13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: and welcome. It's Saturday morning. A little emergency podcast as

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, after twenty two seasons, is retiring. First broken

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: by Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington. I had said on

16
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: more than one occasion. This week it was the first

17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: time I believe Tom had a greater than fifty percent

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: chance to retire. He seemed almost satisfied with the way

19
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: the season ended. Two things that really jumped out to me,

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: how unprepared the Buccaneers looked in their loss to the Rams,

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: completely unprepared in the first half. It was a meltdown.

22
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: And the second thing that jumps out to me the

23
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: Patriots off and lost playoff games. Belichick was never unprepared.

24
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: This has been the knock on Bruce arians he runs

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: a very loose ship. It's not tight, it's outspoken, it's edgy,

26
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: it's big play. Tom's mister efficiency, so you can lose.

27
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: But Tom's team looked absolutely outclassed, outsmarted, and outmaneuvered. That's

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: something my notice. Previously to that, I had said multiple

29
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: times that Tom kept giving us little hints when he

30
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: was leaving New England. Right, well, he gave us little

31
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: hints post Thanksgiving with Tampa. He was frustrated, a lack

32
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: of focus. People just need to do their jobs. He

33
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: was giving us hints throughout the course of this season

34
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: that it wasn't a tight ship. And this is something

35
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: important to remember. Tom's a creature of habit. Tom loves structure,

36
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick has created the finest structure Lombardiesque Bill

37
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Walsh esque just longer than anybody in league history. New

38
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: England wasn't always the best drafting team. They weren't always

39
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the most physical team, they weren't always the fastest or

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: most gifted team. They had the best structure, they had

41
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: the best system. Tom loves that TV twelves a system.

42
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: It's about structure, his clothing line. That's what Tom. He

43
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: really met somebody that saw the world like he did. Efficiency, details, outwork,

44
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: head down, Belichick and Brady, and I think when he

45
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: went to Tampa he wanted more control, He wanted up

46
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: more dynamic weapons, he wanted more of a say, and

47
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: he got that, but he realized with Bruce Arians, there's

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: there's some given take here. You know, I think we

49
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: all know when I say certain coaches. We know Pete

50
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Carroll and Mike Tomlin heavy on the emotion. NATO was

51
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: great on in game details. We know that Belichick, Belichick

52
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: great on structure. Nato was good drafting weapons to elevate

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We know Bruce Arians big play offense. You

54
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: know what do they say, risk it or no biscuit.

55
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Tom got frustrated with that last year. He was frustrated

56
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: with that last year, and there was that buy and

57
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: then this melting, this convergence of their offensive belief systems,

58
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: and Tom went out and they became a more efficient

59
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: short passing, intermediate passing game offense. Tom got mostly what

60
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: he wanted. He got Gronk, he got Antonio Brown, he

61
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: got the offense tweaked at the end of last year,

62
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: and he got a huge break when the Kansas City

63
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs offensive line fell apart and he won the Super Bowl.

64
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: But I think over the course of time, you know,

65
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: it's the old grass is Noah's greener. After two years

66
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: in Tampa, Tom has his health, but he grew increasingly

67
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: frustrated with the culture. And you know, I was very,

68
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: very fortunate. I lived in the New England area Patriots

69
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: country for eleven years in Connecticut, and I lived in

70
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Tampa for two two and a half years. They are

71
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: complete opposite cultures. And Tom, to me, between Michigan and

72
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots, he felt like he fit in New England. Sometimes,

73
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: right like Tom, He's not outside at the beach. Tom

74
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: is sitting there watching film with his smoothies, with his

75
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: family on his acreage. And he would have fun in

76
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Costa Rica or Montana or wherever he has houses. But

77
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, the New England weather when I lived there,

78
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I said this for years ESPN benefited from the lack

79
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: of great weather. What else is there to do. There's

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: nothing to do in Connecticut. You stay extra at work,

81
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: you grind, you put in the hours, and I just

82
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: felt like, that's Belichick. I don't think of Belichick as

83
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: a big social animal. He and Brady never had dinner.

84
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: But I think over time, sometimes you want to be

85
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: more expressive and you want to have a greater say.

86
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: And Tom did that, and he proved to himself he

87
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: could do it. But I think deep down, at the

88
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: end of this year, he missed the academic nature, the intensity,

89
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: the predictability of Belichick. I think it made him appreciate

90
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick more. He always appreciated it, but it made

91
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: him appreciate him more. And I think Belichick, frankly, after

92
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years without Tom, you know, he's not

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: a huggy, kissy guy, but I think he appreciates what

94
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Tom brought to the table, the gamesmanship, the urgency. Tom's

95
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: always been a better thrower or the football than anybody's

96
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: given him credit for. So I'm not shocked by it.

97
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm surprised a little, but I said this week, I

98
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: thought it was a greater than fifty percent chance, and

99
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: I'd never felt that before. Tom sounded almost satisfied, not relieved,

100
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: but satisfy the way the season ended. You know, he's

101
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: a remarkable guy, a remarkable dad. You know, we didn't

102
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: talk a lot about pre snap before Peyton Manning and

103
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I talked about this last week. There's been

104
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: three evolutions of quarter back. There was Marino and Elway

105
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, where they were stars the minute

106
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: they entered the league. They just looked different and played differently.

107
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: The next evolution was Peyton, Manning and Brady where we

108
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: never talked about pre snapped. They were they were manipulating

109
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage before the ball was snapped. And

110
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 1: then the third evolution is Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes

111
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: last Sunday, where we never talked arm angle. We didn't

112
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: have quarterbacks leaping over people and throwing side arm and

113
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: sliders to Tyreek Hill. And Brady's aig a big part

114
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: of that. So you know, I said this a couple

115
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I meant it. Alabama football, Tom Brady

116
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: and Lebron James. I don't want to discredit any of

117
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: the three, but there's a certain fatigue, and I liked

118
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: seeing the Rams beat Brady in the bucks. I was

119
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: time for a new story. Mcvaan Stafford's a fun new story.

120
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: I've said this about Aaron Rodgers. I'd love for him

121
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: to go to Denver. I feel the Aaron Rodgers Green

122
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: Bay story. I've seen it. It's topped out. I think

123
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Tom realizes the Tampa story. He left New England frustrated

124
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: with a lack of weapons. It topped out. He goes

125
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: to Tampa, frustrated with the lack of structure. It's topped out.

126
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: So Tom's always had a pretty impeccable sense of timing

127
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: from in game to exiting New England to a social

128
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: media to now in Tampa. I like Tampa. I lived

129
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years. But it's it's ybor city.

130
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: It's cocktails early, it's a port city. It's fun, it's loose,

131
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: and it's one of those A lot of people go

132
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: there to golf and retire. It's laid back, and I

133
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: think in the rear view mirror, Tom's like, you know what,

134
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: I got a little of both. I lived in New England.

135
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: I vacation for a couple of years in Tampa and

136
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: it's time. Remarkable guy, remarkable career, More when more news breaks.

137
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady retiring twenty two remarkable years. The volume
