Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi said he needs time to reflect before making a decision on his football future. "Right now, I've been so much into the season," he said. "In my past few years, I just go year to year. I'm really emotional right now, so to say anything would be wrong. I need to sit back and I just want to reflect on this season." The 33-year-old Bruschi, who just concluded his 11th season, was asked if he thinks about seeing the finish line of his career. "You can't play forever," he said. "That's what all of us do at the end of every year -- you take inventory and see how you're feeling. Right now, my plan is to reflect on this year."
