I've never said anything bad about Bill Belichick.

I know everybody tries to say I do.

His record speaks for itself.

He is probably the greatest one ever.

But I think Brady wanted to try a different way.

He said that on inside the NFL.

Boy, I found that incredibly interesting Dominique again.

If we're here now, sort of analyzing our feelings and all that kind of stuff, what do you think of that?

I mean, that is an expression of another version of sensitivity.

That's part of what Dr Tom Brady is being sensitive to the way that people viewed him and being sensitive to the way that people viewed his career and part of coming down to Tampa Bay was kind of making that statement.

We know Tom Brady's never said that, and maybe Tom Brady isn't or obviously he's not completely motivated by showing Bill Belichick or winning without Bill Belichick.

But I think we all be lying.

If we didn't acknowledge that, it's part of it in his mind and he's gonna be happy toe have that on his wall is I did it without Bill.

Can he do the same?

What do you think?

Toys As you sort of watch this whole thing play out.

We haven't had you through this whole season and everything else.

What do you think of what Arians said?

And the Brady Bill factor in all this?

Yeah.

I mean, it means everything.

The greatest players are sensitive and you're sensitive because it matters to you.

So imagine being tied to one person your entire career, and your greatness is tied together.

And now you go your separate ways.

You want to prove that you're better than your ex, you wanna go out there and you want to go and show that you could get it done by yourself.

And that's exactly what he was able to accomplish and for him to do in a year one.

It all played out that way.

And it proves not necessarily that Bill Bell check isn't the greatest coach because he is.

But it also proves that Tom Brady is capable of being that leader that can elevate a different organization, which we would have never had if they didn't have that sensitive fraction ego Graziano jump on in here.

What do you make of it?

Yeah, Look, this is a lot of what we were saying a year ago when Tom Brady left and and a lot of what Brady was saying to I enjoyed my time in New England.

It's time to try something different, and obviously that's what worked out.

You know, you don't want to obviously be labeled a, uh, I guess, to use the word of the day sidekick to Bill Belichick in New England for all those years.

So he's proven, obviously, if anyone had any doubts that he was much mawr than that.

But yeah, I think it's, I think this is.

This is something.

As Dominick said, you know, you can hang on your wall.

I did this, I accomplish this.

This was me.

And, uh, and now it's up to Belichick, as we've discussed earlier in previous weeks to sort of show that he can when without Tom and then just a quick final thought, Dominique, because this came up on the show last week, Odell Beckham to the Buccaneers to play with Tom Brady.

Like it or don't like it.

I mean, I love it from an entertainment standpoint and from us washing standpoint.

But the more that I think about it, the most important thing for them to do is to protect that offensive line and that defensive line.

They're gonna be losing sue.

So if you get uh, if you get O B J, that's fine.

That's gonna make that offense even more explosive.

But that's not what this offense needs.

I think Odell Beckham is much more useful in other places where they are do not have a glut of weapons.

They need to figure out how to bring Chris God went back and use whatever money they might be allotting for Odell Beckham to make sure that they replace the Dominic ensue because that's what won them the championship.

That defense.
