Nice way to tribute the man, GB.

I really could go on and on for hours about Teddy.

On the business side, this was expected, most likely he was going to be cut. But Bruschi took the high road and called it quits.

On the who knows side, could we see teddy join junior and come back one day? Or will he take the troy brown/rodney harrison route and go into broadcasting. Or maybe coach?

On the sentimental side, he was amazing. The face of this franchises defense for over a decade. I loved him when we were average, I loved him when we were bad, and I loved him when we were winning. When he had the stroke I almost broke down. I knew he wasn't gonna comeback. Knew it. Then he proved us all wrong when he stepped on the field. An amazing player and I wish him all the best in retirement.

Easily one of my favorite Pats of all time. He's been a class act and nothing but a professional. He will be missed. I just wish he could have went out with one more ring.

I'll echo what everyone else said. Loved the guy. I still have my Bruschi shirt with the fake Budweiser logo on it that says "Bruschi: King of Defense" instead of "Budweiser:King of Beers" I'll be wearing it today. Patriots fans love you Tedy, hopefully you can stick around the organization somehow.

I was at that game He will be missed but it was time for sure. I thought he would stay on the roster to be a mentor but I guess not.

Anyone see Bellichick at the press conference? Jeez, I have never seen him before like that.
