Tedy Bruschi breaks his wrist... Out for the rest of the preseason

Patriots' Bruschi Has Broken Wrist

The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi has a broken wrist and will not play in any preseason games, coach Bill Belichick said early Wednesday through a team spokesman.

It was not clear whether Bruschi, 33, will be available for the Patriots' regular-season opener Sept. 10 against the Buffalo Bills.

Bruschi was injured July 31, likely in morning practice, and has missed the team's last 10 workouts.

Bruschi missed the first six games last season after suffering a mild stroke just 10 days after the Patriots 24-21 Super Bowl victory over Philadelphia on Feb. 6, 2005.

After saying he would sit out the season, Bruschi returned in late October and helped lead the Patriots to a third straight division title. He shared the Comeback Player of the Year award last season with Carolina receiver Steve Smith.

Bruschi's absence is another blow to the Patriots, who suffered three significant free-agent losses: kicker Adam Vinatieri, receiver David Givens and linebacker Willie McGinest.

The team is also dealing with a contract holdout by top receiver Deion Branch.

The Patriots got good news Monday when safety Rodney Harrison, center Dan Koppen, defensive end Richard Seymour, cornerback Randall Gay and defensive lineman Johnathan Sullivan were taken off the physically-unable-to-perform list and participated in practice.

With Bruschi sidelined, the team has been working veteran Barry Gardner at inside linebacker.

I'd make a comment here about the toughness of Tedy's genitals, but that would be truly, truly inappropriate.

[Taco John]

Some wimps "retire" to get out of the monotony of preseason. At least Tedy takes the "man's way out."

[Atlas]

This breaks my heart. I think I'll go cry now.

You'd have to ban yourself! :ban:

You think Roaf is coming back?

[MrPeepers]

You can't hold up the world all the time, shoulda given chuck norris a turn.

[Wes Mantooth]

You think Roaf is coming back?
I would bet your season on it.

[Clockwork Orange]

You think Roaf is coming back?

You sound pretty desperate for someone who recently was trying to convince everyone that Roaf retiring was really no big deal.

[Kaylore]

I would bet your season on it.
Ding!

[Dr. Broncenstein]

What wasn't reported: Teddy gnarfled the Garthok with one hand tied behind his back. Sure, he sustained a minor injury to his wrist... but sh!t happens when you b!tch-slap a lethal alien beast to death...

/unavailable for comment... 'cause he's dead

[Taco John]

You think Roaf is coming back?


I don't care if Roaf is coming back. It doesn't matter to me. This isn't a thread about the Chiefs. It's irritating to everyone here that you try to turn every thread you touch into something about the Chiefs.

[Vegas_Bronco]

I don't know why people are still arguing with Bob...he's always wrong!!!

[Los Broncos]

Wow, to bad teddy, get well soon.

/much more interesting than talking about the Chiefs.

[Steve Sewell]

You think Roaf is coming back?

Does it really matter? You have a guy "who lives in a van, down by the river" as your head coach.

[Steve Sewell]

Wow, to bad teddy, get well soon.
I sense a Tedy storm coming at you...not only for incorrectly spelling his first name, but also for not capitalizing the "T".

[Vegas_Bronco]

With Bruschi sidelined, the team has been working veteran Barry Gardner at inside linebacker.

From Tedy Bruschi to Berry Gardener......damn!

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I don't care if Roaf is coming back. It doesn't matter to me. This isn't a thread about the Chiefs. It's irritating to everyone here that you try to turn every thread you touch into something about the Chiefs.

You started it with the Roaf comment. I'm just wondering what your opinion is.

[Taco John]

You started it with the Roaf comment. I'm just wondering what your opinion is.

I didn't make a Roaf comment. I never mentioned Roaf at all.

[Florida_Bronco]

You started it with the Roaf comment. I'm just wondering what your opinion is.

He didn't say jack **** about Roaf, so go take your Chiefs talk down the road to Crap Planet.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I didn't make a Roaf comment. I never mentioned Roaf at all.

Oh, so you weren't talking about Roaf when you said:

Bob we can't ALL be TJ's best friend...:rofl:

[Steve Sewell]

Bob, I'm sure he was referring to Gary Zimmerman here. Relax.

[Taco John]

I was making a point about Tedy Bruschi. If I wanted to talk about Willie Roaf and the loser Chiefs, I'd go find a message board somewhere that talks about Chiefs football.

[DivineLegion]

Oh, so you weren't talking about Roaf when you said:

Bob your bitching sounds like an 11 year old kid at the Pool I work at...thats just sick!

[Bob's your Information Minister]

All I needed was a yes or no. :(

[SoCalBronco]

Roaf is coming back (at least I think he is).

[Steve Sewell]

Don't take it personally. I'm just Chiefed out. I'm more focused on teams that I think are going to challenge us. Not teams that have hired Herm Edwards.

[Clockwork Orange]

And another thread bites the dust at the sausage-fingered hands of meatpeeker.

That's becoming way too common an occurance these days....

Steve's obssession with me is becoming worrisome.

WAY too common...

Bruschi threads are a lot of fun when insecure Chiefs fans aren't interrupting them begging us to validate their team's chances for them.

[SoCalBronco]

Steve's obssession with me is becoming worrisome.

And you're obsession with c0ck is becoming beyond disgusting.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Bah. This thread degenerated, but all I did was ask a question.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

And you're obsession with cock is becoming beyond disgusting.

Why even lump yourself in with the other ne'er do wells by making comments like this? You're not doing yourself any favors.

[Steve Sewell]

Steve's obssession with me is becoming worrisome.

Obssession? I think that's a little overstated. How am I supposed to avoid you when you hijack just about every thread on the Mane? Am I supposed to just not post here?

I think you are the one who is obssessed. After all, you were claiming that I called your house! You are such a dumbass Bob, but I'm guessing you already know that.

[Taco John]

And you're obsession with c0ck is becoming beyond disgusting.



Pick it up SoCal. You're a mod. That's definitely not the tone our mods should be setting.

[Clockwork Orange]

Why even lump yourself in with the other ne'er do wells by making comments like this?

The 24 year old who asks around for tips on how to build a better Boba Fett costume is calling someone else a ne'er do well?

OK, now I've heard it all.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Steve. Just put me on ignore. It'll be better for all of us.

[Steve Sewell]

Why even lump yourself in with the other ne'er do wells by making comments like this? You're not doing yourself any favors.

Oh but you're doing yourself a lot of favors here, Bob. Are you delusional enough to think SoCal finds value with being in your good graces?

[SureShot]

Go away fat ass!!!!

[Taco John]

Bah. This thread degenerated, but all I did was ask a question.



Serioulsy dude. I get a TON of complaints because of all the thread hijacking you do. I don't mind it when you start a thread and play with those who are attracted to it... But when you turn a Tedy Bruschi thread into some sort of Roaf validation and take us off track for 20 posts, it gets pretty weak.

I could seriously care less about Roaf. He's a non-factor at his age because he can't hold up an entire season anyway. I don't know if Roaf is coming back and I don't care.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I sold that thing last year.

[Atlas]

I guess this would be appropriate here.

Although it's inaccurate Bob has made the Orangemane his own little forum where everything revolves around him. Nice job Bob.

[Steve Sewell]

Bob's next post is 14,000. That's 14,000 posts in 2 years and 4 months...as a Chiefs fan on a Broncos board.

Hmmmm....and you are calling some of us ne'er do wells?

[Florida_Bronco]

Pick it up SoCal. You're a mod. That's definitely not the tone our mods should be setting.

I respect your opinion and all TJ, but if I had a dime for everytime Bob posted something about penis, I'd have a small down payment on a car. Bob plays into that stuff.

[MrPeepers]

why is he allowed here? with all the grief he provides why do we let him pollute the community? this is a real question. it's not like he provides anything useful, he's strictly a source of animosity and irritation.

[Taco John]

The ignore function still works doesn't it?

Why aren't more people using it?

[Florida_Bronco]

The ignore function still works doesn't it?

I know 2 people that have tried that, and it's unsucessful because people keep quoting him so they see it anyways.

Bob's not a bad guy, but he needs an attitude adjustment sometimes.

[Clockwork Orange]

The ignore function still works doesn't it?

Of course, but it doesn't keep entire threads from being wrecked by one simpleton who tries to turn them all into pissing matches involving his team....regardless of whether his team was a part of the discussion or not. He's reaching mock levels of thread destruction.

The ignore feature isn't going to solve that.

[Florida_Bronco]

:spit:

[Atlas]

Of all the posters on the Mane the threads he starts or the ones he hijacks are the ones with the most posts. Granted I have him on ignore and I think he is bad for the forum as a whole but he does get responses, I think that's why TJ likes him so much. LOL

[BroncoMatt]

Good luck with that. I've slummed over to the planet, 90% of the threads are about anything but Chiefs football.

[BroncoBuff]

I didn't make a Roaf comment. I never mentioned Roaf at all.
No you didn't.

And I hate to "side" with Boob ... but I immediately thought of Roaf when I read your post too...

[bendog]

Boob's really Clayton, the homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with that) lonely canadian pos hockey fan from the old dpo avs board? I can see it.

[Dagmar]

Damn damn. I thought this thread was gonna be 3 pages of Bruschi hilarity, instead it was destroyed. Bob, if you really are a Scotsman (born) I am utterly ashamed you thread hijacking ****ebag.

[bendog]

OK, If Tedy was really Tedy, he'd cut his arm off so the break didn't effect his ability to practice.

[Mile High Shack]

Teddy doesn't need wrists to break you in half

[Hotrod]

Damn damn. I thought this thread was gonna be 3 pages of Bruschi hilarity, instead it was destroyed. Bob, if you really are a Scotsman (born) I am utterly ashamed you thread hijacking ****ebag.

Exactly boob is getting completely out of control lately. As far as the iggy feature its almost worthless for the above named reasons. Boob stop fricking hijacking every fricking thread on the Mane its getting ****ing old...

[NYBronc]

Oh, so you weren't talking about Roaf when you said:

I took it as a nod to Tedy's ubiquity.

By the way when Tedy plays golf, he usually shoots an 18 or less.

[loborugger]

With everything around being softer than ole' Tedy, the only thing he could have broken his wrist on was his other wrist.

[Dagmar]

Well I will bring it up again, Preadater and Assly for Graham...make it happen!!

What makes this kinda funny quote absolutely hilarious to me (simple minds...) is your avatar. Now that's funny!

[Arkansas Bronco]

I'd love to know the eveolutionary rationale behind the lower tusks protruding upwards. I have to believe that those would only come in useful against beasts much larger than the, ahem, Garthok, itself...

/much more interesting than talking about the Chiefs.
He uses the lower tusks when coming out of a 3 point stance. I thought everyone knew that.

[Steve Sewell]

Yes, I noticed that too. That chick knows what she was doing with that outfit...

The tusk upward is to fight off the flying Chuck Norris when he comes in with a roundabout to his slimy head. That photo is what I imagine what Watermock looks like when he had his 12 pack by 11 am.

I thought the Garthok came from Chuck defecating after eating some bad cabbage, no? Then the tusks were flipped when he roundhoused him to a galaxy far, far, far away.

[bendog]

If the real Tedy broke his wrist, he'd rip Boob's spine out and use his body for an ace bandage and not miss single series.

[loborugger]

Bob has a spine???

[NYBronc]

Tedy is what Willis was talkin' 'bout.

[-Slap-]

And another thread bites the dust at the sausage-fingered hands of meatpeeker.

WAAAAY too common.

[-Slap-]

Back on topic, this is a bad injury for Tedy. He has to meet and jam blockers constantly, so a wrist injury is going to effect him. He's the type of LB who uses his hands a lot. He'll have to wear some kind of cast/club, so you can forget about those key interceptions he has a knack for collecting, too.

[dnvrbrncos]

When I find his phone number eventually somehow, you will be the first one to get it. :wiggle:

You know, he posted a picture not to long ago of what he claimed was his car. The license plate was clearly visible, so if you know someone in law enforcement....
