OK, Patriots, not cool.

Tedy Bruschi appeared to retire by choice, but the Patriots just sold Richard Seymour down-river, trading him for a draft pick to the Raiders, of all teams. This comes months after sending Mike Vrabel to Kansas City.

Not cool, Patriots, not cool. I'm all for the team and the system and winning, but I'm sick of seeing our favorite Patriots (and the ones who were the foundation for the decade's success) sent away. Who's next, Brady?

Nooooooooo! Sad news for Pats fans

It's a sad day for New England Patriots fans, as well-loved veteran linebacker Tedy Bruschi announces he'll be retiring. The rest of the football world knows Bruschi as the gutsy linebacker who returned from a stroke to play in the NFL; Pats fans know him as the defensive rock that led the Patriots to their three titles earlier this decade. Timely interceptions, walking on his knees through the snow, screaming in intimidation from behind his facemask...he is not the last Patriots veteran to leave, but he was one of the best.
