WEBVTT - 03/14/22 DPS Hour 1 Rick Stroud 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.800 Sports Radio. If you had a great weekend, everybody, Not 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.039 much happened, right, Come on in, stay a while, boys 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.120 are here, ready to go. Who It's a busy weekend, 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:17.720 a lot of things going on. We asked a poll 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.200 question last week and we only put it up for 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.840 a little while, and it was a snarky poll question, 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.840 more likely to appear in the Super Bowl next year, 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.000 and we put Russell Wilson and Tom Brady there. Well, 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.600 this is before Tom Brady announced he was coming back. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.120 Most of you, of course, said Russell Wilson, how would 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.240 you vote on that today? That might be our poll question. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.479 NFL offseason's gotten off to a crazy start. So he 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.400 had Russ going to Denver, Maury Cooper now with the 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.600 Cleveland Browns, Khalil Mack with the Chargers. That's happened in 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.920 the last two weeks, Aaron Rodgers drama. We finally put 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.279 an end to that, and then it got crazier as 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.279 Tom Brady announced yesterday that he would come back and 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.520 play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneer. Should this be a 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.400 big surprise. Brady led the league in passing yards, passing 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.560 touchdowns last year. Can't say he's slowing down. And then 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.840 you look at the rest of the NFC, there aren't 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.320 a lot of great quarterbacks to scare you. Now you 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.760 do have Aaron Rodgers there. Not sure what's going to 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.679 happen with Deshaun Watson and Matthew Stafford and the Rams, 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.640 but Tampa's roster is still pretty good. They do have 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.920 twenty four free agents, but Tom Brady giving the Buccaneers 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.479 heads up a head start to try to resign these 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.319 free agents, because I think the approach would be different 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.640 if Brady wasn't coming back and Blaine Gabbert was your quarterback. 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.039 Are you going to be all in? The timing of 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.800 this was very important, so you're a strong contender. You 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.040 went from twenty to one odds to win the Super 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.400 Bowl to now ten to one odds to win the 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.800 Super Bowl, and maybe we'll see a Peyton Manning like 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.680 ending to Tom Brady's Hall of Fame career. I wasn't 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.160 surprised yesterday. I was more surprised. So if I ask 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.480 you this question today, were you more surprised when he 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.360 announced he was retiring? Were you more surprised that he 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.760 announced that he was coming back. I was more surprised 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.720 that he retired because if you look at the numbers, 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.520 he could have easily won the MVP. He threw for 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.239 five thousand yards, he led the league in touchdown passes, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:27.000 and they almost beat the Rams. I mean if you 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.000 go back when he won the Super Bowl. So let's 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.919 say you're Tom Brady and I'm trying to figure all 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.800 of this out. By the way, we say good morning 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.399 to those watching on Peacock or those listening as well, 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:42.079 or radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio. You can download 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.560 the Peacock app watch this show for free. Got a 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.240 lot of things to talk about. The bracket challenge we have. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.440 You can be involved in this and I'll tell you 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.120 what we have giftwise that we're going to give away 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.760 to those who finish in the top three or four. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.040 Some of our sponsors stepped up big as you'd come 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.040 to expect here, and I'll tell you about that coming up. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.520 So Tom Brady wins the Super Bowl two years ago, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.600 and then I thought, okay, check, I did it without Melichick, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.799 I did it without the Patriots. I built this on 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.080 my own. Now there's no argument like I am the 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.280 goat I might be the goat of all goats, and 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.320 then he probably goes all right, So what's left? I 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.239 still have that competitive desire. I can play at a 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.480 high level, play one more year, maybe one more super Bowl, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.800 and then I start to think about what I'm going 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.280 to do the latter part of my life. Here the 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.240 second part of My life, Second Half podcast with Jim 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.400 Gray and Larry Fitzgerald. The Man in the Arena documentary 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.280 Still got TB twelve. I'm gonna be busy. And then 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.600 the season ends and the way it ended, and he's 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.480 got to go, we're better than the Rams. We should 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:04.240 have won, but the plans in place. I told Giselle 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.880 I'd give it one more try. I wanted to win 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.120 one more super Bowl. And it's you know, I liken 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.520 it to the guy who plans a wedding. We see 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.760 this all the time where you go, I mean that 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.320 guy bolted, that guy, that guy didn't get married. So 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.440 you have a year build up to getting married. Yeah, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.160 you meet with a photographer. What are we going to 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:29.479 have at the rehearsal dinner? Flowers? Honey? What do you 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.919 what do you want the invitation to look like? You know, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.800 how are we going to set up how many are 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:38.599 we inviting? And then all of a sudden, you go, wait, 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.960 what this is the rest of my life? Hold on here, 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.479 And it's almost like it's the reverse for Brady. He 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:53.440 was planning retirement, planning retirement. Okay, I'm gonna retire. Then 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.480 he goes no, got to the altar and went, no, no, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.040 this isn't what I want. I'd like to see the 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.599 people at least for another year if I can. So. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.640 Brady's back and I'm I was more surprised when he 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.760 retired than he unretired. The fact that they go from 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.480 twenty to one to ten to one. I don't know 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.760 if there's another player that would have those kind of 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.240 odds jump in your favor to win a Super Bowl. Now, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.320 if Aaron Rodgers had gone to Denver, I would have 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.920 been curious what Denver's odds would have been, although Denver 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.800 I think has top five odds. With Russell Wilson here 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.120 eight seven seven three d P show email address DP 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.640 at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:40.400 I couldn't help but think of Blaine Gabbert. Here's Blaine Gabbert, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.400 Brady's back up. He's got to be thinking, Yep, I'd 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.279 be a starting quarterback again. Take over for Tom. I'm back. 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.520 And then all of a sudden, probably heard did you 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:58.360 hear about to what? Tom's over in England watching a 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:04.160 Manchester United soccer match with the Glazers. Now you start 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.240 to go, wait, what's he doing over there? All? This 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.200 is probably on his wish list, his bucket list. I 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.760 always wanted to see a game Manchester United, and all 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.640 of a sudden there's this picture with him and Christiano Ronaldo, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:25.240 and Ronaldo says, are you done? And Brady can't answer. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.720 He can't lie to CR seven and so he didn't 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.000 say anything, and I went, oh my god. I thought 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.599 he was asking for permission from the Glazers face to face, 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.120 to be traded to the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.520 That's what I thought, And then it turns out he 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.000 probably said, out of respect, I want to come over, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.840 I want to talk to you, and I want to 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.240 let you know that I want to come back. Maybe, 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:58.480 but I started to think Mike Florio might be right, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.080 that Brady would be coming to play for the San 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.000 Francisco forty nine ers. That was a big topic yesterday, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.800 certainly with our listeners because Mike Florio says he'll take 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.120 a pie of the face if Brady doesn't end up 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.400 with the forty nine ers this year. Florio joins us 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.680 on the program tomorrow, we'll check in with the Buccaneers 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.520 coming up here. We will discuss March Madness. Oh, Fritzy 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.840 Fritzie was on fire this morning. Tom Brady hijacked March Madness. 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.480 Selection Sunday go ahead time. I'd like it. I understand 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.320 that decisions have to be made in free agents and 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.640 who's coming back to the Bucks and where everyone's going. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.080 But the unofficial period, from what I was looking at, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.240 starts today and then the official free agency period starts 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.000 two days from now. So I'm not sure what the 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.280 difference is between Sunday afternoon Sunday night and this morning 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.000 or this afternoon. How that would alter it significantly? Who's 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.440 going to be playing with him on the Bucks? This 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:54.240 But it hijacked a TV show? Yeah, but it's one day. Ye, 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.680 it's selection Sunday. It's the practice. Does have to be 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.160 selection Sundays slash Tom Brady's unretiring? Does it really you 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.200 really have to do that? What if Brady did it 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.360 on Thursday? First day of the full games. That would 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.480 be terrible too, that he couldn't wait till Thursday anyway, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.200 because I you know, this is Wednesday starts the free 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.760 agency thing. I just think that, well, if he did 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.640 it Wednesday, then you would say, oh, he's hijacking the 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.200 games they start tomorrow. You know what he could He 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.960 could hijack the first four on the second four games 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.280 Tuesday or Wednesday. But on Selection Sunday. Do you think 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:31.720 if Tom Brady did not unretire that all we're talking 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.880 about is March madness today? No, But I have a 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.439 problem with the one day a year that's Selection Sunday 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:38.880 that it doesn't have They don't have to share the 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.800 news or be dwarfed by Brady's retirement. It didn't have 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.040 to be yesterday. There was no drama yesterday. It's still exciting. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.440 You're still watching the Black now because it's exciting because 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.480 you love it. When I go and the Yale Bulldogs 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.480 are going to play the Perdue Boilermakers, Yes, that's that's 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.200 fun to me. Where they go with Saint Peters has 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.880 a date with you could see walk but you can 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.040 still do it. He didn't take that away from you, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.840 just leave selection Sunday. Let it be on the sports 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.480 calendar alone, and then this morning where noon or whatever, 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.559 just then you could say it today. I just I 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.240 don't know what that Why it had to be yesterday? 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.040 I think someone would have to convince me why it 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.839 had to be? When did you become Billy buzzc. I'm 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.839 a little curmudgeon a little bit. I know, we'll get 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.880 off my lawnish. I know that bothered me. The first 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.440 thing I thought. It wasn't like he's coming back. It 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.000 was like, really, you're announcing this selection Sunday. How much 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.480 attention do you need? Yeah? See, well it's not like 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.440 I mean, Selection Sunday is like a made for TV event. Yeah, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:34.920 you know what I mean. So it's not like he 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.560 had to be you know, Tom, Well, what's CBS's TV 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.880 schedule right now that they have any programming? I don't 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.840 want to counter do you think Brady was going? Well, 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.160 the Player's Championship is going on. I don't want to 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.640 interrupt golf. I don't know if I can do that, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.400 but I think he likes to stand alone date of announcing, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.520 so because when it got leaked, No, he's so big, 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.840 it's going to stand alone. If nobody cared about Brady, 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.400 wouldn't you know, then it wouldn't be a standalone store 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.840 or watch thirteenth the suck and Sunday Monday, March fourteenth 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.920 hours the day Tom Brady and after it was coming 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.680 back and then everybody gets their day. Okay, but did 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.760 you come up with mock headlines for March madness or 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.720 did you come up with mock headlines and a limerick 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.280 for Tom Brady? He'd like to limerick for Tom Bray. Okay, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.520 what about the love of the tournament, because that's what 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.800 I said. He hijack selection Sunday. Now it's all about 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.080 Tom Brady. Look to change at my point at all? Okay, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.120 there was all about suck Sunday till he had to say, 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.360 why don't I also say I'm on retiring on the 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.640 day of the brackets coming Well, why don't you give it? 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.560 Is that Tom Brady's voice there by the way, Okay, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.560 but very good, Why don't you give us? You're Tom 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.240 Brady limerick? It was the day for selection Sunday brackets, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.080 but someone else just had to make a racket. Tom 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.720 Brady threw us for loops, hijacking college hoops sitting at home. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.480 He just couldn't hack it. All right, let's go okay, 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.560 Amry Frittety goes No, that's how I feels. Sorry, Paul, 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.760 he's got his Compbay T shirt on. I like that. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.920 It's contraband. Yeah, trademark still pending. I checked yesterday. I know, 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.320 Paul goes hey, he's still in trademark Tampa Bay. I said, 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.960 let's let's let you know, kick the dog here. You 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.199 know it's it's been sleeping and everything's good.

Okay, we also have 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.880 best quarterbacks signing this offseason Russell Wilson to Denver, Aaron 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.560 Rodgers and Green Bay, Tom Brady and Tampa Bay, Kirk 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.319 Cousins in Minnesota bombshell, or you have the commanders in 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:22.560 Carson Wentz. The Kirk Cousins stuff is is mind boggling, 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.360 mind boggling. I'll, I'm gonna need a little time to 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.880 tell you about that. With Kirk d Cousins, dam is 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.719 he a great businessman, Not a great quarterback, but he's 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.000 a great businessman. Yeampole, Maybe he should be the general 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:42.400 manager of the team. Yeah, I don't know, all right, 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.840 Age seven seven three d P show Email on dores DPN, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.480 Dan Pantri dot com, Twitter handle at DPS show check 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.800 in with the Buccaneers.

Tom 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.640 Brady in some of the matchups he's going to have 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.480 this upcoming season, and you know, I think you can 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.240 max out at six primetime games. I think you can 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.080 maybe flex into a seventh, but I think it's six 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.319 primetime games. I don't think that they were going to 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.520 have six primetime games with Blaine Gabbert as the quarterback, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.120 but with Tom Brady, he's back in primetime and we'll 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.160 talk about that schedule coming up.

Are we are we defining it 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.600 as that Seaton that this is a Tom Brady related 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.760 or is it We don't know who we're referring to 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.680 with our never Say Never T shirt, Adam, what do 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:18.600 you exactly? We also have a T shirt Family over 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:23.000 football or is it foot family? Football over family? I 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.080 think the words just when I wrote it up, it 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.120 was just happen to be that way, that football was 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:34.280 a top of family. No innuendo. Okay, brains, beauty, athleticism, 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.600 they well, they all come together with Mercedes Spens. Their 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.880 family of suv say, family of unrivaled vehicles waiting for 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.920 you at your local dealer. Let's bring in the popular 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.480 Rick Stroud. I didn't think I'd be talking to Rick 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.640 probably the rest of my life. It covers the Buccaneers 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.640 for the Tampa Bay Times host Sports Day Tampa Bay podcast. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.080 I think those were my last words to you, Rick, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.680 and here you are, just like Brady, You're back. If 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.880 I would have asked you, if I would have asked 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:08.280 you on Friday that Tom Brady is coming back or 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:13.120 he's going to stay retired, what would you have said? Retired? Yeah? Yeah, 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.280 it's it's this whole thing is weird. Man. I can't 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.000 get used to the time change. Like it's Jason Light 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.680 Savings time right now, right, I mean it's like twenty 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.800 and twenty, Like I woke up and they did it 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.919 all over again. Right, they got remarried. You know there 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.040 was always a chance, right. I mean, people I talked 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.640 too close to Brady said he'd give him, give him 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.720 ninety days. Well he only needed forty. And I don't 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.239 think you know the timing is not coincidental. I mean, 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.720 you know we're starting at noon today, a period where 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.280 any team can reach a deal with any free agent 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.480 from another team, and so you know, Tom obviously wants 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.800 to win. If he wants to win, he's got to 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:52.840 keep his guys in. We've already seen a deal done 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.760 for Ryan Jensen, which was probably a little bit of 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.080 a savings. I think Jensen could have gotten fifteen million 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.639 dollars a year. He comes back for thirteen in to 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.880 play with Brady, and you're gonna see a lot of signings, 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.560 I think really in the next few hours, even for 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.879 the Bucks to retain as many of their guys as 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.480 they can, and of course they got the draft and 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.360 their own free agency to deal with. Are you more 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:20.000 surprised that he retired or did a young retire? I 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.800 think I was a little more surprised that he retired, 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.560 And it might have to do with why he's not 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.760 retired now, and that is Dan He was playing as 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.959 good a football as he has ever played. I mean, 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.160 the tape shows it. The arm strength was certainly there. 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.520 He led the league in passing, you know, five thousand, 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.679 three hundred and sixteen yards forty three touchdowns. Hell, they 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.720 should have won that last game he brought him back, 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.240 you know, down twenty four or whatever it was. They 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.000 tied up with under a minute to go, and if 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.840 not for some really bad defense down the stretch, you know, 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:50.960 the Rams kicked the field goal and win. But if 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.560 the Bucks win in that game, they're hosting San Francisco, right, 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:55.359 and maybe they go on and win the Super Bowl. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.560 And I think Tom realized that and he said it, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.680 I mean, I don't know what unfinished this you could have, 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.440 but but he's found some and I think that he 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.919 just felt like when he gets to September, he's going 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.560 to know he should be playing football, and you know, 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.600 that decision needed to be made, and it needed to 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.399 be made, you know, before today. I wonder if he 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.520 had won another Super Bowl this past year that that 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.600 would have been the finality to this. That he's always 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.480 going to have unfinished business unless he wins the super Bowl. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.840 But then you know, that's where you want to come 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.000 back because you just won the super Bowl. So it 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:35.399 never ends unless it's an injury. But you know, he's healthy, 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.679 and that's what I wonder about. How he comes up 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:42.600 with the now I'm ready to retire, I don't know, 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.320 And we talked about this when he did retire. You know, 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.800 the great ones are always the ones that don't know 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.040 when to leave the party. You know, the lights are 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.000 on and the vacuum cleaners are going, and they're still 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.919 there at the bar, and you know Tom Brady can 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.040 still sling it. You know he can still do it, 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.360 and he's taking a risk. Let's be honest. He could 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.640 have walked away on top, maybe not after the confetti. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.600 I think the thought was they wouldn't win a super 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.440 Bowl in their first year, but maybe their second, and 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.920 they kind of did it reverse right. But the fact 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.600 is is that you know, he could get hurt and 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.120 we might you know, God forbid, he looks like Ben 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.600 Roethlisberger at some point. I mean, these are all things. 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.760 We don't know what the last image of Tom Brady 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.240 will be. We know what, you know how he played 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.240 in the final game against the Rams last year, but 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:27.960 we don't know how this is going to go. And 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.480 so he's taking a risk, but it's a calculated one 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.720 and I think that he's pretty comfortable knowing the landscape 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.280 of the NFC, especially in the NFC South. They can 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.600 absolutely win this division, but they have a brutal schedule. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.840 They play in Germany, they play a ton of playoff teams, Cincinnati, 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.560 the Rams, you know in Baltimore, all these teams, and 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.520 it's going to be it's gonna be a tougher road 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.320 this year they go. You know, it's not going to 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.440 be easy for him, for sure. How does Brady coming 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:59.960 back change the direction of this team? If Blaine Gabbage 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.600 the quarterback, what is the direction as opposed to Tom 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:08.440 Brady downward? I mean, nothing against playing Gapper like a 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.520 rebuild yet well yet kind of. I mean, for sure, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.800 I think what they would have done. You know, look, 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.280 I know they were in the talks for the Shaun Watson, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.520 but Bruce Arians when I talked to him yesterday, said 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.560 he just didn't think that was going to happen. Now, 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.199 whether that's ownership or compensation, he was not confident they 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.240 were going to get to Shaun Watson. So they would 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.640 have signed another free agent, you know, whether that's Teddy 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.440 Bridgewater or somebody else, to compete with Blaine and try 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:34.760 to bring along Kyle Trask. I mean, they like Kyle Trask. 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:36.959
