New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi -- who once played for the University of Arizona - is back in the hospital tonight, according to sources in Tucson and Boston.

The team isn't confirming this news yet, but KOLD News 13 has learned Bruschi is undergoing surgery to repair a hole in his heart. That's what may have caused the mild stroke he suffered last month.

The 31-year-old Bruschi was rushed to the hospital complaining of partial paralysis just two weeks after winning his 3rd Super Bowl ring.



Best wishes to him. I wonder what this portends for his career, hopefully he'll be OK.

1. I hope he's OK-he's too young to have all this stuff happen!

2. Hang in there, Tedy

We're lighting a candle for you, bro.

3. He needs to walk away from the game

He's got more Super Bowl rings than most players will ever dream of getting and he's got a wife and three beautiful kids. He's only 31 and has his whole life ahead of him -- assuming he does the right thing and retires. Why take any chances?

Walk away, Tedy.

5. I'd have to agree

but athlete's at that level (lower levels too) often find it very hard to give up on that dream though he seems to have achieved about as much as he could.

Best of luck to him.
