What? Yeah, when's
When's the Tom Brady album coming where he
you know, like Terry Bradshaw R & D on Sam coming. This holiday
goodies musical artists.
Thank God. He can't sing because let me tell you if he
could sing the son of a b**** would do it. I'm telling you
if he could sing he would do it. I mean that in a loving and
respectful way, but he would do it, he would do it. If he could
sing. It's almost like
he was shoved in the closet for 18 years and had All these
emotions and thoughts and like,
just damn, I've been locking away my personality because he
does have a great personality. The does it's I mean, it's
great that everybody is getting to see that.
That's one thing. I've known about Tom Brady for a long
time. He's amazing Charisma course, amazing people skills.
He's funny.
He's humble.
So all that I respect. Yeah, there's some insecurity. Sure,
but he doesn't, you know, we can dance down that lane every
now and then whatever. But either way.
Yes.
I feel like it's like, it's almost a makeup from being
locked away and Belichick Ville for so long. And now he's like,
oh my gosh, this is great to open my mouth and be me and not
have to worry,
and he needs somebody to rein him in a little bit. That's our
point. I think it's, it's the he's running the risk of Tom,
Brady
overload. I would agree. Um, yeah, I would agree, but
but but but but he, I mean, he, yeah, but he's still killing it
and we're talking eye on a mid to late May morning. Thank you
very much, Tom.
You and look I've I knew
the moment that they came back and beat
the Falcons in Super Bowl. 50 one that that was when he
entered another world fighter.
That's when he became greatest quarterback of all time,
maybe greatest NFL player of all time.
And that was where and
five freaking years ago.
I started saying, then he's now in that Michael Jordan Phase
where you better go see him play while you can. Yeah. He's
anywhere near you. Distance, short flight, wherever get
a ticket and go see him play. And that's,
that's where he's been. So look,
I wanted to keep playing. I appreciate it. I think he can
play Beyond 45. I kept thinking. Yeah, talking about
he's gay. You can play. You can play it till he could play
until he's 50. If you wanted to his army will be there. Kind of
people think he's going to Fox next year.
That that deal isn't going anywhere and I suspect look
the day. I was there. I suspect that that contract is written
in a way that gives him full flexibility
to decide. I'd when
the 10-year period starts
and and there's he can he can play as long as he wants it.
He's not going to put any limit on how long he can play,
are some artificial limit in a
fox contract. And I wanted to keep playing.
I've said before, I want Aaron Rodgers to play until he's 60.
I'll take Tom Brady and till he's 60. I'll settle for 50
Min. These are some of the great quarterbacks of all time
who are still getting it done. And you know, we set aside all
the other stuff we can appreciate the fact that
there's a Brilliance there.
That competitive drive after the fu TV stuff, all the stuff
that gets them motivated. It's hard to keep doing it year in
and year out. I remember when, you know, when he retired
and just the way that it all worked. Yeah. I mean he it's no
one's ever done this before. No, no one's ever played at
this level. So deep into their life, that they know what to
do. And how do you balance family?
When your family is maturing before your eyes
and your career is still going
like, for most professional athletes?
You hit the natural ending point.
You never have to get into these issues and he found a way
to. He's found a way. He's found a balance. He's found
a balance, all it took was being home for four or five weeks and
his wife saying, can you
get out of here?
How do ya? You're out of balance. Something to do?
Yeah. It's I think it's great. I think it's great and it's
inspirational to look. I mean, we will be critical that he
bit but it's a fair
and IBO critical. We're just bringing up a point. I think
I think that there's I think that he needs somebody to tell I'm
lying. You can you can be Overexposed. Yes, and you can
start alienating people
just because,
oh God, here he is. Yeah. Yeah, I ever like to get just, I've
had enough, I've had enough there is. Yes, right. There's
I think there is. I mean, again, you just look at anything on
social media, or
sometimes an article you write about them. And you can see,
you know, if you see 100 comments, you see 2025 that are
like that for sure,
but it is interesting and you're right. I mean, listen,
I'm a guy that's set this at here and
over the last year, have changed
then and do believe. Grady Brady is the goat I do.
I mean it's because notice what the quarterbacks NFL players or
no? Well, this is where I want to get into because this is
where I think it's an interesting conversation, go to
quarterbacks. Sure. Yes,
no doubt about it
and it but where it's different to me. And I think the hard
time or I had a hard time coming around to it. I mean, we
know he's got, you know, you know, all the hardware and
the most more pelts on the horse and anybody for sure.
All right, so that's awesome.
But unlike Muhammad Ali or Babe, Ruth or Michael Jordan,
the guys that are up there with him.
They were the physically, best at their sport, right? There
was a time where you went. Nobody is physically better
Muhammad. Ali's, hands are so damn quick. And his feet are so
quick and he had a good chin that he was the best in
the sport. There was nobody that doubted not only did he have
the brains and
the you know, the toughness
But the physical ability Jordan
at his best. Absolutely. The physically best player we've
ever seen in the history of the NBA and then Babe Ruth was
hitting more home runs than the rest of the league combined. So
that just tells you
the where the the Brady thing is different is kind of what
you were saying. It's this consistent,
top three top five quarterback in football for 22 years.
And the last few years
and Tamp, especially,
you know, aggressive throws.
Winning games going for it. Not worried about I threw three
interceptions in the NFC championship game and then
crawling to a halt making a crawl. Crawl into a hole. Make
a big throw,
you know, in the fourth quarter into a tight window, to put
the game away to me, you know, that's where Rogers, misses
a little bit. But I also with Brady and I'm sorry to talk
here, but just like
his absolute best to me is still not
the, as good as the absolute best
a Manning and Aaron Rodgers or
a John Elway. And that's where it's a little different and I'm
just talking here because we're Sports guys. You're right.
Yeah. Listen. Listen. Yeah, it's it's it's the Emmitt Smith
Dynamic. A little bit your but that's a good one to use from
Rabbits. Smith was never
the jaw-dropping. Oh crap. Barry Sanders. Yes, right
wasn't one righty-right. Right buddy. Just kept going. Yeah,
and going and going through any and all adversity, any and all.
All injury. He kept going until he was the king of the mountain
and was there ever a time where Emmitt Smith just jumps off
your TV screen as having legendary skills. No,
but he did it
better longer
than anyone else. Yeah, and that the I think that's what.
And
I mean, had three. Tom Brady's, got seven. Yeah,
that that's you bring all that together the longevity, right?
The championship pedigree.
And the Fitties 40. He's going to be 45 and a couple of
months. Yeah, and
it's just so funny that he retired. Now, we know we
I think as we get farther removed from
the retirement, I'd like to think that people
with common sense and logic and inability to be remotely
objective. We're going to understand that it wasn't
retirement. Yet was an effort to get away from the Buccaneers
and I know that this really pisses off Buccaneers fans and
intern Dolphins
fans because they're all in with to. But
that's It's what it was.
He wanted to go to a different team. Yes, and if he just
hadn't signed the extension in 21, he would have been a free
agent and he could have gone to another team.
But he was in that they had him at, they had him in a
credit to the Buccaneers.
They had him in a box
and they weren't letting him out.
No. No, I thought they would.
I thought they would
but they weren't letting that asset go.
Because they knew if this guy plays, if we can,
if we can push his buttons the right way and get him to play.
Got a full Stadium
this year one. Otherwise, it's going to be crickets
for Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask or whoever else. They
would have brought in. I just wonder if they would have, let
him go with the Miami thing. You know?
Again, I'm still one that thinks there was even maybe
a wiggling to go to Fort San Francisco as we've talked about
before,
you know, we discussed that, I still think it's odd that, you
know, the 49ers and Shanahan wasn't at the combine and just
happened to be that Tom Brady was down the road at that time.
So he hires his former. Teammate, Brian.
And greasy to be the court. Exactly. So I could see, same
week. I could see like Tampa not being cool with that like
where you're not going to the 49ers, and I have to play in
the NFC championship game, that ain't happening.
So I do Wonder though if the Brian Flores thing happened and
all that, if they would have, let it go as I discussed
before. And I,
and maybe I misspoke a little bit here with this,
you know, but but
there was talks of this, it was way down the road as you talked
about, and it was my understanding that they needed
an answer because they wanted to get
Into the maybe into the quarterback Market if they knew
he wasn't going to play. And
that's what made the decision happened. Maybe a little bit
more, you know, hastily after that. What happened was, when
he retires
the Miami thing is happening.
It's happening. Yes.
So whatever was going to go down, they'd already crossed
that bridge. I know you've heard second-round pick. I know
that was going to be a first-round pick in 2023 for
Sean Payton,
that it was happening
and
Then it doesn't happen because of Brian Flores. That's when
Tom Brady has to
go back and re-evaluate and figure out what he's going to
do. Right? And that maybe when it became obvious to him, okay,
I'm not going to find an easy path to another team.
The Buccaneers. He didn't want it. See I thought I thought it
was to his benefit to let the Buccaneers move on if
the Buccaneers had traded for Deshaun, Watson, or Baker,
Mayfield and have a big Financial commitment to some
other guy,
then if you're Tom, Brady,
And you say, okay. I'm coming back. They're gonna say oh God.
No we've moved on like the Packers did with Aaron Rodgers
after Brett Favre life. So I thought he play that out but
I don't want to take that risk. Yeah, I didn't think you wanted
to take that risk. Yeah. I think. That's right. It will.
Because he knows that the damn the Bucks are that's still one
of the handful of teams that got the talent to go to
the Super Bowl here. I can't just let that go, you know, and and
one of the things I will say where I want to correct myself
for Jason light or anybody out there in Tampa Bay
because I know I got some pushback from Rick Stroud,
the Writer and Tampa where I had kind of brought up in one
point. The name DeShaun Watson, right? And I was kind of just
using it as an example to say they were getting in
the quarterback market
and that's not I didn't have any knowledge or know anything
about DeShaun, Watson and Tampa. And I want to make that
clear and I don't think from what I know, Tampa did not try
to pursue him.
All right, at? Also. I'd like to clear that up for sure. But
either way, you're not the only one that said at the, I know,
I know. But I don't want to. I like them bucks. I like
the Bucks. I want. I know. Jason light. I want. I don't want
them.
To think I'm trying to, you know, throw shade out there or
or make them look bad or anything like that.
So I didn't want to correct that part.
I think the other factor to Tom knew I better come back before
they put the schedule together. Hmm.
Yeah, or I'm not my brand is going to suffer. I'm not going
to be in Prime Time.
Five times. If I wait too long and they admitted the schedule
makers did they went back and started over again? Well, Tom
Brady and retired, the try to maximize their assets and
and that's why Chris to bring it back.
Would the Buccaneers have let him go to Miami?
I think yes, because I think it's some point. 345 Park
Avenue gets involved to make sure that Tom Brady is going
to Miami and playing football.
We want Tom Brady on that wall. We need him on that wall. This
guy wants to play in the NFL. He's our biggest attraction.
One of them.
If not the biggest attraction?
Hell, yes, Tampa Bay. And I was saying back the time. It's
an easy argument for
Tom Brady to make hey, I did the extension last year to help
you guys under the salary, right? Yeah, right. I did
a two-year contract. I've been here two years. I did a one
year extension for cap purposes. Come on.
Let me go. I think, what's out? Try the gym getting, let's go
right again. As I've been led to believe by people that are
very much in the know that the the, yes, a lot of that was in
this happening. Yes, it
folks. Well, they're all known everybody. We'll figure it out
Annalise, you know, it was
In happening. Yes, Brian Flores lawsuit is what kept it from
happening. But for that lawsuit, Tom, Brady gets
announced the following week
as a minority owner of the dolphins.
Not long after that. Sean, Payton becomes the head coach.
And, at some point after that, Tom Brady becomes
The quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, it was happening and
you can you can you can say FU TV
or laptop or cell phone not that any of those instruments
are guilty. In this regard, you're mad at us.
You can be mad all you want. It was happening.
