Teddy Bruschi

Talk about some crazy rumors. The Web world was abuzz Tuesday night with news that Tedy Bruschi of the New England Patriots was dead, that he had committed suicide. The good news: Teddy Bruschi is alive and kicking. Well, maybe not kicking since he is a linebacker.

Tedy's agent, Brad Blank, confirms that Tedy is still, very much, ALIVE.

Tom Curran of NBC News also confirmed the rumors to be false.

How did it (the rumo) get this far? Well, the answer won't really drape the journalism industry in glory.

Apparently, an anonymous e-mail to the Fox affiliate in Boston came in Monday afternoon saying that Bruschi had gone to Jesus.
