TED'S HEAD: Remind me to hang myself if my son decides he wants to play football. A few weeks ago we were handed Tedy Bruschi as an archetype of male virility. Now he's having health troubles. Any chance it's related to the fact that he crashes his head into other giant men day in and day out?

All sympathy to Tedy and his family, and best wishes for a total recovery.

BTW, the fact that I'm a big boxing fan reveals what a huge dummy -- hypocrite? -- I am.
