and well there's a photo of the back and forth. Tom is looking
a little heavier day. I know he's 45 and I'm 20's. Look
a little Haggard to yeah but it's a kids game and it really is
you talked yesterday about when you're 30 and a locker room and
there's all these young guys and
it's got to be exponentially worse.
When you're 45, I can't even you're in a locker room with
guys, literally half your age and younger, so to ataka by
low, after the joint, practice yesterday, shared his version.
And his thoughts and observations on his
conversation with Tom Brady. Here he is.
Yeah I was able to talk to Tom
I mean we were talking on the side for for a good bit. You
just asking how the offseason was
we were talking a little about golf at the same time
but for the most part
23 years playing I mean that's a long time, that's a lot of
knowledge. So I was asking him some things. I think they were
doing that in 2019, but then I came in 2012.
Any?
So, I mean they picked me so I mean sorry.
So 2020,
it's 20 22 25. I mean, I'm still here. So
Again somebody's lying to him or he's being deliberately
ignorant about when they tried to get him. This wasn't just
2019 2020. Before he was drafted, it was
this year. This calendar year plan in place to I know you
don't listen outside noise but in the event that you somehow
have been, you know, Clockwork, Orange didn't to watching this
show,
it was this year,
they wanted, Tom Brady now
You Tom, Brady and Sean, Payton. That was the plan. It
was going to happen. But for
the head coach that was trying to run you out of town
following his lawsuit when he did it, what happened? So yeah,
it's,
you know, that thing to Good Luck. Picking Tom Brady's
brain. I remember when RG3 try to do that in joint, practice
Tom Brady's. Not telling you anything about a whole lot, as
long as he's still in the league, he's not telling you
jack squat. Yeah. II
don't disagree with you there. You're right. He's
ultra-competitive, he's not going to give you any and to
Many, you know, too many Clues here and come back and bite him
in the butt and beat him somewhere.
So at Brady's, you know, got a great way about him,
he is really cool to talk to there's no doubt. I'm sure he
said some good things too, to of that will help him out with
his career. Definitely. But I'm the even with two of their,
yeah, I wish he would just, you know,
yes, somebody tell it, like, do it, you don't look good. When
you say those things that looks like, you're like in a little
bit of a fantasy world to a degree. And that's another one
where,
you know, I was in not quite the similar situation but after
I lost my spleen and you'll remember this, I think it was
07 and might have been 08. The Buccaneers were
flirting with Brett Favre and we thought there was a chance
he might come down there and be our quarterback. I think. Right
before. Wait yeah that was all. Wait. Right. And then training
camp
and no I remember people like asking me and I just remember
going like it's Brett. Freaking Farva course they are going to
look at him. I certainly haven't earned the respect
Back to go, Brett Favre. Can't come here and, you know, beat
me out with a no spleen. And I'm not worth a damn right now
or any of the quarterbacks on the roster. We had Jeff Garcia
in that training camp anything.
So, you know, at some point you just got to deal with
the reality of like way that that guy is a football God and I'm
not going to be mad
at my owner and Coach
when they had an opportunity to kind of get that guy that they
did it. It doesn't necessarily mean, they didn't believe in
you or didn't like you or anything. It's just this guy is
the freaking man. He's the goat, doesn't have a, he's
gonna have, like his own little corner In the Hall of Fame.
So,
and I just, you know, sometimes I just think I wish players and
coaches would just take these things head-on and it would
kind of diffuse it, it would you wouldn't ask many questions
everyone. Okay, that's it. Boom, boom. And we move on
with life and when you kind of 2019 and 2020 know, five months
ago, two straight weeks, I just
said that it's now and it's just flat out wrong, it's
alternative facts, that's the thing. And it does it makes him
I'm look bad. And I don't know if he realizes it or if
someone's just lying to him. And he's peddling with
someone's telling
him but it just is a bad bad look.
