tuff sob

BUT WTF is up with Manny , did you check out todays Boston globe?
UGLY, it looks like it can only get worse from here,lets hope not!

With all the linebackers signed this off season, it's as if they knew . . . . . . . .

GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!

They probably DID know

Ted was a quiet leader. He will be sorely missed. Definitley a throwback player.

Yeah, it must really suck to be 10 deep at linebacker, huh?

My freakin' Giants can't even put 3 good ones on the field at one time :doh: :wall:

Thanks for the memories Ted..
It was reported this afternoon that his Doctors would not give him clearance to play anymore.. :crying:

Now he's got the rest of the summer to catch up on romance novels. :lm:
He was awesome and will be missed, one of the rocks this team was built on. What a career...and the timing couldn't be better.
It is nice to see those boys on RT1 staying a step ahead.

GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go,
You guys are starting early with the excuses for when the Raiders come to town and kick their asses!!! :hihi:

Poor Raider Ronnie....Getting his hopes up high already... :laughs: GP PATS..
