0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and welcome. It's Saturday morning. A little emergency podcast as

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, after twenty two seasons, is retiring. First broken

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>by Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington. I had said on

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>more than one occasion. This week it was the first

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>time I believe Tom had a greater than fifty percent

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 1>chance to retire. He seemed almost satisfied with the way

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>the season ended. Two things that really jumped out to me,

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>how unprepared the Buccaneers looked in their loss to the Rams,

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>completely unprepared in the first half. It was a meltdown.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>And the second thing that jumps out to me the

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Patriots off and lost playoff games. Belichick was never unprepared.

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 1>This has been the knock on Bruce arians he runs

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a very loose ship. It's not tight, it's outspoken, it's edgy,

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>it's big play. Tom's mister efficiency, so you can lose.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>But Tom's team looked absolutely outclassed, outsmarted, and outmaneuvered. That's

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>something my notice. Previously to that, I had said multiple

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>times that Tom kept giving us little hints when he

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>was leaving New England. Right, well, he gave us little

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 1>hints post Thanksgiving with Tampa. He was frustrated, a lack

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of focus. People just need to do their jobs. He

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>was giving us hints throughout the course of this season

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that it wasn't a tight ship. And this is something

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>important to remember. Tom's a creature of habit. Tom loves structure,

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and Bill Belichick has created the finest structure Lombardiesque Bill

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Walsh esque just longer than anybody in league history. New

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>England wasn't always the best drafting team. They weren't always

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the most physical team, they weren't always the fastest or

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>most gifted team. They had the best structure, they had

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the best system. Tom loves that TV twelves a system.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It's about structure, his clothing line. That's what Tom. He

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>really met somebody that saw the world like he did. Efficiency, details, outwork,

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>head down, Belichick and Brady, and I think when he

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>went to Tampa he wanted more control, He wanted up

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>more dynamic weapons, he wanted more of a say, and

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he got that, but he realized with Bruce Arians, there's

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>there's some given take here. You know, I think we

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>all know when I say certain coaches. We know Pete

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Carroll and Mike Tomlin heavy on the emotion. NATO was

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>great on in game details. We know that Belichick, Belichick

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>great on structure. Nato was good drafting weapons to elevate

0:03:52.640 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback. We know Bruce Arians big play offense. You

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>know what do they say, risk it or no biscuit.

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Tom got frustrated with that last year. He was frustrated

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>with that last year, and there was that buy and

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>then this melting, this convergence of their offensive belief systems,

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and Tom went out and they became a more efficient

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>short passing, intermediate passing game offense. Tom got mostly what

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>he wanted. He got Gronk, he got Antonio Brown, he

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>got the offense tweaked at the end of last year,

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 1>and he got a huge break when the Kansas City

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs offensive line fell apart and he won the Super Bowl.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think over the course of time, you know,

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>it's the old grass is Noah's greener. After two years

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in Tampa, Tom has his health, but he grew increasingly

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>frustrated with the culture. And you know, I was very,

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>very fortunate. I lived in the New England area Patriots

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>country for eleven years in Connecticut, and I lived in

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Tampa for two two and a half years. They are

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>complete opposite cultures. And Tom, to me, between Michigan and

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots, he felt like he fit in New England. Sometimes,

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>right like Tom, He's not outside at the beach. Tom

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 1>is sitting there watching film with his smoothies, with his

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>family on his acreage. And he would have fun in

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Costa Rica or Montana or wherever he has houses. But

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, the New England weather when I lived there,

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I said this for years ESPN benefited from the lack

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of great weather. What else is there to do. There's

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do in Connecticut. You stay extra at work,

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you grind, you put in the hours, and I just

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>felt like, that's Belichick. I don't think of Belichick as

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.679
<v Speaker 1>a big social animal. He and Brady never had dinner.

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>But I think over time, sometimes you want to be

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>more expressive and you want to have a greater say.

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 1>And Tom did that, and he proved to himself he

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 1>could do it. But I think deep down, at the

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 1>end of this year, he missed the academic nature, the intensity,

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the predictability of Belichick. I think it made him appreciate

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Bill Belichick more. He always appreciated it, but it made

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>him appreciate him more. And I think Belichick, frankly, after

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years without Tom, you know, he's not

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>a huggy, kissy guy, but I think he appreciates what

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Tom brought to the table, the gamesmanship, the urgency. Tom's

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>always been a better thrower or the football than anybody's

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>given him credit for. So I'm not shocked by it.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised a little, but I said this week, I

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a greater than fifty percent chance, and

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd never felt that before. Tom sounded almost satisfied, not relieved,

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>but satisfy the way the season ended. You know, he's

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a remarkable guy, a remarkable dad. You know, we didn't

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>talk a lot about pre snap before Peyton Manning and

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady. I talked about this last week. There's been

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>three evolutions of quarter back. There was Marino and Elway

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.119
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen eighty three, where they were stars the minute

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>they entered the league. They just looked different and played differently.

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>The next evolution was Peyton, Manning and Brady where we

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>never talked about pre snapped. They were they were manipulating

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmage before the ball was snapped. And

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.239
<v Speaker 1>then the third evolution is Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>last Sunday, where we never talked arm angle. We didn't

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>have quarterbacks leaping over people and throwing side arm and

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>sliders to Tyreek Hill. And Brady's aig a big part

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of that. So you know, I said this a couple

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, and I meant it. Alabama football, Tom Brady

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and Lebron James. I don't want to discredit any of

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the three, but there's a certain fatigue, and I liked

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>seeing the Rams beat Brady in the bucks. I was

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>time for a new story. Mcvaan Stafford's a fun new story.

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I've said this about Aaron Rodgers. I'd love for him

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to go to Denver. I feel the Aaron Rodgers Green

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Bay story. I've seen it. It's topped out. I think

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Tom realizes the Tampa story. He left New England frustrated

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>with a lack of weapons. It topped out. He goes

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to Tampa, frustrated with the lack of structure. It's topped out.

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So Tom's always had a pretty impeccable sense of timing

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>from in game to exiting New England to a social

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>media to now in Tampa. I like Tampa. I lived

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>there for a couple of years. But it's it's ybor city.

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>It's cocktails early, it's a port city. It's fun, it's loose,

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's one of those A lot of people go

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>there to golf and retire. It's laid back, and I

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>think in the rear view mirror, Tom's like, you know what,

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I got a little of both. I lived in New England.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I vacation for a couple of years in Tampa and

0:08:54.920 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it's time. Remarkable guy, remarkable career, More when more news breaks.

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady retiring twenty two remarkable years. The volume
