STEP UP --
>> END OF AN ERA.
WELCOME BACK TO "THE BIG
SATURDAY SHOW."
THE G.O.A.T. MAY BE GONE.
THERE ARE REPORTS THAT TOM BRADY
IS RETIRING, BUT BRADY’S AGENT
AND ESPN -- TOLD AN ESPN TO
REPORTER, I UNDERSTAND THE
ADVANCE SPECK IFLATION ABOUT
TOM’S FUTURE.
WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE ACT
ACCURACY OP OR INACCURACY, TOM
WILL BE THE ONLY PERSON TO
EXPRESS HIS PLANS.
HE NOSE THE REALITY -- HE KNOWS
THE REALITY OF THE FOOTBALL
BUSINESS AND THE PLANNING
CALENDAR AS WELL AS ANYBODY, SO
THAT SHOULD BE SOON.
A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE
BUCCANEERS’ QUARTERBACK HAD THIS
TO SAY.
>> I THINK MY WIFE HAS HELD DOWN
THE HOUSE FOR A LONG TIME NOW,
AND THERE’S THINGS THAT SHE
WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH.
YOU KNOW, SHE’S -- HASN’T WORKED
AS MUCH IN THE LAST 10, 12 YEARS
JUST RAISING OUR FAMILY AND KIND
OF COMMITTING TO BE IN A LIFE IN
BOSTON AND MOVING TO FLORIDA.
IT’S, YOU KNOW, IT’S A VERY
DIFFICULT ISSUE TO RECONCILE
WITHOUT JUST SAYING, HEY, IT’S
TIME TO RETIRE.
AND I THINK THERE’S, YOU KNOW,
WE’RE COMING TO THE END HERE
TOO.
SO I DON’T WANT TO MISS ANY OF
THE KIDS’ TOUGH.
STUFF.
>> CHARLIE, OBVIOUSLY, I’M
HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME
WITH THIS.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU KNOW, AS A KID WHO WAS A
LIFELONG PATRIOTS’ FAN AND OUR
BIGGEST CLAIM TO FAME WAS BEING
WALLOPED BY THE CHICAGO BEARS
WHERE THEY EVEN GOT A MUSIC
VIDEO --
[LAUGHTER]
YOU KNOW, TOM BRADY CHANGED THE
CULTUREMENT WE WENT FROM THE
TEAM EVERYBODY WANTS TO PLAY TO
THE TEAM THAT NOBODY WANTS TO
PLAY.
CHARLIE, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO
YOU?
OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN TELL I’M AN
EMOTIONAL WRECK, BUT I WOULDAGE
IT WOULD BE TOUGH ON YOU AS
WELL.
>> ACTUALLY, IT’S NOT, IT’S
PROBABLY NOT AS TOUGH ON ME --
>> WE CAN JUST GO TO CARLEY.
[LAUGHTER]
>> BUT, BUT, BUT, THAT SAID,
I’VE GOT TO SAY, I DON’T EVEN
LIKE FOOTBALL, AND I
ESPECIALLY --
>> ALL RIGHT, THIS IS BLASPHEMY.
I’M SORRY -- CUT HIS FEED.
>> HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
BUT TUNING IN EVERY WEEK TO TOM
BRADY HAS BECOME SOMETHING OVER
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, I MEAN, I
CAN’T STOP.
THE GUY’S ALMOST --
>> ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
KEEP GOING.
>> AND THE IDEA THAT, WHAT, LAST
WEEK IT WAS THREE MINUTES TO GO
WITH TWO TOUCHDOWNS -- IT’S
AMAZING I KNOW ALL THIS -- TWO
TOUCHDOWNS DOWN, AND SURE ENOUGH
TOM BRADY WINDS UP TYING THE
GAME.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
AND, OBVIOUSLY, WE DON’T KNOW
WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO, BUT WHAT
I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS,
WHATEVER HE DECIDES TO DO, IT’S
GOING TO BE WHATEVER HIS WIFE
TELLS HIM TO DO.
AND I JUST LOVE IT THAT YOU CAN
BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, AND
YOU STILL HAVE TO DO WHATEVER
YOUR WIFE TELLS YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
>> OKAY, CHARLIE, I’M KIND OF ON
THE FENCE IF.
I’M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS
POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE --
[LAUGHTER]
>> I LIKE IT.
>> CARLEY, YOU KNOW, BESIDES TOM
BRADY’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BESIDES
TOUCHING ALL OF OUR HEARTS AND
MINDS IF, I’VE HEARD THAT HE’S
BEEN REFERRED TO AS AS A SAINT.
MAYBE IF YOU COULD SHARE ONE OF
YOUR FAVORITE TOM BRADY MOMENTS.
>> WELL, I’VE BEEN LISTENING TO
TOM BRADY PROPAGANDA EVER SINCE
I MET MY HUSBAND --
>> I’M SORRY, WHAT?
>> HE’S A HUGE MICHIGAN FAN SO,
I MEAN, TOM BRADY IS ALL THAT IS
IN OUR HOUSEHOLD.
AND I LIKE TOM BRADY TOO.
AND I THINK THE MOST IMPRESSIVE
THING ABOUT HIM IS HIS WORK
ETHIC.
I WATCHED THE TOM V. TOM
DOCUMENTARY ON -- IT WAS A
FACEBOOK DOCK YOU SERIES ON HIM.
HE’D ALWAYS BEEN IN THE NFL FOR,
LIKE, 20 YEARS AT THE TIME, AND
HE WAS STILL TRYING TO PERFECT
HIS THROWING MOTION, JUST
PRACTICE AFTER PRACTICE DURING
THE OFF SEASON.
HE WOULD WATCH HOURS AND HOURS
OF GAME FOOTAGE, AND HE EVEN
SAID THAT SOMETIMES HE LOSES
TRACK ARE OF TIME, LIKE SIX
HOURS IN HE’S STILL WATCHING
GAME FOOTAGE.
AND ALSO THE WAY HE TAKES CARE
OF HIS BODY IS INSANE WITH HIS
DIET.
HE DOESN’T EAT ANY OF THE THINGS
THAT BRING LIFE JOY.
DAIRY, COFFEE, SUGAR, GLUTEN,
ALCOHOL.
HE DOESN’T EAT NIGHT SHADE
VEGETABLES, TOMATOES, POTATOES,
MUSHROOMS.
SO HOPEFULLY IF HE DOES RETIRE,
HE’S A GREAT DAD, MAYBE THEY CAN
HAVE A PIZZA PARTY, EAT ALL THE
NAUGHTY THINGS THAT HE NORMALLY
DOESN’T EAT WHEN HE’S PLAYING.
>> YEAH, IT’S JUST GETTING WORSE
BECAUSE YOU’RE SO RIGHT.
HE MADE AVENUE AVOCADO TOAST A
THING WITHOUT THE TOAST.
[LAUGHTER]
EMILY, IF IF I COULD JUST SHARE
WITH YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE
ST. BRADY, JUST, YOU KNOW, SAY A
FEW THINGS LIKE I’D LIKE TO
COUNT THE WAYS --
[LAUGHTER]
ONE-ONE THOUSAND, TWO-ONE
THOUSAND --
>> NO NEED TO KEEP COUNTING.
A REPORTER CAUGHT UP WITH
BRADY’S DAD WHO HAS APPARENTLY
CALLED THIS AN UNSUBSTANTIATED
RUMOR.
IT SEEMS LIKE, FIRST OF ALL,
PART OF IT CAME OUT OF BRADY
SAYING ON A PODCAST THAT HE WAS,
QUOTE, SATISFIED WITH HIS
CAREER.
THIS IS A GUY WHO’S NEVER
SATISFIED, TO CARLEY’S POINT,
AND WE KNOW THAT GISELLE MIGHT
BE SORT OF THE YOKO EAU NO,
RIGHT -- TO NO, RIGHT?
SHE’S SPOKEN OPENLY THAT SHE
DOESN’T LIKE SEEING HIM GET
THROWN AROUND ON THE FIELD.
AND NOTE AS WELL, THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT STATISTIC, HE STILL
HAS ALMOST $25 MILLION LEFT ON
HIS CONTRACT.
THAT’S PROBABLY A DROP IN THE
BUCKET FOR HOW MUCH THE TWO OF
THEM MAKE COMBINED, BUT IT MIGHT
ENABLE HIM TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF
INCENTIVE --
[LAUGHTER]
>> EMILY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.
I WAS JUST PLAYING, I KNEW HE
