1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: You know, I've been a Tom Brady friend my whole life.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Ever since I've been watching football. You're amazing. I learned

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: something new about you every day. Father was a professional

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: baseball player, sister was great at softball. You were drafted,

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: I think by the Montreal Expos. So what made Because

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: baseball pays a lot of money too, and you probably

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: could have got the same thing, what made you say, Nope,

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: forget baseball, I'm going with football. Yeah.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: The crazy part is so when I grew up in

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: the Bay Area, I went to a high school that

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: was a really great baseball school.

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: It was probably one of the best in the Barrier.

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: Barry Bonds went to our high school, and when I

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: went to my freshman year in high school was a

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: year that Barry got to come play for the San

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants, So we all looked up to him. He

17
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: was like the mand So I loved baseball my whole life.

18
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: I was a really good baseball player. And then all

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the Niners were really good too. Niners

20
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: were that was their heyday Montana the young So we

21
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: were in this community of sports where it was like

22
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Niners on one end, and yet here I am at

23
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: Sarah and Barry Bonds.

24
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: Is our are our God.

25
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: So I just I ended up trying out for football

26
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: my freshman year, and I wasn't great at it. I

27
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: didn't even have to put the pads in my pants.

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: I was looking around all the other dudes who played

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: Pop Warner. It was like their tailbowne pad and your

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: hip pad, like you know, and so here I am.

31
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: I played on the street all the time, you know,

32
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: we played touch with all the kids on the street.

33
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: So now I'm looking around and we go out to practice,

34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: these dudes who've been playing Pop Warner flying around hitting people,

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is really moving fast. So I

36
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: played my freshman year in high school and I didn't

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: even win the starting job on the freshman team. I

38
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: was a backup on a team that went zero to eight.

39
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: We didn't win a game, and the coach didn't even

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: want to put me in the game. But I loved

41
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: the feeling of the team, of playing football in the

42
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: physical element of the game, even though I was a

43
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: way better baseball player, like All Star in baseball everything.

44
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: And then my love for the game just grew.

45
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: I went on my second year, I tried out for

46
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: the JV team made it end up being the starter,

47
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: and coaches who knew how tough it was as freshman

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: for us because we didn't win, they just made it

49
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: so much fun. Every practice were it was just we

50
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: loved it and they really embraced it.

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: Then my junior year, I started growing in my body.

52
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: Now I was like six four to ten to throw

53
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: the ball pretty well. I went to some camps and

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: I started looking at other kids like hold on, and

55
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: then I just fell in love with throwing a football.

56
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: And like, it's hard to describe throwing a football. I

57
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever Like, I don't know what

58
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: it would compare to in basketball, But like I would

59
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: say for golf, when you're on the golf course and

60
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: you hit like a perfect seven iron and you just

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: flush it and that ball comes off your club face

62
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: and it's the perfect trajectory and it lands exactly where

63
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: you want.

64
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: That was me throwing a football.

65
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: Like I would just look at you shack and I

66
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: would throw a ball and it came out of my

67
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: hands perfect and the perfect amount of spiral, with the

68
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: perfect amount of pace. If I was aiming for your

69
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: right eye. My you know, there's a hit you right

70
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: in the right eye. I'd be like, throw back, I

71
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: want to do it again over.

72
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 3: It was like a drug. It's a drug and it

73
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: still is.

74
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I pick up a football, I'm not thinking about, hey,

75
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: let's just play catch.

76
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: I'm thinking like, how tight of a spiral cannot throw it?

77
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: And if they called me into action right now, would

78
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: I be ready to go?

79
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: That was my next question.

80
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: Would you be ready to go right now?

81
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: I'd whoop it right now. Absolutely I could go out

82
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: there and play.

83
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 3: Give me a month. I mean I could go play

84
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: with anybody.

85
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: Really seriously, thirty one day.

86
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, I took care of my body. Great,

87
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: I mean everything is. I could do it all, and

88
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: I just you know what I wouldn't want to do, is,

89
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: you know, make the commitment to play because it's like

90
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: I'd say, it's like basketball season. Do you really want

91
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: to commit to playing eighty two games? That takes a

92
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: lot of training, And it's like I don't want to

93
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: do that.

94
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: But if he could come back for just the finals, okay, yeah,

95
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: then it's confession time.

96
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got smoked by two German kids in the Bahamas.

97
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Basic twelve.

98
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: Really, what do you mean by smoked out.

99
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: So first of all, they were there on the court

100
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: by themself, so it wasn't like a big fan thing.

101
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: And one of the kids start talking. So now I'm like,

102
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: look up, but I couldn't move left or right. I couldn't.

103
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: He's more recent out the game than my shot was flat.

104
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: Like I was like, who was I? Where did it go? Yeah? Smoke.

105
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: I saw the video MJ when he went up to

106
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: New York and he rented that house and he was like, man,

107
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: let me see if I can make.

108
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: A free throw.

109
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: And then he made it and he said, man, I

110
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: haven't a shot a ball in a long time. So

111
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: that was like, I just want to see him do it.

112
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: The way you talk about it, you're not ready to

113
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 4: give up the football like that still means something.

114
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm playing in a flag football game in Saudi Arabia

115
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: in March twenty first with all NFL players and I'm

116
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 2: one of the quarterbacks.

117
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: I'm out there with Jayden Daniels and and you're cranked up.

118
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: This isn't just some fun thing like.

119
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: I can tell I want to do great, you know,

120
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: And I always feel like, man, I want people to

121
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: look like damn that Tom Brady right there, you know,

122
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: and I want to throw that ball and people go,

123
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: oh yeah, because.

124
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: His last game he threw for three hundred and fifty

125
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: one yards, So it's not like there was a drop off.

126
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

127
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: Right now I'm watching Lebron and I'm seeing he's, you know,

128
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: struggling to get ten. You still think you can go

129
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: right now? How do you deal like you left at

130
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 4: a time where I think you still had the juice.

131
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: You kind of went and played the last few years

132
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: and kind of were like, Okay, I'm done.

133
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: You're a goat.

134
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: Lebron's up.

135
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: What advice do you give to someone where it's like,

136
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: I always want to be the guy, but at the

137
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: same time, I'm not what I once was.

138
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: How do you bridge that? It'd be pretty hard for me.

139
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: That'd be pretty hard.

140
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: I think if I looked at myself and said I

141
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: can't do what I used to do, then I would

142
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: just say, like enough's enough. That would be That'd be tough,

143
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: because that's hard for all of us to see ourselves go.

144
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: That used to be so easy and then now it's

145
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: really hard. But I mean it's different, you know. I

146
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: Mean there's one element that I have a big advantage

147
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: is I don't have to run. I could be and

148
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: I could move my feet quick. I could move in

149
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: the pocket. I could shuffle like the game as he

150
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: I see every play, I could see every defense. But

151
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: like the element of actually sprinting and cutting like a halfback,

152
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: that's a whole different story. You can't be my age

153
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: and do those things, and that's not my style of play.

154
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: But The Big Podcast is a team that with DraftKings

155
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: Pick six where we do it big, big matchups this week,

156
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: big conversations everywhere, and DraftKings Pick six that you ride

157
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: the upside on all of it. This is the best

158
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,600
