Bledsoe - Retired

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18065139/

While I am much happier with Brady at the helm I gotta say Bledsoe was the QB that turned this franchise around and added many great memories for this fan...Too bad he never could get that statuectomy...

SO glad Parcells picked him instead of Mirer

But he played hard, and tough, and was great for New England.


(now I feel old as he is the first "kid" I followed as an adult coming out of college, into the bigs, and retiring - mid life crisis coming soon )

Saw that coming. I liked him when he was here and I liked him even more when he left and made room for Brady.

Bledsoe rookie cards

I'm glad he picked Bledoe over Mirer also. I have 88 Bledsoe rookie cards. No chit.

A nice guy who is smart enough to see the writing on the wall. Plenty of money saved up I am sure. Good luck and thanks again M. Lewis.

Before Dallas, I thought he was going to retire. Just guessed that he would put in a few more years at a fix me up franchise or as a strong back up.

I told my wife last season that he would retire this year. He was a class act. Never bitched once about not getting his starting job back, helped them win so they could go on to win their first SB and cheered for his replacement.
He took more than his fair share of grief and too many people forgot that for a long time, he was the only reason the Pats had winning seasons.
I wish him luck.
