rodney harrison
it feels like just yesterday i could see
the picture in my head
of you i think you broke you broke your
arm in that game
two bowl against the panthers with the
confetti
falling down tears in your eyes
okay when you when you bro bro that was
almost 20 years ago
that was almost 20 minutes rodney
it's almost 20 years ago that was that
was 2000
it was a 2003 season two january
february 2004
where in 2021 and your old quarterback i
mean how do you process the fact
that dude is back in the super bowl
again how do you process this roddy we
struggling to do it
mike let me tell you man i hit one of my
homeboys and i said
i said um i think it was richard seymour
i was like
this is the most incredible thing i've
ever seen in all of sports
like i grew up in chicago i saw the six
championships with michael jordan see
what lebron is doing
but for tom brady to go to a new team
not have training camp not have mini
camp
basically limited in practice
babysitting antonio brown
doing all the things as a husband as a
father
as a provider i mean it's just
incredible it's like the most amazing
thing i've ever seen
i mean for a guy to be 43 years old and
have that level of mental toughness
it's just it's just incredible and i let
me just say this guys and i don't want
you guys asking me this because this
really upsets me
it stop don't make any comparisons about
bill and
tom and tom if it's man time is not time
without bill and bill is not bill
without tom
period so i just wanted that was for you
michael holly that was for you
that was preemptive no no no hey
raw mike yeah exactly oh my god take
that take that michael holly
take that smoke michael holly yes i'm
just trying to tell michael molly
earlier
exactly right right right right right
right i'm trying to tell mike why would
you reduce this conversation
to some kind of percentage credit and
who does
exactly right goodness get him right you
can tell
him hey hey rodney you know i have your
father hold on you know how you're
kicking you know when your kids are
lying
i have a question for you guys who did
you pick out of the game who did you
pick for the game
did you pick rogers or did you pick
brady i picked the packers he picked the
bucks
yeah i picked the bucks well what made
you pick the bucks
i'm i'm uh because as you can tell from
the histrionics here of michael smith
uh he's lying and he's he is
he is that great that belichick brady
kind of guy
i'm on the brady bandwagon i i just i'm
just amazed by tom brady
and in all seriousness man i i'm i just
love and and am inspired
by what he's doing at this stage of his
career
i'm inspired by what he's done away from
new england not like oh look what
happened
well but let me let me let me clean this
up though michael because i because i i
i was joking i was that was
tongue-in-cheek i was the one earlier
rodney
that was saying that cause that question
has been
for 20 years been asking that people may
ask that question it's been fun and the
answer is yes
they needed each other but what i'm
saying rodney educate me on this
i'm saying i think brady deserves even
more credit than we were giving him for
what happened in new england you tell me
enlighten us because it the quarterback
position
by its nature from the outside looking
in
covers up for so many other potential
flaws he made the offensive line better
he made the receivers better not to say
he didn't have good ones around him
but when you take him and put him into a
new situation with a good support and
cast
look what happens the the the constant
is brady so tell me where i'm wrong on
that
i just say i i don't know what you're
asking me first and foremost
i i just think that when you look when
you look at when you look at bill
belichick
and his decision not only to draft tom
brady
but to play tom brady when drew bledsoe
was a 100 million dollar quarterback if
my memory serves me correct correct
he was he was 100 million dollar
quarterback and bill belichick saw
something in tom brady
that gave him an opportunity and once
tom got that opportunity and he saw the
level of preparation and all the secrets
and all the innuendos
that bill belichick brings tom brady
implemented that
in his tb-12 the way he takes care of
his body the way he takes care of his
mind how much sleep no alcohol
hydration all those different things and
it works you tell me
you tell me uh uh a nfl player or an
athlete that has
more discipline and more mental
toughness than tom brady
you just can't find it tom let me tell
you something we all
hold on and this is my final point we
all deserve
we all deserve more credit because when
you play for the patriots you don't get
the credit you deserve
if you're an all-pro oh you made all pro
okay no big deal nobody celebrates it
okay so it's not just about tom
everybody on that team
made everyone better so yeah tom gets
the attention and deservedly show
so he was an unselfish guy he was a
terrific leader he was one of the most
humble guys in the locker room
yes as you can see that that of that
that effect
it worked well with the um the bucks but
yeah over the 20 years
it hasn't just been tom and bill and
that's something i just like to say as
much as
tom is as good as he is it's great he's
the goat but it's not just you two
and real quick michael to just to
clarify you said what was i asking you
it was just that
in essence what i was doing was give it
if we could reduce it to those two
just for purposes of the conversation
reduce it to those two i was giving more
credit to the player
because i know i'm speaking your
language while yes you require good
coaching the coach is always
so good as his players and we saw this
year it was a lot of guys out
but bill did not have a quarterback to
cover up for any of you brother let me
just change these but let me tell you
this let me tell you this
i i knew football when i came to the
patriots and i was a heck of a football
player
but when i came to the patriots as i
even as i got older
my game went to the next level because
bill belichick
he showed us how to study what to study
what to anticipate he would put us in
positions to be successful
and guess who was a beneficiary of that
it was tom brady
it wasn't just tom dropping back
throwing for 400 yards
no it was the defense sometimes it was
the special teams it was time it was the
offense four-minute offense it was all
those various things
so it's not just tom brady as great and
i love
tom richard seymour willie mcginnis
kevin faulconer richard seymour
man please exactly well yeah he deserves
it too
that's all i'm saying holly no i love it
no you know
hey rodney i want to ask you this
because i've heard it from too many
people
and i know it happened uh because i've
just heard it from from several sources
and how when you got to the team there
are a couple people who could really get
under tom brady's skin in practice
when i'm with rabel one of was rodney
harrison rodney harrison would intercept
his passes and taunt him
and really push him and it brought out
the best in him though
what did you see from brady because he
i'm sure you annoyed him but you pushed
him
what did you see then from brady that is
that is showing up right now what is
what is it about his mind what is it
about his practice his preparation
that takes him to the top tom is a thug
y'all don't realize that y'all look at
the pretty boy smile and the shine and
the glow on his face he looks tremendous
tom is a straight-up thug and he told me
at the beginning of this year
hey do you believe do you believe cause
hey i'm gonna kick some butt
and not th the b word it wasn't the b
word he said
man thomas yeah you were with us against
him
yes and of course i said i'm with you
but tom is a thug man tom wants to beat
the living crap out of you i don't care
about how nice he
appears after the game shaking aaron
rodgers hands
looking at drew brees in the eyes he
wanted to destroy drew he wanted to
destroy aaron he wants to destroy
um mahomes he wants to destroy everybody
that he plays against and don't fall for
that because when i came in there
i knew that and i went right at tom
every single time i got i don't care if
he got frustrated with me jamming the
receivers
hitting a guy late roughing them up i
didn't care i wanted to get under tom
brady's skin
that that may be the best i mean tom
brady quote i've ever heard
what i was going to say i i don't have
it all in front of me right now
but i'm a venture to say that might be
the first time tom brady's ever been
called a thug that's the best one i'm
i'm saying it right now
that's quote ever the first time he
called a thug his mentality
tom is a thug he wants to destroy you he
just don't want to beat you he want to
destroy you trust me i played with the
guy
for six six years and i've watched his
every game that he's played the last 12
years
okay tom
it should ignite basically you just yeah
rest in peace gotcha is it too early is
it too early for you
to say what's gonna happen in that game
of tampa
or or are you gonna go you go science do
you go anecdote do you go
like how do you make your decision on
who are you
this is what i do i rest you know and
that's what the players are going to do
they're going to rest
they're going to receive a lot of
information from their coaches as far as
the covid and
you know the super bowl schedule you
take a deep breath
you try to get all the tickets and
everything out the way who's ever coming
to the game and then you focus on
football
and you let you let people know hey talk
to my wife talk to such and such my
business manager if you want tickets
leave me alone for the next two week i'm
focused on a big game
all right we'll take your time we'll get
you back before the game and get you
picked in
that's that's a good team y'all asking
me for the pick i didn't know you was
asking me for the pic
i thought you was asking me kind of the
mindset so
no okay what would you know say but you
are you on your pick
on your face i'm going with brady what
are you talking about i'm going with
brady
