>>> THE REALITY IS I DON'T
THINK MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT I'D
BE PLAYING LIKE THIS.
EVEN THOUGH I HAD A GREAT
BELIEF I WOULD.
>> Martha: TOM BRADY WILL
PLAY IN HIS NINTH -- NINTH --
SUPER BOWL ON SUNDAY.
BEFORE HE WAS KNOWN AS "THE
GOAT," THE GREATEST OF ALL
TIME, HE WAS A COLLEGE SUMMER
INTERN AT MERRILL LYNCH IN
MICHIGAN.
MY NEXT GUEST OLLIE VER OWENS
WAS HIS -- OLIVER OWENS WAS
HIS BEST.
AT THE END OF INTERNSHIP HE
SAID TO THE FAMOUS QUARTERBACK
"YOU'RE A DIME A DOZEN."
YOU ARE A CLIPBOARD HOLDER.
ENCOURAGING HIM TO START A
CAREER IN FINANCE.
HERE NOW OLIVER OWENS.
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH.
WELCOME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Martha: YOU SAID THAT
QUOTE FROM YOU IS NOT THE WAY
IT SOUNDED WHEN IT CAME OUT OF
YOUR MOUTH.
EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DID SAY.
>> IT'S REALLY NOT.
HE WAS A QUICK-TAKE GUY.
A SMART GUY.
EVERYBODY LIKED HIM.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE GREAT IN
FINANCE.
I COULD SEE HIM IN A BOARD
ROOM.
I COULD SEE HIM READING A
CHART LIKE HE DOES ON A
FOOTBALL FIELD.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIS
GREATNESS.
FOOTBALL WAS LESS SO.
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT HE WAS LIKE
A DIME A DOZEN, JUST KIND OF
SO-SO AND WOULDN'T AMOUNT TO
MUCH.
HE WAS SMART, GREAT TALENT.
SO IT COMES OFF A LITTLE BIT
ROUGH.
>> Martha: I THOUGHT IT WAS
FUNNY.
YOU WERE ASKED ABOUT IT IN AN
ARTICLE I READ, YOU SAID YEAH,
SO HE CHOSE ANOTHER OUT.
HE WENT ANOTHER WAY AS IT
TURNS OUT.
>> GO FIGURE.
>> Martha: WHAT WAS HE LIKE
AS AN INTERN?
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT HIM
THAT SUMMER?
>> I HAVE HAD OVER 20 INTERNS.
OF ALL I HAD HE WAS PROBABLY
THE MOST WELL LIKE AND THE
MOST ACCEPTED BY THE OFFICE.
HE WAS LIKE ONE OF OURS.
KIND TO EVERYONE.
HE WORKED HARD.
YOU KNOW, HE NEVER COMPLAINED.
HE WAS ALWAYS ON TIME.
NEVER LEFT EARLY.
HAD A GREAT ATTITUDE.
>> Martha: YOU SAID YOU LOST
YOUR MOTHER THAT SUMMER AND
YOU REMEMBER HIS RESPONSE TO
THAT.
>> SHE DIED OCTOBER 19, 1998.
THAT WAS THE FIRST SUMMER, THE
FIRST HE INTERNED FOR ME.
YOU KNOW, ABOUT A WEEK AFTER
SHE DIED, I'M SITTING THERE.
SOMEBODY IN THE OFFICE DROPS A
CARD OFF TO ME AND SAYS HEY,
TOM WAS JUST IN.
HE WANTED YOU TO HAVE THIS.
IT WAS A SYMPATHY CARD FOR MY
MOTHER.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT HER DYING.
I KNOW HOW I'D FEEL.
IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO,
YOU KNOW, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I THOUGHT WHAT 21-YEAR-OLD
KID, YOU KNOW, TAKES TIME TO
DO THAT.
I WAS IMPRESSED.
STILL TOUCHED BY IT.
>> Martha: YOU SAID HE ALSO
ATE LUNCH WITH EVERYBODY IN
THE CAFETERIA DOWNSTAIRS,
WHICH, OF COURSE HE WOULD DO.
HE WASN'T TOM BRADY BACK THEN.
HE WAS JUST ONE OF THE KIDS IN
THE SUMMER PROGRAM, RIGHT?
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
WE'D GO DOWN EVERY LUNCHTIME.
WE WOULD, YOU KNOW, STOOP
DOWN, FACE DOWN OVER
CHEESEBURGER AND FRIES WITH A
TWINKIE PACK.
>> HE DOESN'T EAT THAT STUFF
ANYMORE.
>> RIGHT!
HE'D BE SITTING THERE AND
EATING HIS LITTLE CHICKEN
PUTA.
SQUEEZING LEMON ON IT.
>> Martha: HE WAS.
>> PEPPER.
>> Martha: ALL RIGHT.
I QUESTIONS HE HAS BEEN EATING
THAT SINCE BACK THEN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN -- I'M
A PATRIOTS FAN.
I GET HEAT FOR IT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HATE TOM
BRADY.
I'M HEARING AT THE SUPER BOWL
ALL WEEK IT'S BEEN CRAZY.
WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE WHEN YOU
HEAR THAT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TELL THE
FOLKS?
>> HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST
THOUGHTFUL KIDS I HAVE BEEN
AROUND.
HE HONESTLY CARES ABOUT
PEOPLE.
IF YOU EVER KNEW HIM OR TOOK
THE TIME OR HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO KNOW HIM, YOU WOULD THINK
HE IS FANTASTIC.
LOVE TO HAVE HIM AS A FRIEND.
>> Martha: THAT IS WHY
EVERYBODY HATES HIM TOO.
GOOD TO BE TRUE.
GOOD THAT FOOTBALL WORKED OUT.
WATCH THIS CLIP.
HE IS NOT MUCH ON AN ACTOR.
WATCH THIS.
>> OKAY.
>> AFTER FOOTBALL I'M GOING TO
PLAY BASEBALL.
AFTER BASEBALL, I'M GOING TO
PLAY "HAMLET."
ALAS, I KNEW HIM, HORACIO.
>> THAT IS PRETTY BAD.
>> THAT IS GREAT!
>> Martha: THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
