Tebucky Jones brings back memories of the old-school Patriots. He was more than just a fun name to say; he was an electrifying, game-changing defensive player, before there was Asante Samuel, before there was Ellis Hobbs.
But his career was derailed by a 2006 preseason knee injury -- and now, according to the Boston Herald, Jones is blaming Patriots physician Thomas J. Gill for misdiagnosing him and ruining his career.
He claims that Gill and fellow physician Bertram Zarins did not inform him about a severe tear to his knee during a preseason matchup against the Redskins.
The Herald reports that Jones, 34, filed a suit in Suffolk Superior Court on Wednesday, claiming that the misdiagnosis led to his release by the Patriots and, therefore, a loss of income. More
If this is true than I understand his problem he has with the organization. However, this "misdiagnose" happened way before he retired from football. If he thought of it he should have taken care of it back then, not now. I'm sure this is the last time we are going to hear of this regardless.
