welcome back congratulations yeah a couple times in two months oh man yeah you're just
here in October I think or something this is just a wonderful thing for you isn't it what is that
two-week period like before the Super Bowl is that just annoying or is that just something you got to
get through or do you enjoy that you got to get through it yeah yeah you're just caught up in in
a week to week stuff for so long and then finally to win that AFC championship and then two weeks to
listen to Freddie Mitchell talk very long what was he what was he doing what what prompted that why
would a guy behave that way is he is he a dumb man or what I don't know a calling out Rodney
Harrison I think Rodney had more catches yesterday than Freddie Mitchell did Freddie had one I think
now when you uh are playing a Super Bowl and and it's difficult to isolate because you've done it
now you've won three of these do you just start from scratch going into it for a game plan yeah
I mean how do you prepare you try to take the best stuff you got and you try to uh match it
up with their weaknesses not that that thing not that that team had a whole bunch of weaknesses
right we definitely got started off pretty slow now did that surprise you was uh that concern for
the people in the team I think we were all going through the first quarter not not really making
too many first downs got got tough but yeah it was a anytime you play you know the best teams
in the league that's what happens sometimes any Panic at all toward the end of the first half
not after we scored we when it was seven seven with the halftime we said you know let's go and
play our game let's go and play the way we're capable and there's always some pressure there
because you're thinking if we don't score here now if we don't even get a field goal we could go in
at halftime being down a touchdown did that this is nothing you think about or do you think you
have to have fumble where I you know I had that ball out there for too long and yeah it hit them
you know and I had the ball under the pile but me with the ball under the pile I'm not coming
out with that thing too often but does the thought go through your mind oh this could be the darkest
day of my life this no this could this could cost us the Super Bowl is that ever enter your mind oh
yeah that whole you know you talk about two weeks leading up to it yeah you realize that that game
you remember for the rest of your life whether you win or lose that's right and you know I've heard
people that have lost Super Bowl say that's the toughest defeat they've ever had so yeah
hopefully we don't have to experience much of that no we tried we haven't yet we tried to talk about
this before the Bill Belichick he's some sort of mad genius right yeah he's some sort of crazy guy
but but he he always knows how to at least beat every other team by a field goal at least
a field goal we got that three-point thing down I know that am I right about that as
Adam vinatary responsible for the game-winning field goal in each three a victory yeah that's
remarkable isn't it yeah he's he's uh he's the best he's the best determinist but what does
Belichick do what what about the guy is is he just smarter or is everybody else not as smart
he he takes it to a whole new level yeah he's I think the great thing about him is he understands
the game from from all right three sides of the ball which is offensively defensively his best
teams and and all three of those phases have to complement each other and I think that was really
the strength of our team this year was sometimes an offense in place so well the defense really
stepped it up and vice versa and the special teams was always very consistent so that's what it takes
that's what it takes when you play these tough teams especially late in the year and and uh
you know we really came through we needed to what did he say to you just before you you come out of
the tunnel what what are were his final words to you before you take the field what did he say I
think he said go play like Champions yeah go play like Champions and and that don't screw this up
let me ask you another question about Bill Belichick and I've been studying this for a long
time especially this season and on the sidelines the guy is dressed like a sherpa what is the deal
with the thing is it some sort of sex I mean what is that he's got on there you know the game it's
like something he might have made himself yeah we've got a hood on it and a rope around it yeah
I mean what is that in game days when he usually pulls out his best stuff you see what he looks
like on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday he walks in and everybody looks and goes what is he wearing
you know I don't think he's ever thrown out a sweater use some of this money to him upgrade
his wardrobe what is this uh what is this going to be like now when you when you guys go back to
uh Boston up there it's just going to be crazy it probably gets crazier every year doesn't it
he says when the Red Sox won it I swear they were going to burn the city yeah but what a tremendous
year it's been for the Boston area fans that's 18 months two Super Bowl championships in the
World Series now is it true that you're both your offensive coordinator and your defensive
coordinator are taking other jobs now one's going to Cleveland one's going to South Bend
yeah they're both uh and they deserve it they're they're two of the best and they've proven that
for the last three or four years right and it's great that they're getting an opportunity and
what does this do to you as a quarterback do you think whoops or are you okay with this
well it depends who they picked to call the place yeah I uh it's it's going to be it tough you we've
developed this camaraderie with myself and and Charlie Weiss and it's been a great relationship
and it's going to be tough to see him go he's he's so prepared to be the head coach now hopefully you
know we bring someone in we keep the chemistry and is that what will happen you will bring somebody
in or you work somebody up from the inside like work a ball boy up to that position or something
somebody might be capable hey you're at the Corey Dillon enough I could do I could call the plays
in yeah uh and what about the celebration uh last night uh not as much as the first
Super Bowl about the same as the second or just completely berserk no it was it was uh
berserk yeah we hadn't we had a great party at our hotel and uh you should have seen about 4 a.m like
like 50 players who had played you know four hours of football trying to dance to Snoop Dogg
y pretty good yeah and of course during the the two or three days before the game and during the
game I'm sure you had thoughts of your grandmother and uh what was it was it a struggle emotionally
for you yeah it was a tough week it was a tough weekend for different reasons for for the way I
felt and also for my for my parents it was a tough week for my parents so getting them out
to the game and having them there and hopefully trying to take their mind off football at least
we had another fan up there rooting for us yeah yeah absolutely well good for you Tom very happy
for you congratulations thank you take it easy on the Colts next year all right well don't
count on it Tom Brady ladies and gentlemen we'll be right back jumping off the deal
