All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Reports are Bruschi suffered "stroke-like" symptoms. He had headaches and had vision problem in one of his eye's. One of the local TV stations is reporting he had partial paralysis. He was taken by ambulance to Mass General.
Reports are he is now doing better and his vision is returning in his eye. Hopefully, he will be fine. Football aside, Tedy has 3 young kids.
From those symptoms, I'd say he had a "classic" migraine, not the kind they call "cluster migraines". I get classic migraines too, severe head pain, blindness, jumbled thoughts, numbness..they thought I had a stroke when I was first diagnosed, too. My whole left side was paralised, and I couldn't remember my address. He'll be fine, and they'll prolly send him home with one of the meds they gave me. Right now, the only med that helps mine is Imitrex.
I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
Here's hoping that it's nothing more than a migraine (just be cause they are generally not life threatening, not because they are a picnic under any circumstances). My thoughts and prayers are with Tedy and his family.

First off I HATE THE FUGGIN PATS. That said I HATED Bruschi. That was until I saw how he was with his kids on the field before the superbowl. That was awsome. I sincerely hope two things...1) he gets fully recovered. 2) IF this is slight stroke like symptoms he needs to retire. He has money, a pension and 3 rings. I dont' want to see a warrior like him suffer long term effects esp when he can prevent it.
Yeah I wasn't much of a Bruschi fan either until I saw the human side of him interacting with his children. Its easy sometimes to forget that these guys are in many ways just like each of us. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. I hope he makes a full recovery...but then decides that there are things in life more important than football and retires leaving New England with a giant gaping hole to fill in their defense.

My thoughts and prayers are also with Tedy and his family. Something like this always puts things in perspective, making football seem fairly insignificant. Let's hope it's "only" a severe migraine.
BTW, mybills, the symptoms you describe are pretty much the way I feel after every Bills' loss.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I don't think stroke victims get the headache part. I'm almost positive it was a classic migraine. To answer Phil & BJH...I didn't hit him, I'm leaving that up to one of the Bills!

Football is a game. While I hate the Patriots I have the upmost respect for them and most of their players. I would never wish harm on anyone. Glad to hear he is walking around and it may not be too serious. Let's hope he is on the field when the Bills beat the Pats next year
