There were many great things to see at the game last night. Being there is so much different than watching it on television. Both have their positive points. The camera work on television displays the game in a great way. The instant replay and slow motion is phenomenal.
Being at the stadium is a different experience. You see match-ups on the field, especially with special teams, that you don't see at home.
I was glad I was able to see the ceremony for Tedy Bruschi. Television showed a couple of soundbites from what I heard.
Bruschi is part of a vanishing breed of players who spend their entire career with one team. That was his goal when he came into the NFL.
His 13 year tenure is a tribute to that. I heard Vince Wilfolk say today that he doesn't ever want to play for another coach other than Belichick. Vince has a five year contract, but will he even be able to fulfill it? Will his play decline at all to the point where the team would part ways?
You never know. Will Tom Brady play his whole career at Gillette? Some "experts" say that at the "end of his career" he will play with the future team in Los Angels.
Who knows what will happen? All of this makes Bruschi's accomplishment very special. Troy Brown is the only other stalwart of the Super Bowl teams that spent his entire career with one team.
This is an awesome accomplishment in these days of the NFL and professional sports.
