Bruschi on stroke, football and a change of perspective


(NECN) - Tedy Bruschi says that once upon a time, his life as a football player was all about winning championships. That all changed on the day he was rushed to the hospital with a life-threatening stroke.

Today, Bruschi says he plays football with a second purpose - to use that opportunity as a platform to raise awareness about stroke.

In this portion of his one-on-one interview with NECN's Mike Giardi, Bruschi discusses his change of perspective, and looks ahead to the New England Patriots 2008 season, as they recover from a disappointing Super Bowl defeat.

And he admits, the loss this year to the Giants isn't the only one that still bugs him to this day. For more on Tedy and Heidi Bruschi's fundraiser, 'A Night of Inspiration' to raise money for stroke awareness, click here.
