BROOKLINE, Mass. - Tedy Bruschi flashed his three Super Bowl rings, an honor achieved by few NFL players.That doesn't help him accept that his health may keep him from trying for a fourth.Bruschi suffered a mild stroke last February, 10 days after New England beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 for its third NFL championship in four years. He has attended team meetings and worked out in the Patriots' weight room but didn't practice during the three-day minicamp that ended Saturday.On May 21, he said that one of his options was sitting out the 2005 season and returning in 2006. He shed no more light on that Sunday, as he stood in the huge backyard of team owner Robert Kraft's home after a private dinner and ceremony during which players received their Super Bowl rings."It's been a tough year so far," Bruschi said three days after his 32nd birthday. "It's been a roller coaster (with) my son being born, winning the Super Bowl, going through what I've gone through, having this stroke and so its been an emotional roller coaster."
