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...

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   |

Now he's got the rest of the summer to catch up on romance novels. 
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
