pretty reliable source

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I live in same town as many Patriots, friend of mine on Police Department just told me Teddy Brueski linebacker on the Patriots just passed away

this would be terrible news, and I hope I'm wrong, and someone is telling stories, I honestly hope I'm wrong. I Recently was talking to Brueski about meeting HOKIE FANS young sons, because they live in same town here, and are having a difficult time since their dads passing away. This isn't on any news stations yet, and I hope I wrong, but don't believe it is a rumor unfortunately.

didn't hear any details, other than he died in his home from 5 p.m. Eastern. Many probably remember he did have a stroke couple years ago, but did come back & play, and play successfully last season half way through the season. Training camp started Friday. I really hope this isn't true, but I'm nearly positive it is the case. Brueski has 3 very young children, around town he is one of the best people anyone would want to meet.

Unfortunately much like Reggie Lewis, for the Celtics years ago, everyone will come out saying he should never have gone back to playing football.

Sham I really hope this is some kind of misunderstanding or this guy is playing a sick joke on you. I Know you wouldn't post this if you didn't think it is true that's what worries me...

I hope it is NOT true for his young kids sake...

Al & blitz, I absolutely hope I'm wrong, probably shouldn't have posted anything until I was absolutely sure. But it was a shock, and a pretty reliable guy told me, not a best friend or anything, but a normal guy around town. Never has started rumors or any thing previously. Sports radio in Boston said it was unconfirmed. Called another guy on the town fire department, who isn't working presently, but said someone called him and said same thing. Also said Brueski s parents were out of the country vacationing, and nothing was being released until they were notified.

Al, believe me I hope I'm wrong. I have never posted anything on here not true or rumors. I didn't like posting with what happened with H fan, but unfortunately was true. I have met Brueski, and believe me he is about as good a guy as anyone could meet, not a pac man Jones or some other idiot.

believe me, I would rather be wrong and be sorry I posted this. Trying to call other people around town, seems everyone out enjoying the weather.

Was at his first game back from the stroke and when he first came through the tunnel about an hour before the game, it was louder (with 1/3 of the crowd there) than any other game I've attended with a full crowd. Just defening..

Some bills fan started mocking bruschi mid-way threw the 3rd quarter while the pats were down about 10 points and got the shit beat out of him..even the patriots players were looking up at the ruckus ..pats then come back to win late in the 4th...best game ever

see no confirmation

see no confirmation

the sports talk radio here is all Boston stuff.

said rumor started last night. Enough "reliable reports" came in that reporters sent out feelers to thier sources---and this got the rumor going more.

The rumor this morning said he collapsed at a Patriots practice, but they didn't have one today.

the discussion board at Boston Globe had a thread on this and it was taken down.

I remember when rumors spread on Darryl Kile's death, I was able to confirm it quickly from a TV reporter's mention hours before it became official.

somebody updated Bruschi's wikipedia entry saying he collapsed and died a Mass general today, and that was removed rather quickly.

I smell a concerted effort by someone to have fun spreading a rumor.
