• Drew Bledsoe, who lost his starting job to Tony Romo last October and elected not to return for a 15th season, isn't having many second thoughts about retirement. Mindful that an inevitable quarterback injury might lead to an offer to return from some desperate NFL team, Bledsoe says he has no intention of changing his current existence: chilling at homesteads in Montana and eastern Oregon with wife Maura and their four children. "There has not been a day since I hung up my cleats where I woke up and said, 'What am I going to do today?'" Bledsoe says. "It's been 'go time,' all the time." As a means of underscoring his happiness, Bledsoe has been using the wonders of 21st century technology to document his post-football existence for various ex-teammates from his Patriots, Bills and Cowboys days. "I've been sending the guys cell-phone photos, beginning with the first day of training camp," he says. "The first was of my feet in a lake with a beer in my hand. There was a picture from a golf course, one from the boat when I was waterskiing and one when I was riding my motorcycle."

Glad to hear Bledsoe is enjoying his retirement. For many years while with the Pats, he was one of the top QBs. Wish him well but glad Romo is now our QB.

Classic. I used to call into work on my off days and ask for someone specific with each call. I'd here them say hello then I'd crack open a brewski right next to the phone, take a swig and say AHHHHHHHHHH.........Man did they HATE that. :D

He SHOULD be enjoying his retirement... last I saw he was getting blasted by defenders 10-15 times per game.

I really like bledsoe. I still feel like had flozell stayed healthy in 05 we had a real shot.

the more I go back and watch 05 and 06 I think the team really had an opportunity in 05. I cant imagine how frustrated the team and the coaches were after that.

anyway I like bledsoe, i liked him when he came into the league and he was always classy.

Maybe if refusing to assist your replacement in any way the first time you're benched, whining your way out of a second city when you've been benched again then pouting like a three year old when you've been benched in a third city is classy, then yes, he's always been classy.

If only it would have been a couple of years earlier.

i think you should change your avatar to Bledsoe. You seem to really like him.

Thank Sean Payton for Bledsoe's performance. BP was never very imiginative with an offensive playbook or for that matter a defensive one. I guess that is just a testament to his ability to get a team to win his way. Anyways, Sean Payton was the reason Bledsoe and the recievers put up those numbers. Look at how Bledsoe played last season. It wasn't just that Bledsoe couldn't just play anymore. If Payton stayed here, Bledsoe would have put up decent numbers but get sacked a billion times.

Bledsoe gave us his all for a season and a half. And yes, I thought we had a decent chance in 05 before the OL fell apart.

Unfortunately, his downfall was that he kept making rookie mistakes.
