1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, it is a meat Friday in more 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: ways than one. Welcome to the program. Already in progress. 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Final hour coming out. We'll talk to the man who 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: wrote the book on the Patriots, literally, Seth Wickersham got 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: a new book out talking about some of the spicy 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: details behind the scenes with Brady and Belichick. By the way, 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: don't be angry if the Patriots in the Buccaneers game 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: is not a good game. It's a great story. Nobody's saying, boy, 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: this is going to be one of the all time 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: great games. I mean, this is Super Bowl champs versus 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. Tampa Bay is a seven point favorite. 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: I think we think this is going to be a slug, 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: fast down to the wire, last second field goal or 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: last second drive games on the line. Tom's leading it down. 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Belichick devises some defensive scheme. It may not go as scripted, 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: just saying it could be one sided, maybe nineteen to 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: seventeen kind of final. Last night, Cincinnati Bengals got a win, 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: not impressive, but got to win. They're now three and 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: one and Urban Meyers yet to win a game in 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. And had this to say afterwards, that was devastated, heartbreaking. 22 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: Usually I'm not wrong about stuff like that that. I 23 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: just see a good team in there. I see good guys, 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: good hearts, I see guys at work. And I told 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: him I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong about that stuff, 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: and the team's gonna win some games. Jacksonville is the 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: fifth team in NFL history to lose nineteen consecutive games, 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: tying the seven through nine Detroit Lions for the second 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: longest losing streak in the Super Bowl era. The Oakland 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: Raiders have the records, set back in nineteen sixty one 31 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: sixty two. The Raider is losing nineteen consecutive games. Now, 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the longest losing streak in 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era at twenty six games, so consecutive 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: games for the Jacksonville Jaguars, wasn't that long ago that 35 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: they were on the verge of upsetting the New England 36 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: Patriots and going to the Super Bowl. Boy, that seems 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: like a long long time ago. Ticket prices for the Patriots. 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: You know, this is Tom Brady's last time in New 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: England unless he plays till he's fifty. You figured that 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: this will be the last time, so trying to get 41 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: seats and what they're going for. You know, you're seeing 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: anywhere from seven thousand dollars per seats for a great 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: location there. But once again just caution you that it 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: might not turn out to be a great game. Great storylines, 45 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: interesting atmosphere there, but that doesn't mean this will be 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: a competitive game. Yeah, McLevin, I was going to pitch 47 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: a pole question. Would the Patriots be good right now 48 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: if Tom Brady was their quarterback or would they be 49 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: contend I'm gonna say yes, because it just feels like 50 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: there are times when you go, how's he doing it 51 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: with that offense? Now? He was always it felt like 52 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: they always had a good defense. They had an opportunistic defense. 53 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: We never thought that he had a lot of great 54 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: offensive weapons except for when he had Ronk at his 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: peak and Aaron Hernandez. But he made use of Kevin 56 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Falk and James White, Troy Brown. There were just times 57 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: where you go, I don't know how he's doing it, 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: but he's doing it. I would think that Brady would 59 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: make them a contender, maybe not a serious contender, but 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: that they would still be a contender.

That's eight point two five million, 76 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: whether or not the Sixers issue the check on day 77 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: five of Ben Simmons holdout, a source telling mark Stein, 78 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: Simmons camp believes it will ultimately get the money either 79 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: way after a trade or separate resolution. In case you 80 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: missed this yesterday, Joe LMB took some big shots at 81 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: his teammate Ben Simmons. Simmons doesn't want to play in 82 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: filling he's not reporting to training camp. And now you've 83 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: got some drama. This is the norm for an NBA 84 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: star who wants to switch teams. We've seen this before 85 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: and it makes you think there's got to be an 86 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: easier way every time there's a bad fit. Do we 87 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: really need to play it out like something like a 88 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: Shakespeare play? Ben simmons saga has a Hamlet field to it, 89 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, to dunk or not to dunk? That's the question. 90 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: In the playoffs he went with not to dunk. And 91 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: that's why we're here. Lebron Is king Lear, who can 92 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: forget the play Othello about No, it's not a to 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Othello Harrington by the way, a Romeo Langford and Juliet. 94 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: All right, maybe the NBA drama isn't that nerdy, but 95 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: it's certainly over the top. And this is right there 96 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: with battle lines are drawn with Ben Simmons, his camp 97 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: and the seventy sixers, but also the commissioner and the 98 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: NBA Players Association going to get involved in this because 99 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: seventy six ers, why are you going to pay him 100 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: if he doesn't want to play there? How about and 101 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: you just sit out now you can. They can find 102 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: him and it might be one thousand, one hundred thousand 103 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: dollars a day. Well what's he going to make with 104 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: all of that money? He's do forty million dollars and 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: he might go, yeah, go ahead and find me all 106 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: you want, but I want out of here. And Joe 107 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: Ellenbiad said something that I thought was really interesting that 108 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: you know, basically Ben Simmons is being selfish, and to 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: a degree, is like Ben played poorly. Like what happened 110 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: first that your teammates turned on you or the fans 111 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: turned on you? You played poorly. He put himself in 112 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: this position. And if I'm arguing this on behalf of 113 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: the seventy six ers, I'm going to go he put 114 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: himself in a position by playing poorly. Now doesn't want 115 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: to play here because of the reaction. Okay, if he 116 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: plays well, there's no drama here, there's no issue. They 117 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: would love him. He played poorly, Now you want them 118 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: to pay you because you paid poorly and you want 119 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: out your feelings are hurt. Instead of I'm going to 120 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: come back and I'm to show everybody I can be 121 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: an elite player. I can be a good shooter. I 122 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: can go to the free throw line. You know, I 123 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: look at Jannis. Yannis can't shoot. He can't, but he's 124 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: not afraid. And that's the difference. Yannis is not afraid 125 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: to fail. And that might be I don't make three 126 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: pointers or I don't do well at the free throw line, 127 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: but I keep bringing it to you. Ben doesn't. That's 128 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: the biggest difference. Now. Is Jannis a better player than Ben? Yes, 129 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: but I'm not afraid to fail. Jannis shoots free throws 130 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: where you go, oh my god, how's that possible? But 131 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 1: he's working to get better. He wants to get better, 132 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: and he's not afraid. Ben's afraid. Ben doesn't want to 133 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: be embarrassed. You know. It's like having kids, and I 134 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: have two three kids who were Ben's age in that ballpark. 135 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, the sensitivity level. Sometimes it's like, where's this 136 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 1: come from? But that's the generation. You know, Yanna's coming 137 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: from another country to the United States, and maybe he's 138 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: just wired differently, like how he grew up, what he 139 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: had to get through to get to this point, and 140 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: he's just not afraid and I admire that so much 141 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: about him when I watch him, and you know, when 142 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: you're watching, you go, I'm a better shooter than his 143 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: but he's not afraid. Take it to the hoop, go 144 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: to the line. I don't want him taken threes. And 145 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: I did suggest once they got to the NBA Finals, 146 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: you put him down on the blocks because he's a 147 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: more athletic Kevin McHale, who's in the top five to 148 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: me low post moves guy that I ever saw in 149 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: the NBA. You can't guard him down there, and he dominated. 150 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: But Ben Simmons has to get over this fear of failure. 151 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Same thing with Lonzo Ball. And I think Lonzo is 152 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: actually making steps to being a quality outside shooter, but 153 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: he also is going to another team here and maybe 154 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: that happens with Ben. Ben wants the offense build around him. 155 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: I would say, Ben, show me why I should build 156 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the offense around you. Do you think you'll make your 157 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: free throws when you're out of Philadelphia? Is there something 158 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: about the backdrop there? Depth perception is the rim ten 159 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: and a half feet like, come on, help me out here. 160 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: And it doesn't feel like he's getting better. It feels 161 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: like he's taking a step back. And do I think 162 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: he's going to be in Philadelphia? No? I didn't think that. 163 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: After that game, I'm like, he can't stay here because 164 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: those Philadelphia fans are not going to be Saint Louis 165 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: Cardinal fans. We're all right, Ben, come on, let's go. 166 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: We're with you. Yeah, Seton. Does Mark hel Foults play 167 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: into this at all? Well, Mark el Folds had the yips? 168 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: Is that different than he and he had you know, 169 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: surgery and it's his shoulders. So I think that was 170 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: just a breakdown of him physically, Ben, it's mental, Like 171 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: Mark cal Folds has played okay in Orlando. But and 172 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: that's where how I got there that you know, he 173 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: left and was able to figure it out. He was 174 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: able to get a shot back, he was able to 175 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: get his confidence back. I think I think he became 176 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: healthy or healthier, but he didn't demand a trade, and 177 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: he was at least trying to work that out. Ben, 178 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to see an LA fitness video. I 179 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: don't need to see you in a pickup, kay, I don't. 180 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't need to see any of that. Growing up, 181 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: I never saw anybody's offseason workouts. I never once went 182 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: I wonder what Larry Bird's doing today, I wonder what 183 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: Michael's doing today. I know that they wanted to do 184 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: it every single night in the season, and they weren't afraid. 185 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: None of those guys were afraid. You can't play that 186 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: game nervous, afraid, trepidation. And you know, Ben, Ben needs 187 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: to grow up, take matters into your own hands. Attack this, 188 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: not run away from it. Hey, I don't like this. 189 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: I want to get out of here. Okay, what happens 190 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: when it doesn't go well in the next place? Do 191 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: you then go, hey, these people are being mean here. 192 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: I want out of here. Is he talented? Yes? Would 193 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: I want to take a shot at him if if 194 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm san Antonio, I would love to see him. Maybe 195 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: go to san Antonio right, quieter city, They're non threatening 196 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: media coverage nowhere near what it is in Philadelphia. And 197 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: then you could say to Ben, come on in. Greg 198 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: Popovitch doesn't like the three, so you don't have to 199 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: worry about shooting threes, and you just let him kind 200 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: of find his place there. See if you know he 201 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: can build his confidence. I mean, he's twenty five, feels 202 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: like you know, he's been around longer than that. But 203 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: but he's twenty five, and I would have to give 204 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: him that opportunity to find yourself. You know. I do 205 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: this with my children. You're like at a certain age, 206 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: like what do you want to do? Who are you? 207 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: And my kids can't shoot threes either, by the way, 208 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. And they're a little better at the 209 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: free throw line than Ben. Yeah, pulling. When Ben Simmons 210 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: was twenty one, he was averaging sixteen eight and eight. 211 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: It looked great. He wasn't shooting a lot, he wasn't 212 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: shooting for the outside, and he's actually gone down a 213 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: little bit every single category. Three years later, when Jannis 214 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: was twenty one, he was averaging sixteen seven and five. 215 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: Three years later he's averaging thirty fourteen and six. Yea 216 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: and back to back MVPs. Limerick greeting cards go to 217 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com.

We'll talk about the Patriots with Brady 226 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: and Belichick, the new book that is out. Josh and 227 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota leads us off this hour. Hi Josh, Hey Dan, 228 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: first time, long time, six feet five. I was calling 229 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: in to say, I think the best place for Shoeotani 230 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: to land would actually be with the Colorado Rockies. And 231 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: I think that for two reasons. For one, because half 232 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: of his games he's going to be hitting in Cooper's Field, 233 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: one of the most hit or friendly parks in the league. 234 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: But then you look at the rest of the Rockies schedule, 235 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: they're playing in historically pitcher friendly stadiums such as San 236 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: Francisco and it's the Padres, And so I think, just 237 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: looking at him being such a two way player, just 238 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: knowing that, I think that would be a good place 239 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: for him the land and really, uh just enhance both 240 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: of his skills. So thanks for taking the time. Rest 241 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: of your day. Thank you, johnsh I don't know how 242 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: he's wired. I think he wanted to land in a 243 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: media friendly city. Um, the Yankees realized that they were 244 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: not going to be involved in the pursuit. I think 245 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: he ruled out the you know, a bigger market there 246 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: as far as New York City. Yeah, that might be 247 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: the dumbest call we've gotten an entire How is it? 248 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: How can you say show Hia Tani should go to Colorado? 249 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: He's like, because it would help him as a slugger. 250 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: He's a one slugger in a hundred years who has 251 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: to worry about not playing in a picture in a 252 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: bad picture park. Of course, he doesn't want to go 253 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: to Colorado, right, Like, if you're going to have him 254 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: as a picture, yes, which you I think you are. 255 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: I think that was his point, Like that's exact opposite place, 256 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: all right, Josh, that was I mean, that was kind 257 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: of rough, dude saying that about John. No, Actually he 258 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: made a good point. But like, you don't want to 259 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: go to Colorado. You want to go to the exact 260 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: medium stadium where you can hit home runs. You don't know, Okay, 261 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I'd rather go to a pitchers ballpark 262 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: if I'm Shoeotani, because I hit the ball so damn 263 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: far what does it matter? Like, Oh my gosh, that 264 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: barely got over the wall. Good thing he's in. I mean, 265 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: I want to go to something that if I pitch, 266 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep it in the ballpark and when 267 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: I do hit, it doesn't matter which ballpark I'm in. 268 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: How about that? I'll hang up and listen. Yes, Paul, 269 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: what have you pitched for the Dodgers and batted for 270 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: the Angels? Played for ball teach? That'd be great for 271 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: his brand, I mean, really expanded the fan base. Dodgers 272 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: would sign up for that. They pay him twenty five mill. 273 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: He'll throw that out there, no problem, Brandy and Iowa. 274 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: Brandy's back, Brandy, what's on your mind?

Just call him 284 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: to see who's going to match the Streaks, because the 285 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: Lion's going to keep pace with the Jags and they 286 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: matched the year And then before I go, I've been 287 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: watching on teacock and I don't know what it is 288 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: about today.

Seth, 332 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What was the toughest story in 333 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: all of this? To crack oh Man, that's a great question. 334 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I think that the toughest story, 335 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: and this made sound a little bit more thematic than specific, 336 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: but it's trying to get inside how Bill Belichick and 337 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady work on a day to day basis and 338 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: try to diagnose and understand the key ingredients that have 339 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: led to their greatness and this unprecedented run that they 340 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: had together, and then also look at some of the 341 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: costs of that greatness. I think that those were the 342 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: things that I was trying to pursue as diligently as 343 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: I possibly could easier to get information on Brady or Belichick. 344 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I'd say it's a it's about 345 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: the same. I mean, I wouldn't say it's easy. But 346 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: you know, again, I've been doing this for twenty years now. 347 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: I've written many stories about Tom Brady. I've been at 348 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: his house, I've been at a Super Bowl party. I've 349 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: had many conversations with Bill Belichick. I know the people 350 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: around them, I know the coaches on the staff, and 351 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: so I just felt like that I could pursue this 352 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: project with a lot of confidence and hopefully tell a 353 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: story that fans like, what's the one that you the 354 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: story that you found out more information than previously believed 355 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: or reported. Oh man, I mean there's a lot of 356 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: those things. You know, you can go back to, you know, 357 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's days at Michigan and the night that he 358 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: was going to leave, and what his therapist and counselor 359 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: told him. You know, the tension of twenty seventeen, which 360 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I obviously wrote a lot about the time, and you know, 361 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: just learning a little bit more about you know, where 362 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: that came from, how bad things got, you know, how 363 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: Brady said, I don't want to play for Bill anymore, 364 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: and you know how close it came to coming to 365 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: an end there. And you know, the part of the 366 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: book in a weird way, that I like the best, 367 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: or that I kind of enjoyed the most was the 368 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: middle part, the ten years that they didn't win a 369 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: championship because they were achieving at such a high level 370 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: and they were in such a cultural and you know, 371 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: sports plateau, but they needed to figure out how to 372 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: get the last percentage of a percentage better so that 373 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: they could you go over the hump and finally win 374 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: more Super Bowls rather than narrowly losing them to the 375 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: New York Giants. And you've said that you didn't interview 376 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: Brady or Belichick for this book, but you have interviewed 377 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: them down through the years. I give you one question 378 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: for both of them. Let me start with Belichick. The 379 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: one question you would ask for this book would have 380 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: been one I think I would have asked, if it's 381 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: all worth it. I think that he's become the greatest 382 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: coach in modern football history, and the casualty of his 383 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: greatness has been a lot of relationships. You know, you 384 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: can talk about his relationship with Eric Mangini and how 385 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: that fell apart when Eric left an I detail a 386 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: near fistfight at the league meetings between the two of them. 387 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of players over the years who 388 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: obviously have come out of New England with a really 389 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: bad taste in their mouth. And then obviously there's Tom Brady, 390 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: and I think that while there's a lot of love 391 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: between Brady and Belichick, I think that there's a lot 392 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: of acrimony, especially on the Brady side, the way that 393 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: the past couple of years, you know, unfolded, And you know, 394 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: that's what I would be curious how he would answer, is, 395 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, if those relationships are some of the costs 396 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: of his greatness, how does he feel about it? And 397 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: was it all worth it? What would be the question 398 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: you would ask Brady? You know, I've thought about this 399 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: a lot, but I actually did ask it to him 400 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and I asked him how 401 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: long he wanted to live? Because if you look at 402 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: the way that he's going to be involved in celebrity now, 403 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: he's become this this kind of figure that he's almost 404 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: a member of, like the global elite, for whom you know, 405 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: human longevity is human destiny. And so I did ask 406 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: him at one point, like how long do you want 407 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: to live? And he had a really thoughtful and and 408 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, reasonable answer. He said, you know, it's not 409 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: necessarily about how long I want to live, even though 410 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: he wrote an entire book about reversing the aging process. 411 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: In his words, it was the quality of life and 412 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: the fact that he wanted to go skiing and surf 413 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: and do these things after football, and he was trying 414 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: to have it all. And we'll see if he can 415 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: have it all. Yeah, but if I ask you, how 416 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: long do you want to live? Seth, what are you 417 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: gonna say? Well, I didn't write an entire book about 418 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: reversing I know, but if I'm Tom, it's like, I 419 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: want quality of life. However long I live, I want 420 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: quality of life. I've always been fascinated with a couple 421 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: of stories. Was there a power struggle on keeping Jimmy 422 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: Garoppolo keeping Tom? Who had the finals? Say? Did Brady 423 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: go to Craft and say it's me or him? Belichick 424 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: hand delivered Jimmy Garoppolo to Kyle Shanahan, making sure he 425 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: didn't go to the Cleveland Browns. Help me understand all 426 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: of that? Illuminate me on you know, what is fact, 427 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: what's fiction? It takes a little bit of time, but 428 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: I wrote about this a lot of the time. Look 429 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 1: after they beat the Falcons and they had won their 430 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: fifth Super Bowl, the dynamics in the building just changed, 431 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: and I think that, you know, Tom Brady started to 432 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: vinch into other things, his TV twelve business. He put 433 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: out the book he did time versus time. He wanted 434 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: to be treated a little bit differently. And in the 435 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: middle of it all, you had Alex Guerrero in this 436 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: business that they were both trying to build together, and 437 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: the fact that the things that they were saying were 438 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: often at odds with what the Patriots doctors were saying, 439 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: and so it was becoming this divisive force in the 440 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: locker room. Belichick curtailed his access. I mean, think about 441 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now. They give Alex Guerrero 442 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: an office and they gave him a Super Bowl ring. 443 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: Bill curtailed his access back then. And in the middle 444 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: of it all, you had Jimmy Garoppolo and the fact 445 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: that Belichick has a lot of pride and he always 446 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: wanted to walk away from the Patriots with them set 447 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: up long term at quarterback, and he was deeply invested 448 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: in Jimmy. At one point when Jimmy played, he said, 449 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, the transition between Brady and Jimmy is really seamless, 450 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: seamless on offense, and things were there was just a 451 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: lot of things coming to a head, and so finally 452 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy got shipped. It was obvious that Crafts yalties were 453 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: to Brady, and then that offseason they lose to the 454 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and Brady skips the entire offseason program, and 455 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: so much reporting has come out about how he really 456 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: didn't know if he wanted to return to the team, 457 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: and in fact kind of wanted to be released. Okay, 458 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: but did he go to Craft and say it's either 459 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: me or Garoppolo, Well, that I don't know. But Kraft 460 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: Tom Brady didn't get Jimmy Garoppolo traded. I think that 461 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: it was so obvious that Kraft had stated publicly and 462 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: privately that Brady had earned the right to walk away 463 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: in his own terms. And even if Bill was invested 464 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: in Jimmy, Tom was making it very hard for him 465 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: to get on the field. They shared an agent, don Ye. 466 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: There was just a lot of things that were closing 467 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: in and Bill was kind of backed into a corner, 468 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: and so yes, he calls up Kyle Shanahan. I think 469 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: it was on Halloween morning, maybe it was the night 470 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: the day before and offers Jimmy straight up for a 471 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: second round pick. Belichick has since come out and said 472 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: when he's the book has been mentioned that you know, 473 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: second third, fourth hand news, it feels like information maybe 474 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: coming from Brady's side more than Belichick's side. That probably 475 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: doesn't take long to go through the rolodecks of Belichick 476 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: and who he trust and who would have information here? 477 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: Is that a fair assessment on how I'm reading who's 478 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: saying what to whom and when and why? It's a 479 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: fair assessment of well, I think what came out in 480 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: the news story, but most of the book is not 481 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: that way. I mean, ninety five percent of the people 482 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: that I talked to you for the book are on 483 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: the record and their primary sources, and the few that 484 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: I needed to grant anonymity to are the people who 485 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: had first hand knowledge of key meetings or dialogue that 486 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: was said. And so I think with the newser it 487 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: definitely some of the news that came out definitely came 488 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: out that way, But you know, specifically with the main 489 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: anecdote from the news story about Tom Brady and at 490 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: Robert Craft's house and telling Robert Craft He's not going 491 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: to resign with the team. He wanted to go tell 492 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: Bill in person, and Bill was unavailable, And you know, 493 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: he told a confidant, a very close friend, he thought 494 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: that was telling of the state of their relationship. You know, 495 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: Brady didn't deny that yesterday. I mean, Tom is forty 496 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: four years old and he's good. He figured out a 497 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: way to thread that needle where he didn't deny it, 498 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: and he didn't really give anything away either. And you know, 499 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: like I said, I did the best I could to 500 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: try to show this relationship, show their greatness, and show 501 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: the cost of their greatness. We're talking to Seth Wickersham, 502 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: ESPN Senior writer author. The book is available nationally on Tuesday. 503 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: It's Better to Be Feared than New England Patriots, Dynasty 504 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: and the Pursuit of Greatness. I've mentioned this story to 505 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: my audience a couple of times when I interviewed Brady 506 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: prior to the Super Bowl with the Eagles, and towards 507 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: the end, I said, do you think you and Bill 508 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: will ever get together and reminisce and Brady, in a 509 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: moment of truth, said no, like he couldn't believe that 510 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: I was asking that, almost like in like, no, are 511 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: you kidding me? That's that's not what our relation Now 512 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: he didn't say, that's not what our relationship was about, 513 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: but that's really how I read it. He's like no, 514 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he caught himself where he 515 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: gave me what I thought was an honest answer at 516 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: the time. Instead of saying, well, I hope so, and 517 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: you know, we will open up the scrap book and 518 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: you know we have so many great memory he just 519 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: went no. Would you say that sums up the relationship 520 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: between these two that they're not taking a trip down 521 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: memory lane anytime soon, not anytime soon. But I still 522 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: think that even if they get on each other's nerves 523 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: and there's some macrimony I think, especially in the Brady 524 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: side right now over how things ended in New England 525 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: the past few years, but I think that there's a 526 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: love there and I think that that's really important. And 527 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: and you know, as different as they are from a 528 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: personality standpoint, they have a couple key traits that are 529 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: almost completely aligned. And I think that one of them. 530 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: They are steadfast optimists. They kind of come in it 531 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: from a different angle. But nobody in NFL history has 532 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: believed in the power and the possibilities of the next 533 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: play like these guys. I mean, no matter what has happened, 534 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: They're able to focus on what's in front of them. 535 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: And you see a play out on these international stages 536 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: where Brady rallies the team from twenty eight to three 537 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: down and a year before another brilliant goal line stand 538 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: by a Belichick defense. I mean, nobody like these two guys. 539 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: They refuse to concede an inch to anybody else's idea 540 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: of the inevitable. I wonder if they get blown out 541 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: forty two to ten by the Falcons, does Bill move 542 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: on from Brady sooner? Yeah, that's a great question. I 543 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: think that there's a strong likelihood. One of the things 544 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: I get into in the book is I think that 545 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: one of the things that reignited their dynasty was in 546 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Divisional playoff game in twenty fifteen when they 547 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: were down fourteen points in the third quarter and they 548 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: unveil that the Baltimore and the Ravens funky formations that 549 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: completely baffled the Ravens, and it got New England back 550 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: in this game. And if they had lost that game, 551 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what it would have happened. I mean, 552 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo had just finished his rookie season. Would they 553 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: have moved on from Brady right then? But instead they 554 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: unveil this classic formation that completely befuddled the Ravens, got 555 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: them back in the game, and it really reignited the 556 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: entire dynasty and led to those three more Super Bowls. 557 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: You want to get in on the pregame bet? Is 558 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: there a hug? Is there a handshake? Is there any 559 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: contact whatsoever between Brady and Belichick? So I would bet, 560 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not a better but I would bet that 561 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: there will be a pregame hug because there'll be too 562 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: many cameras after the game. And I think they'll both 563 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: do it because they know that it's in their best 564 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: interest to do it. And I often wonder, you know, look, 565 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Brady is going to be so focused and 566 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: so keyed up for this game, whether they will try 567 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: to show him so much love at that stadium, like 568 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: a video tribute whatever to kind of throw them off. Oh, 569 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: I would absolutely seth would, I would make him cry. 570 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: The Colts did it with Peyton Manning when he came 571 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: back as a Denver Bronco. They did this big tribute 572 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: to him and he started crying during pregame warm months 573 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: and so like, I absolutely think that's the best way 574 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: to try to throw Brady off. Great to talk to you, Seth. 575 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: Congrats on the book and good luck with the sales. 576 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: Thanks man, I'll talk to you. That's Seth Wickersham In 577 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: the book, It's Better to be Feared than New England Patriots. 578 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: Dynasty The Pursuit of Greatness released nationally on Tuesday, October twelfth. 579 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: Prior to that date, the book can be pre ordered 580 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: anywhere where books are sold. Still, I have questions here 581 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: and I'll probably always have questions. It feels like the 582 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: information is coming from Brady's side of the ball, because 583 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: Belichick doesn't strike me as having guys who they're they're 584 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: going to leak information. Tom's you know here, something that 585 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: came out. Bill's not going to talk about it, but 586 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: somebody with Bill might just to give his side of this. 587 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: But it feels like on Brady's side, and look, athletes 588 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: have this, musicians have that, you have to have somebody 589 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: who is going to be saying something on your behalf. 590 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: Do I think Belichick has that? Yes, I do a fixer. 591 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 1: Do I think Tom has that? Yes, because they can 592 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 1: go in and say, hey, you're not you're not right 593 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: with that, or you know what, let's clear that up. 594 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 1: Let me give you a little bit more clarity here 595 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: that that happens. I mean, Paul, He's done that for me. Sometimes, 596 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: when you know I don't want to get involved in something, 597 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: I'll just say to Paul, hey, hey, just be the 598 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: middleman and let them know what they said was wrong, 599 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: or you know, we can clean this up, or you know, 600 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: I can give you a comment on this. But you know, 601 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: these are big time, big name guys with big things 602 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: at stake, not me, and you want to make sure 603 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: that it's presented in the right way. Tom doesn't want 604 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: to be the guy who got Jimmy Garoppolo traded. Belichick 605 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be the guy who didn't want Tom 606 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: to stay. Like, everybody has their sides. You know, battle 607 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: lines are drawn here. But I don't know if we're 608 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: ever going to get the true story of Malcolm Butler 609 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: that you bench him because he didn't have a good 610 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: practice week prior to the Super Bowl, knowing that that's 611 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: going to hurt your chances of winning a Super Bowl. 612 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: Like I can send a message to you, but that 613 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: message might be you're not there for the first series, 614 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: now get in there and play, not you're in the 615 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: first series on the kickoff, now you're out for the 616 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: rest of the game. You know, Belichick not wanting to 617 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: meet with Tom and COVID and yeah, I'm okay, fine, 618 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: But did he reach out after that? Did he cared 619 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: to I don't know, Like it's not as big a deal, 620 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: but I just don't think that that's not who Belichick is. 621 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: He not a huggy guy. I don't think he hairs 622 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, mclub, I love what you guys are 623 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: talking about. Emotional warfare, like a make a video, put 624 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: pictures of his kids in Patriots here around the locker room. Yes, 625 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: I would make this as emotional as possible. If I'm 626 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots, I would overdo it. I'd put his jersey 627 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: up in the Patriot Hall of Fame. I mean I 628 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: would do whatever it would take just to get him 629 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: off his game.

Yeah, we 726 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: should do the other end of the bet, which was 727 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: to put him in a suit of armor and make 728 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: him swim. Oh, I know, I know that was my 729 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: favorite if you could have gotten Michael Phelps in a 730 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: suit of armors swimming in the pool and Paully would 731 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: have raised him and still lost the Phelps in a 732 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: suit of armor.

Sixty eight percent Joe Burrow. Yeah. 735 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: I get that recency bias as well. And I'm rooting 736 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: for the Patriots to win because the content that will 737 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: If the Buccaneers win, nobody's gonna be surprised, but I'm not. 738 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: There's no guarantee on this is going to be a 739 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: good game. By the way, it could be field goals sloppy, 740 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: not great.
