1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: We're bringing you another compilation of some of my favorite

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: stories from games with names.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: Let's go now Gronk's first impression of Tom Brady.

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 3: What's your favorite Tom memory?

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 4: My favorite Tom memory? Man, I'll always remember the time

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 4: when I first met him in the locker room.

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 5: You brought it up during your speech. He just came

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 5: up to me.

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 4: I was getting my ankle tape by Jimbo, the Great

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 4: Jim Wallen, Great Jim Wallen, Whalen Wallen. It's been a while,

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Jim Man. I just called you Jimbo for so long.

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 4: I'm forgetting your last name a little bit. You got it,

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 4: all right, I got I got it though, And he

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: was taping my ankles and Tom just came cruising by.

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 5: You know. I was just some good old rookie and

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 5: he just walked up to me.

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 4: And he goes, hey, I'm Tom Brady, and I go,

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: very nice to meet you, Tom Brady.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 5: I'm Rob Gronkowski.

20
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 4: And then he's like, let's get after it this year,

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: and then he walked.

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 5: Away, and I just was like shook.

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: I was like, man, Tom Brady just came up to

24
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: me and introduced himself as Tom Brady.

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 5: Like of course, I know who you.

26
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: Are, Tom Brady's but that was just one of the

27
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: coolest moments I would remember, you know, for rest of

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 4: my life. And we just you know, got to work

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 4: from there on out. And he was all business right

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: from the beginning. He really was, Like we said, what

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 4: he puts on his persona, what he shows, that's what

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: he really believes in. And he was all business twenty

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 4: four to seven when he was in that building.

34
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 6: What was your favorite moment too, while we're at it.

35
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: My favorite moments were the ones who are like we'd

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: be throwing routes or some in like he would yell

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: at me or something like. I remember my rookie year,

38
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: we put in a four white personnel group first the

39
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: first day of rookie or the first day of veteran camp,

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: and so it was me, Wes, Joey Galloway, and Randy

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: and we put it in there and I was the

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: why and I did the right thing and end up

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: dropping the ball and he starts just yelling at me,

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: and I like, oh snap. And then as soon as

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: we got in the locker room, he you know, he

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: he came up to me, he goes, hey, you know,

47
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: if I yell at you.

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: That means I like you, And I was like, you know,

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: you must really love me then, bro.

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: You know that was kind of like those those moments

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: where you know he was getting on you. That's the

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: stuff you remember, you like, or you know, the stuff

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: when we'd be training out and throwing on a field

54
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: or something. Those are always the great memories that you'll remember. Yeah,

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: it's the the big plays of that and the other,

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: but I think it's the behind the scenes stuff is

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: that was my favorite.

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: I would have to agree with you, man, if he

59
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: gets on you, he sees potential in you. And that's

60
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 4: why he got on your your ass all the time.

61
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: He got a mile out on a Robbie.

62
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: I didn't really like.

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: Him my rookie year.

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: I mean, he was just getting on my case just NonStop,

65
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: and it was kind of kind of mind fucking me

66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: so much, and I couldn't be myself out there. Sometimes

67
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: I couldn't run the right route because I was just

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: thinking so much, because there was just so much on

69
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: the plate. Aft first I got a coach telling me

70
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: to do this, I got Tom telling me to do this,

71
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: and then finally you just figure it out and it

72
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: all clicks. It took me about halfway through my rookie year,

73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: and then obviously going in my second year, it clicked

74
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: to a whole other level. I mean we went for

75
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: twenty one touchdowns total in cooling the playoffs. But just

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: my rookie year, he was on my case. I remember

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: I ran a flag route and I ran inside the

78
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: guy instead of getting outside of him, and he flipped

79
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: out on me in the meeting after the practice and

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: told me he's never gonna throw me the ball again.

81
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: And like I got buyer and alg Crumpler saw it too,

82
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: and he he just tapped on my die and he

83
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: was like, yop, gronk, don't worry about that.

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: He's just Tom, just being Tom Man. Just don't worry

85
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: about keep doing you.

86
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: And then it kind of like, you know, put a

87
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: fire under your ass though, and that's what Tom was so.

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 5: Great at doing it.

89
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: I didn't really realize that's what he was doing either,

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: Like he was just trying to get the best out

91
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: of you, and it kind of lit a fire, you know,

92
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: under my ass. And then I just wanted to prove

93
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: Tom wrong, like all right, I'm gonna run this flag

94
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: round every time now and You're never gonna throw me

95
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: to the ball, but I'm gonna be open by five

96
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 4: yards and.

97
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: You're gonna look like the idiot now.

98
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: And that happened, and then then he threw me to

99
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: the ball about six hundred more times from there on out.

100
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: So that was also that example is an example of

101
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: why Tom was Tom because he knew what kind of

102
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: guy each guy was. Like, he could challenge Rob, he

103
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: could challenge me because we retaliated to that challenging like

104
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: in a whole nother like.

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: That was the way he got us going.

106
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, other guys he didn't do that with and

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: he would do it in a different way, you know.

108
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: Then that's that's the sign of a good leader, is

109
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: when someone knows what to get out of the guys

110
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: and how to get it out of them.

111
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: And I've seen this before Coach Batocheck and Tom challenging

112
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: wide receivers and they don't and they don't step up

113
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: to the play after the challenge. And let me tell you,

114
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: those wide receivers or tight ends were gone the next week.

115
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 4: So hey, if you don't step up to the challenge,

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: you know you're gone. That's why I love football, That's

117
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: why I love sports because there ain't no politics here, buddy.

118
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: It's either you got it or you don't.

119
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: Swinker sim swim.

120
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Next up, Julian tells Ryan Rossello what he did that

121
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: made Tom Brady very mad.

122
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 7: Early in his career, a couple guys said, don't ever

123
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 7: put your hand up like your Randy Moss for the

124
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 7: entire route. That's a no, no. You got to be

125
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 7: Randy Moss.

126
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: You got to I remember, could.

127
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 7: You ever put your hand up always?

128
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: And I would be but you were pretty good, so

129
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: it'd be more of like, uh, but I remember I

130
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: did it once and Tom.

131
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: I used to do it early in my career. And

132
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: Tom came up and he goes, Julie, I.

133
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Can see you don't put random like he yelled at

134
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: me when I was like a young player about it.

135
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: So I didn't do it until I got older and

136
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I started catching like one hundred balls.

137
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: And doing it again.

138
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: And I would only do it in like the red

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: area when like you get a little scramble and they

140
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: would pee us. You know, if they pee drop, they're

141
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: only rushing three and Brady he'd have time. So I'd

142
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: always put my hand up because you see that red

143
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: glove get that's a touchdown.

144
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 7: I want to touchdown red gloves. What's the maddest he

145
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 7: ever got at you? He never really like I was

146
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 7: fishing for a story.

147
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't got anything. You got along that well,

148
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: that's a great credit to your friendship. I remember my

149
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: first day though with them, or my first my first

150
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: spring practice with the team. They put in four wide

151
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: and you go into rookie camps and your with rookies,

152
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: you know, and then then the bucks get there, and

153
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, then the top dogs get there and like

154
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: your reps go down and stuff, and like you're sitting

155
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: and you're watching fucking Tom Brady execute at a high level,

156
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: throwing fucking beauty for balls.

157
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: Randy Moss and that was crazy.

158
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: But the first day I go in, they put in

159
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: a four y package and I was the y and

160
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I ran this hook route and Tom threw it to

161
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: me and I dropped it, and like he just.

162
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: Says, juice, catch the fucking ball.

163
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: And I was like tailing between my leg thought I

164
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: was getting cut. Like that's that's the one time, like

165
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: we it was just nuts. That's the only time I

166
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: remember him.

167
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 7: Because it still had to be surreal.

168
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: It was still very surreal. I mean, like, yeah, I

169
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: was watching him.

170
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 7: How could it not be.

171
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: I was watching him win Super Bowls in eighth grade

172
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: on the asphalt, saying like, hey, I'm Tom on the

173
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: fucking you know, because he was a Bay Area guy.

174
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: And I never liked Indy when I because I got

175
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the tail end of that whole thing, the Indie pats. Sure,

176
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: but I never liked you know, I never liked Peyton man.

177
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: And he always he was always the guy. He was

178
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: the best guy in college. He was the best guy

179
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: in high school. His dad was a pro, you know

180
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, he was just how he's

181
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: He was the guy, and he was a fucking stud.

182
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: I liked Tom because everyone always at that point, early

183
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowls, people were still saying Peyton was

184
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the best quarterback.

185
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 7: Remember, Yeah, Look, I had a phase even as somebody

186
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 7: who loved Tom, because I just was like, I loved

187
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 7: it the same reasons you.

188
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 5: Brought it up to.

189
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: He's an underdog and he was fucking hungry.

190
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 7: Honestly, Like game towards the end, I started like rooting

191
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 7: for guys I knew, or guys that you know would

192
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 7: come through and work with us in the offseason or something.

193
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 7: It became more personal. But like I started rooting for

194
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 7: like his resume. You know that it wasn't even about

195
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 7: the Pats anymore. It wasn't about being from there. It

196
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 7: was like, I just want the resume to keep going.

197
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 7: And I'll admit that. Yeah, earlier in that window, even

198
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 7: when he got his first one, which was crazy to

199
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 7: me because I mean that was a huge deal, all

200
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 7: of us still kind of loved Bledsoe even though the

201
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 7: writing was on the wall with sort of the evolution

202
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 7: of the whole thing. I remember we had Bledsoe on

203
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 7: the show once and I was like, let's do a

204
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 7: deep dive into this. He was like, all right, cool, whatever,

205
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 7: no problem, just mentioned the winery. He couldn't be a

206
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 7: nicer guy. And my co host that was filling in

207
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 7: that day was from Dallas. He's like, okay, So on

208
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 7: the same lines like when you got benchure Romo and

209
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 7: I was like, oh my god, this is the worst

210
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 7: twelve minutes ever. We're like back to back, like I

211
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 7: get the first one, and this kid was a Cowboys fan,

212
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 7: so he's like, let's do the same topic but different location.

213
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 7: So that's just an aside on Bledsoe. But I was

214
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 7: guilty of the Manning thing because I don't know that

215
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 7: I really you know, football is weird because I think

216
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 7: most of us to talk about have literally no clue.

217
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 7: We don't know what the protection are supposed to be.

218
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 7: We don't know what the covers are supposed to be.

219
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 7: We don't know what the routes are supposed to be,

220
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 7: we don't know what the reads are supposed to be.

221
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 7: Like it's you have to really know, and we're all

222
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 7: watching the wrong angle. And so I'm always a little

223
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 7: admittedly unsure. I'm like, hey, I think this guy's good.

224
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 7: I think this guy might not be, but there also

225
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 7: could be a version of things that I don't quite understand.

226
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 7: And hell if I were a quarterback and just point

227
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 7: to a guy to make this route thing all the

228
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 7: time like Romo used to do, then you're watching on

229
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 7: TV being like that wasn't on Romo. It's like really

230
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 7: smart to do all the time, just like hey, hey, hey,

231
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 7: like the cut symbol with your hand. But when I

232
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 7: was watching tom Early, I'm like, well, he's not as

233
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 7: good as Manning. And then it was like, wait, you

234
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 7: want to see it right? And then every year he'd

235
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 7: come back with a piece like his play action was incredible,

236
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 7: then the pop on his arm, like what he did

237
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 7: to build himself up, and then to turn to this guy.

238
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 7: Then it's like, oh, you want me to do a

239
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 7: Randy Moss season, I'll throw for fifty. You wanted to

240
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 7: be about me and not the defense and special teams

241
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 7: and all this stuff. And it's like he had three

242
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 7: different careers in the same career. Granted, longevity's part of.

243
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: It, but next up thy law and how Tom Brady

244
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: never looked back after taking the Patriots starting job.

245
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Now you saw early Tom, what do you think what's

246
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: the biggest thing he developed or what did you see

247
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: in the later part of his career that he developed

248
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: through his career? What made him special to you?

249
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 8: The willingness one to learn not have that much ego

250
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 8: to where he wasn't that he couldn't, you know, get

251
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 8: frustrated with not getting his opportunity. I respect Tom so

252
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 8: much for when he got that opportunity, he took it

253
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 8: and ran with it and at and you know when

254
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 8: I said on the Dynasty, you know we were going out,

255
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 8: We're doing our little team dinner, and myself Tom Lloyd

256
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 8: malloy going up and he was like, I ain't giving

257
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 8: this shit back.

258
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 7: You know.

259
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 6: That's all you can say is that's you know, that's

260
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 6: the spirit, you know. Hey, But me and Lurid looked

261
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 6: at you.

262
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 8: Like, bullshit, that's a hundred million dollars, and hey, you're

263
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 8: going back to the pine, big buddy. When Drew come back,

264
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 8: I mean, that's just what we thought from the business

265
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 8: side of it. But when he was out there to play,

266
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 8: all we asked him was don't don't blow it, you

267
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 8: know what I mean, don't turn the ball over. He

268
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 8: didn't develop into Tom Brady, the best that we ever

269
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 8: seen in our life.

270
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 6: At that time. He was still a young guy. You know.

271
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 8: We had a run game. Our defense was phenomenal. I

272
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 8: mean you I mean, you're not going to put up

273
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 8: a lot of points on it. We had like the

274
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 8: number one, number two defense in the league, you know

275
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 8: what I mean.

276
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 6: We were like that.

277
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 8: So, I mean he got to, you know, come in easy,

278
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 8: not as much pressure. But when it was time, that's

279
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 8: when you kind of seen that something special about this

280
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 8: kid is when in crunch time as a young buck,

281
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 8: he was cool.

282
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 3: Always, he was always real chilly.

283
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 8: And then you start seeing him take more of a

284
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 8: leadership role, a more vocal role, because he wasn't that vocal,

285
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 8: you know before. I don't think he was that confident

286
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 8: to get up in front of the team. When you

287
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 8: got guys, uh you know, vo guys like a Teddy

288
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 8: Bruce kid, William McGinnis and those guys, they did they

289
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 8: did a lot of the talking, you know what I mean. Lawyer,

290
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 8: you know, he was a big talker. You know, sometime

291
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 8: you got to tell a lawyer to shut the head up, man,

292
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 8: we're trying to go home. But he liked to get

293
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 8: a you know, the end of the speech. I normally

294
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 8: hear this when he see it, but sometime I'd be like, lawyer, man,

295
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 8: would you shut the head up so we can go home?

296
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 8: Long ass day, you know. But Tom eventually became that

297
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 8: person to you know, talk, and he gained everybody's respect.

298
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 6: Man, So you know, much love to the God.

299
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Was there a specific game where you're like, all right,

300
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: we could win with this guy. He's a super Bowl

301
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: caliber quarterback. Now it may not have been that first seed,

302
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: that first super Bowl, but somewhere along in this two

303
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: thousand and three season, I mean, you guys started you

304
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: guys were fourteen to two.

305
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 8: I mean from the time that he won the Super

306
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 8: Bowl and became this big phenomenon, and you know, everything

307
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 8: that had happened and transpired during the season, you've seen

308
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 8: it right there. He came in the next, you know,

309
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 8: season with a different type of confidence, different type. No,

310
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 8: he didn't let the fame get to his head to

311
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 8: where he wasn't willing to put in that work. And

312
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 8: he did that because I'm telling you, I think, I

313
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 8: know we gave him a hard time because we didn't

314
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 8: trust you yet. You know what I mean, you just

315
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 8: you just got here. Yes, you're our teammate, but it's

316
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 8: our job to talk shit every time in practice and

317
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 8: put it throw it back in your face. You know,

318
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 8: we was all talking at all times. He throw that

319
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 8: over here. Sometimes I wouldn't even pick it up. I

320
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 8: just backed the motherfucker. I ain't gonna throw that bullshit.

321
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 8: You know that's a pit. Come on, man, Willie McGinnis

322
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 8: is Addy Rabel. I mean, Rabel was hilarious.

323
00:13:59,360 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 7: Rabel, man.

324
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 5: It is nothing that is.

325
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 8: Off limits, you know when it comes to you know,

326
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 8: Rabel in his answer, whatever he might say, You know

327
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 8: what I mean, As long as they ain't. You know,

328
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 8: it might even be on the borderline personal, you know,

329
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 8: for rape. You know, he might say something about your

330
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 8: mom and your sister. I mean, just anything. But that's

331
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 8: how he motivated, you know what I mean.

332
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: And and like I.

333
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 8: Said, he would just touch that line and back up

334
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 8: off of it, you know what I mean.

335
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 6: Rabel was the guy that passing out the damn drinks

336
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 6: before practice.

337
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 8: Cold as hell. We used to have to drive, said Judie.

338
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 8: You you came in when the when the house was built,

339
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 8: we had to drive the practice. Man were in there,

340
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 8: a bunch of like a little bunch of Pop Warner

341
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 8: kids would show the paths and camels and benzes and

342
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 8: ship going to practice.

343
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 6: You know, everybody got their little Rabel got the flask over.

344
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 5: Everybody go take a swig.

345
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 8: So next thing, you know, everybody keeping something in the car.

346
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 8: So we out there as cold as hell. Cold cold

347
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 8: sounds like you today? Huh oh yeah, that's hey, Mike Rabel,

348
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 8: thanks man, you know you inspired me.

349
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: Now we got Ernie Adams on how the Patriots knew

350
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: Tom Brady would be great.

351
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: You remember the scouting process when you guys were scouting Brady.

352
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 9: You know, really it was. Yeah, the number one thing

353
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 9: you want to see our football player is what does

354
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 9: he do in the games? I mean it's you know,

355
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 9: that is it's kind of a bottom line business. And

356
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 9: when you get somebody who goes in and plays well

357
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 9: in the games, that's what gets your attention. And we had,

358
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 9: you know, one one person you never knew, a great guy,

359
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 9: Dick Raybine was our quarterback coach who unfortunately died during

360
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 9: training camp in two thousand and one. Oh, I mean

361
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 9: got on treadmill and you know, had a had a harder.

362
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: Show and he died.

363
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 9: But you know, you get you know, you look, you

364
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 9: don't try to make it too complicated. If a guy

365
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 9: goes in the game against good competition and play as well,

366
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 9: that is what we're trying to do. It's not about

367
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 9: you know, the combine stuff, which is important, but you know,

368
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 9: it's really what does the guy do when he gets

369
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 9: on the field against a good competition and so you

370
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,239
Speaker 9: get great, Hey, have a great bowl game against Alabama.

371
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, and play well when you're in there.

372
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,119
Speaker 9: There's a lot of things as a player you can't control,

373
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 9: but what you can control is what you actually do

374
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 9: when you get out on the field.

375
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: He always to talk about that. When did you know

376
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: he was a killer?

377
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 9: You know, when I first Tom's rookie year in two thousand,

378
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 9: he was like he was with a third string quarterback

379
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 9: and he was not going to get in the game.

380
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, unless you say, look, if you

381
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 9: have two guys get injured in the same game, he

382
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 9: can get in.

383
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: But it wasn't going to happen.

384
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 9: And after practice he would go he would go grab

385
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 9: our young rookie tight end Chris Heisman and take him

386
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 9: over on the side and make Chris run patterns for him.

387
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 9: But it wasn't just running patterns. Tom wanted to call

388
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 9: the play. It's third and six, all right, heights, this

389
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 9: is the player we're gonna run, call it out. You know,

390
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 9: just Tom wanted to put himself through the situation. Here's

391
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 9: here's the way I'm gonna call the play in this situation.

392
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 9: It's not just let's just go, you know, go run around,

393
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 9: play catch. You know, as you're thinking a game, thinking situations,

394
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 9: and you know, and I always figured if a player

395
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 9: is gonna stay out light after press, somebody should you know,

396
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 9: honor him by going over and watching.

397
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 5: I'm just standing watching this guy.

398
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 9: This guy, he's really trying to get ready to play,

399
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 9: even though he has no chance of playing this week.

400
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 9: And of course Tom's the guy, you know if he

401
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 9: wanted to get in the right stance. How do you

402
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 9: get in the right stands? You practice it in front

403
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 9: of the mirror.

404
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 6: You just do.

405
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 9: You know, being obsessive compulsive can get you in trouble sometimes,

406
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 9: but you can also lead to great results. And that's

407
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 9: the way I kind of look at that. You know,

408
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 9: Tom is the ultimate obsessive compulsive, you know, among players,

409
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 9: because he's not you know, Tom Brady didn't just drop

410
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 9: out of the sky a Hall of Fame quarterback. He

411
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 9: made himself into a Hall of Fame quarterback. And when

412
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 9: people would tell me at the drafty work I work

413
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 9: hard as Brady, you're for shit. You have no idea

414
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 9: what you're talking about.

415
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: And that's the correct I mean, I got there.

416
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: He already had three Super Bowls and he was still

417
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: flying in a coach week eleven to work on his

418
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: little fundamentals after a practice.

419
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: Hey, but you know what if that was when he

420
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 3: was a four. You know that that's what people don't see.

421
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 9: They don't see they don't understand. And that was kind

422
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 9: of like when I was talking about being impressed with

423
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 9: Peyton Manning warming up before the game. When it's football now,

424
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 9: I mean it's dead ass serious hundred every time. Yeah,

425
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 9: there's no you don't take any plays off in practice.

426
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 9: He never did, never did. And you know what he

427
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 9: would if if you ran around first time? He told jee,

428
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 9: we really want to do it this way, and then

429
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 9: he expects you to get it right that second time. Hey,

430
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 9: if you might not quite understand the first time, that's

431
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 9: not a problem. Screwing up after we explained it to you,

432
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 9: that's a problem.

433
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: Make a mistake. He just can't make the same mistake

434
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: twice right. And with him, you know, I was a

435
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: punching bag for him because the more success that we had,

436
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: he could never really get on guys as hard as

437
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to, because they, you know, they've been watching

438
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: him since before they were born.

439
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: Next week got Grink talking about Brady's insane ability to

440
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: exploit mismatches.

441
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: Tom throws the mismatch.

442
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, whenever there's a mismatch, Tom throws it to the

443
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 4: mismatch every single time, basically ninety nine percent of the time.

444
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: He's throwing to the mismatch, and he's not looking at

445
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: anyone else on the field.

446
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 5: When he sees that mismatch.

447
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 4: Even if Julian you were wide open by twenty yards

448
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 4: or whatever, it doesn't matter. He wasn't looking at you

449
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 4: because you weren't the mismatch at that moment. I was

450
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 4: a mismatch there. He considered that mismatch because there was a.

451
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: Linebacker on me.

452
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 4: It didn't matter what linebacker. kJ Wright great player, but

453
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: he didn't care. Tom didn't care whenever he saw a

454
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 4: linebacker on me. He always told me, I don't care

455
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 4: what linebacker is on you, Gronk, I'm gonna throw you

456
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: to because that's a mismatch. You're faster than linebackers and

457
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: you're more athletic than linebacker.

458
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 5: So right when I went out there, I knew that

459
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 5: ball was coming to me. Man.

460
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: And it's also another thing where like you know, I

461
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: think we were in the fringe. We we were on

462
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: like the thirty six were the thirties?

463
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 6: What was it?

464
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 5: How big of a was that twenty eight yarder?

465
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: Was twenty two yard twenty three yarder?

466
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: So you're right there, you're about to hit that red

467
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: area and anytime you see a defender like a linebacker

468
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: five yards off on Rob, it's automatically a mismatch because

469
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: what people don't realize, Rob was faster than every linebacker,

470
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: and he could accelerate so instantaneously. When once that ball

471
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: is snapped and you see that linebacker as a quarterback

472
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: doesn't give any ground and Gronks going full speed, that's

473
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: a layup, you know what I mean, because he's got

474
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: to flip his hips. Gronks going full speed. Gronk's big

475
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: enough to play through contact even if the guy tries

476
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: to grab him.

477
00:20:59,080 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 6: Like.

478
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: That's why it's such a mismatch. That's why we wh

479
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: only saw that look one time. We saw that look

480
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: once and then they stopped doing it because it was

481
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: a twenty two yard touchdown.

482
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 4: Yes, and like you said, I knew I already had

483
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: the advantage as well. I think he would have been

484
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 4: better off playing me up press up press coverage, because

485
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: that's where we're kind of even. I mean I didn't

486
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 4: have I had acceleration, but I didn't have acceleration, you know,

487
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 4: like an insane celeration where I would just absolutely burn

488
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 4: by a linebacker.

489
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 5: But once I got going and I was in my stride,

490
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 5: you couldn't stop me. Then that's when I was lethal.

491
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: And then then when he was about I think he

492
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: was like eight yards off of me, I knew I

493
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: could get in that stride, get on his toes, make

494
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: a little move at the top when I got on

495
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: his toes, and then boom went right around him for

496
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 4: the fade route, and Tom threw a nice ball to

497
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: right on the money man, right on the money.

498
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: Even if they pressed though, that's bullshit. You were quicker

499
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 3: than Yeah, you're right.

500
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 5: I was just being humble Jewels.

501
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: Next up, Steven Ridley. On that time Tom Brady took

502
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: him to a secret jay Z and justin Timberlake concert.

503
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 10: I'm following Tom wherever he goes, and y'all, it was

504
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 10: almost like a movie. You know, this figure walks out

505
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 10: and it's like there's nobody in Boston, not really many

506
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 10: people in America that are bigger than Tom Brady. And

507
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 10: I'm like, who am I really seeing what I'm seeing?

508
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 6: You know who it was?

509
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 9: Who? Oh?

510
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: Bro jay Z? I met jay Z for the first

511
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 6: time with Tom Brady.

512
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 9: Dog.

513
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: That's Tom's story.

514
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 10: You have twelve man. First day, very first day I

515
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 10: got there, coming out of LSU. We believe it's stepping

516
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 10: in there and trying to go in and make a difference.

517
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 10: Wheen't scared of the line up trying to do it.

518
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 10: So I got in there and got behind twelve for

519
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 10: the first time, and Tom turned around and looked at me,

520
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 10: look forward to get and look back. Now really get

521
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 10: out here, keV come on and he sat me down

522
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 10: before even handing me the first ball, told Keiv Faulk,

523
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 10: come on in here and take the first LSU running

524
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 10: back real LSU back, a goat a legend. Got to

525
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 10: give it to him, but he he did. He kind

526
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 10: of humbled me on that very first day.

527
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: Did he talk to you about that afterwards or anything?

528
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 7: Uh?

529
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: Did he call you after he got drafted the Patriots LSU?

530
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: Or is there like a coolness with keV?

531
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

532
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 6: For sure, for sure.

533
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 10: keV hit me up, let me know that Jarvis Green

534
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 10: had left there and so the LSU guys kind of

535
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 10: welcomed me in when I when I got that call,

536
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 10: So that would be a good story.

537
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 6: But I got a better I got a better twelve store.

538
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 10: It's off the field, and uh, because Tom never went out,

539
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 10: kind of never did much and I remember the first

540
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 10: time Tom ever invited me to his crib.

541
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 6: I gotta say that.

542
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 10: I don't know what year it was, but we had

543
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 10: done practice or something, and Tom was like, red rid dog,

544
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 10: red dog, come here, and I ran over there. I'm like,

545
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 10: what's up?

546
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 9: Bro?

547
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 6: He's like, look, I want you to come with me.

548
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 6: And I'm like what caught you?

549
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: Where?

550
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 7: Like?

551
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 5: Where?

552
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 6: When? Where I need to be?

553
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 10: So he was like, meet me in Boston. Gave me

554
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 10: an address. I didn't even know where I was going,

555
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 10: didn't matter. I was going with twelve, you know, quarterback.

556
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 10: Invite me out. So I hauled ass up up up

557
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 10: the highway. Was that ninety five leave because everybody thinks

558
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 10: Patriots Boston, No, the Patriots in Foxborough. That's a freaking

559
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 10: our ride from Foxboro forty five minutes from First Row

560
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 10: to Boston. But Tom gave me his address, and I

561
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 10: remember texting Mom and Dad. I'm like, man, Tom just

562
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 10: invited me to come over here to go meet it.

563
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 10: I didn't know where I was going. I didn't care,

564
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 10: so I went on up and drive the boss. I

565
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 10: don't know if he even remembers this, but I was like,

566
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 10: got to his house. He showed me around the crib.

567
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 10: I'm like, where are we going? Bro, Like, what's the

568
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 10: what's the move? He was like, man, just just come

569
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 10: on a ride with me. So I hopped in the

570
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 10: back of the car and we pull into We leave

571
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 10: his house, go downtown. Tom's the man, rides through traffics everywhere.

572
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 10: I'm thinking, it's like a Red Sox game or something

573
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 10: like that. And as we pull up there, Tom literally

574
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 10: pulls up and cracks his window like this much and

575
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 10: didn't even have to say much. The kind of knew

576
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 10: who he was and like let us ride on through.

577
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 10: And then we parked across the street from the stadium

578
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 10: and I'm like, the stadium's packed out, and I'm like,

579
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 10: that's not a baseball game going on?

580
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 6: What is the deal?

581
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 10: We go in there and park and we walked back

582
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 10: across the street to the stadium. When we walk in there,

583
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 10: it was a concert, So bring you back to this

584
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 10: time and this day in time. Walk in and we

585
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 10: go behind stage. Justin Timberlake is walking onto the stage.

586
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 10: So I don't know if y'all remember Holy Grill. Okay,

587
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 10: so they were performing in Fenway. Part of course, Tom

588
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 10: has the plug and he's inviting me in there. I'm like, bro,

589
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 10: I'm the man, you know what I mean?

590
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 6: Like Tom invited their running back up there, arling with

591
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 6: QB one like we're twelve.

592
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 10: We're going to the stadium and get in there and

593
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 10: he hollers at JT O JT da da and they're

594
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 10: like homies. I'm like, oh, how tight is that? The

595
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 10: story gets better from there, we go and watch JT

596
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 10: go on. I think we might have watched like one

597
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 10: song or something like that performer, maybe it hadn't even started.

598
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 10: And we walked back across to where his car was.

599
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 10: So when we walked back across to where his car was,

600
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 10: I walk in there and I'm following Tom wherever he goes,

601
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 10: and y'all it was almost like a movie. You know,

602
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 10: this figure walks out and it's like there's nobody in Boston,

603
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 10: not really many people in America that are bigger than

604
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 10: Tom Brady. And I'm like, who am I really seeing

605
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 10: what I'm seeing?

606
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 6: You know who it was?

607
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 5: Who? Oh?

608
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 6: Bro? Jay Z.

609
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 10: I met jay Z for the first time with Tom

610
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 10: Brady dog and I realized how tight they really were.

611
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 6: So when I walk up there, I'm shot.

612
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 10: I'm like, bro, pick your jaw up, act like you've

613
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 10: been somewhere before, you know what I mean, Like, get

614
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 10: your shit together.

615
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 6: You know, I got at least be cool a little bit.

616
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 6: But I'm like, whoa man?

617
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 10: Jay Z had on these gold chains, bro, I'm talking

618
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 10: about stacked up almost touching his ear. And he comes

619
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 10: in there and he DAPs off Tom and he was like,

620
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 10: and he called me rid, I want to say, calm ready,

621
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 10: say Rick, can I pick you up in fantasy this year?

622
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 10: And before I could even say anything, I remember this

623
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 10: time touched me and he don't even know. He's like,

624
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 10: you're damn right, you could pick him up a fantasy

625
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 10: this shit. And I'm like, oh, I made it.

626
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 6: I made it. I freaking made it.

627
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 10: But I'm in here with freaking Tom and jay Z

628
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 10: and they're performing the Holy Grail at the concert, and

629
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 10: of course twelve got backstay passing and just rolls in

630
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 10: this thing like he's on in the stadium, which he did,

631
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 10: and it was like one of those moments that I

632
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 10: could say with twelve on the field, we have countless

633
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 10: moments in my four years there that I could talk about,

634
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 10: but that was one of those times off the field

635
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 10: that I was like, it was super dope to just

636
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 10: see because I figured out.

637
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,440

638
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 10: I want to say, what Chapaul was there too? KD

639
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 10: was there maybe Kevin Durant maybe, and so I think

640
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 10: he was there too. But it was like one of

641
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 10: those times that was just like if you knew or

642
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 10: you had that in you were there. And I definitely

643
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 10: didn't have that end. I was just rolling with the man.

644
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 10: So that was a cool last story. That twelve kind

645
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 10: of let me know that I was kind of handling
