Bruschi's link with draft prospect

Newsday's Bob Glauber writes on UTEP offensive lineman Robby Felix, and explains why Felix is linked with Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi before he's even played a snap in the NFL.

"There was a point where I thought I was finished playing, and I'm sure Robby has had those thoughts," Bruschi tells Glauber. "You think, 'This is impossible.' The questions he asked me were the questions I had hoped I could ask someone else. I wish I could have talked to someone that had put a helmet on their brain and could go out and play football, but there was no one. I called my doctor and asked who I could talk to about a similar experience, but he said, 'Tedy, you'd be the first.' With that came a different sort of burden."

On a lighter note, Glauber seems to enjoy creating a link between people. He thinks I bear a striking resemblance to Elaine's boyfriend on "Seinfeld", which made me laugh.

Mike, my brother said you looked like Elaine's boyfriend months ago, the one who she mistakens for being of african-american descent. Probably the funniest thing for me to wake up and see you wrote about that.

That's great Mike. I tend to take myself a bit too seriously at times, so it's good to be able to have a laugh from time to time. More laughs the better these days.

Mike - first thought when I saw you was you looked like the guy from the episode where she didn't know if he was black or white. There's a strong resemblance! That's hilarious others think so as well - I always thought I needed to get a life and not watch so much TV.

You so look like the guy on Seinfeld. Very Funny! I can't wait for the draft.

Mike, ever since I saw that episode I've been thinking that you look like Elaine's boyfriend. The resemblance is Uncanny. Can you talk about why you don't see Sean Smith (CB-Utah) as a fit for the Pats?
