00:00But have you ever seen a player in any sport?
00:03We did this, by the way, when the man retired the first time.
00:05Correct.
00:06Yeah.
00:06And we did it when he came back.
00:08We did it when he came back.
00:09I think once is fine enough.
00:11I think if he comes back again after a roast and everything
00:13else, it's too much.
00:16So listen to this, Wiggy.
00:18On the Subaru of New England text line,
00:21you saw how defensive he was at the roast, which Courtney
00:25brought up, when it came to Robert Kraft.
00:27Texter says he would never come back and play in the division.
00:31And I also saw him on a boat saying,
00:34don't test me, young quarterbacks,
00:36and make me have to come out of retirement.
00:39We have never saw a player in any sport.
00:44If Tom Brady came back and played today,
00:46let's just say he did and he went to Miami.
00:48Teams in his backyard, doesn't have to travel,
00:50doesn't have to go away to the West Coast.
00:52They have an unbelievable offense.
00:54They have the most dominant skilled player
00:58in the NFL in Tyree Kill.
00:59If Tom Brady came back today, honestly,
01:03would he be looked at as a top 10 quarterback?
01:05Yeah.
01:06You mean before he plays?
01:08Like, Phil from the Cape says he probably would not.
01:11Hello, Phil?
01:13Yeah, Wiggs, you got to, whatever, I mean,
01:16I don't know what the strand is that you're smoking on
01:19or chewing on this morning.
01:21But one of the last games I got to witness for a standard
01:25inside of Raven-James was the Bengals
01:28playing Tom Brady's Bucs.
01:32Burrow, even in today's current key move
01:35version of a backstreet boy, I'm pretty
01:38sure he could spank Tom Brady.
01:41Tom Brady had a bazillion weapons down in Tampa,
01:45and he couldn't get the job done.
01:46Joe Burrow, easily.
01:48You didn't even, you let him off.
01:50Phil, Phil, Phil.
01:51He had a bazillion weapons his final year in Tampa.
01:54Were you watching that team?
01:55He did.
01:56You're going to tell me that his offensive weapons alone,
02:00every single target he had, Curtis?
02:02Come on.
02:02Did you see the roster he was growing to?
02:04Mike Evans was banged up.
02:06Godwin was coming off a knee injury.
02:08He had no offensive line.
02:11Could have ruined his career by continuing to go one more year.
02:14Look at his numbers.
02:15Phil, look at the year before his final year.
02:18He was the MVP of the NFL.
02:20Curtis, let me say this.
02:21Phil, Phil, here's his numbers.
02:24His last year, top 10 touchdowns,
02:27top five passing yards, he was.
02:30He was in the worst league in the NFL.
02:32He was in the worst division of the NFL.
02:34But I'm talking about overall.
02:36His only Super Bowl ring was the COVID year.
02:39Overall, Phil, Phil, Phil, Phil, listen, Phil, Phil.
02:45Overall, he was third his final year
02:48in passing yards with almost 4,700.
02:52He was behind Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes.
02:56Third, he was top 10 when it came to touchdowns.
02:59He had 25 touchdowns and only nine interceptions.
03:03His quarterback rating that year was a little low, was 90.
03:07But we're talking about a team in Miami
03:09that look what two was able to do with that type of talent.
03:14Stop with the Tom Brady.
03:16If he comes out of retirement, you
03:18can't touch the quarterback.
03:21The Fox job will wait for him.
03:23Yes.
03:25I mean, you can rip Brady, believe me.
03:29There's things to rip.
03:30Tom Brady's final year in Tampa, that team was a disaster.
03:35Yes.
03:36The Gronk was out.
03:37They had the offensive line was in shambles.
03:39His starting center got injured in the preseason.
03:41Chris Garville was coming off an ACL injury.
03:43It was a really, really bumpy ride.
03:47The year before, so they win the Super Bowl.
03:49His best season in Tampa was his second year.
03:52He was second in the MVP voting.
03:54He had 40 touchdown passes.
03:57I don't know if he can still do that.
03:59But if I am Steven Ross, and I have
04:03this team that's ready-made, I would absolutely entertain it.
04:07Maybe he can't put up those numbers,
04:08but let me ask the room this question.
04:10If Tom Brady's your quarterback, statistically,
04:13does he have better numbers than Tua would have?
04:15If Tua was healthy, who has better numbers this year
04:18if they're both healthy?
04:20Tom.
04:21I think probably Tom Brady does.
04:24But you don't know.
04:25A year is a long time to be out of it when you're his age.
04:29Yeah, but he's not.
04:30You know that.
04:31I understand, but his-
04:32And it's so easy.
04:34He doesn't take anything easy.
04:36But it's so easy to do the television thing
04:39and to wait till you get your equity stake in the Raiders.
04:44But what does Tom love?
04:46He loves himself.
04:47And he loves people talking about him.
04:48Right, he loves attention.
04:50If he did this and came out-
04:52What if he called his own games while he's on the field?
04:56But no, honestly, though, serious talk.
04:58If he did this and came out and did
05:02what we think he could do, he's already
05:04the greatest quarterback.
05:06He would be talked about in a whole nother level of-
05:10Well, he'd also be talked about poorly legacy-wise
05:13if he comes back and he's not that good.
05:14Yeah, but he has seven Super Bowls.
05:16So those will really go away.
05:17In 100 years, nobody's going to remember how he came back.
05:19And I would just like to say, B Souza, 340,
05:23the people that have this belief where they say,
05:25the only reason the Bucs won the Super Bowl was the defense.
05:31The Bucs that year had the same preseason over-under win
05:36total as the Patriots.
05:38The Bucs were the losingest franchise
05:40in the history of American team professional sports.
05:43They won seven games with Jameis Winston.
05:45They won the Super Bowl with Tom Brady.
05:48He elevated that entire organization.
05:52I mean, if you're the Dolphins, like who-
05:54we talked about Mac Jones.
05:55Who else are you going to go and get?
05:58Ryan Tannehill.
06:00Right, right?
06:01Ryan Tannehill, he's available.
06:03You could trade for Russell Wilson.
06:06Right.
06:07He's available.
06:08Colin Kaepernick.
06:10Right, he's available.
06:11Well, guess what, there's a guy who is five miles away
06:14from your stadium.
06:15You can go pick Bailey Zappi up off the Kansas City Chiefs
06:18practice ball.
06:19He's available.
06:19Or you could say, hey, Tom, listen, you're five miles away.
06:23You don't-
06:23You've got to be here one day a week.
06:26No, you'll be here for a couple of days.
06:27But it's easy to get here.
06:29The only time you've got to worry about traveling
06:31is when we play on the road.
06:32Well, you could probably trade for Zach Wilson.
06:35Right, you could still see your kids.
06:37You could still do all that stuff.
06:39You're in the place that has been trying to woo you,
06:44or was trying to woo you heavy.
06:47And look at the talent.
06:48And you've got a great offensive mind of Mike McDaniels.
06:51Yeah, but Greg brought up the point about if he came back
06:54and was not good.
06:55I know, Curtis, that overall, as a nation, as the world,
06:58we'd never remember.
06:59But Tom, I think that's in the back of his mind,
07:02of like, if you come back, he would never forgive himself.
07:04But he came back, he ended on a bad note.
07:06Right.
07:07He'd be trying to correct the loss
07:08that he had to the Cowboys in the final game.
07:10Do you think Tom Brady has a mindset, if I come back,
07:12I'm going to be bad?
07:14No.
07:14But I think that you have to be realistic,
07:17that you are getting older.
07:19And the fact that you did end on a bad note,
07:21you better come back looking pretty damn good.
07:23And do you think, based on him calling games and him watching,
07:27he goes, Deshaun Watson, and I'm up here doing this?
07:31And this, I'm calling the game.
07:33You don't think that Brady goes, I could do better than this?
07:35I understand Brady's made a lot of claims
07:37about how the game's gotten easier.
07:39I don't think that the game has changed that much
07:41from his last snap to where we are now.
07:43Do you agree with this text message
07:45that if he came back and beat Patrick Mahomes,
07:47it would be the greatest sports story ever?
07:51Yeah.
07:51I hope it's better than the original one
07:53that Wiggy was a part of with the Patriots,
07:55red, white, and blue winning after 9-11.
07:56That doesn't matter.
07:57This is the greatest.
07:58That would be the greatest sports story ever.
08:00A guy takes two years off.
08:02He's the greatest quarterback of all time.
08:05Does a couple of football games, comes back,
08:07and next thing you know, he's hoisting the Lombardi trophy.
08:11At 40, what is it, 46?
08:13He'd have to wait on the ownership
08:15stake in the Raiders.
08:16He'd have to, why does he care?
08:18He doesn't care about that.
08:19That still will be there.
08:21What's he, 40?
08:21And the three-peat too?
08:22That'd be pretty big.
08:23What's he, 46?
08:25And he would win the Super Bowl where it all began,
08:28New Orleans.
08:29Right, and how old is he, 46 years old?
08:32If he does well in Miami, then I'm sure that's the-
08:34Rich Hill of quarterbacks.
08:35Stephen Ross would give him-
08:36Don't you ever put Tom Brady and Rich Hill in the same sentence.
08:39I just wanted to make him mad.
08:40They would give him an equity stake down there.
08:43He's not worried about that.
08:44Is that your alias, Greg, when you check into a hotel?
08:47Rich Hill.
08:47Rich Hill.
08:49TBD, as Craig Breslow said yesterday.
08:54I don't think he appreciated the Rich Hill comment yesterday.
08:57That was, he gave a single chuckle and then went silent.
09:02Speaking of people that like Quidditch, Craig Breslow.
09:05All I know is it's just trending all over the place.
09:08Oh, it is?
09:08Brady, you know, Brady to Miami.
09:10Of course it is, that's how social media works.
09:12You got me excited.
09:13No, Curtis, listen.
09:14He's not coming back, Curtis, don't worry.
09:16It might be in the world that we see it, fantasy land,
09:21but it's a reality in Miami.
09:23I could tempt James to see Tom Brady week five at Gillette Stadium.
09:27You don't think that Miami's Dolphins owner-
09:30Miami's Dolphins.
09:31Is calling Tom all the time.
09:34I don't, I don't care if they're calling all the time.
09:36But that's the reason, but I'm saying-
09:37Tom Brady would have to accept for him to be on the field.
09:40But it's a reality in the world of the Dolphins.
09:43It's there, it's fantasy land to us, but to them, it's reality.
09:47It's more likely Santo actually casts a spell with a wand
09:50than Tom Brady comes back to the program.
09:52I'm not saying he's coming back or anything, but it's a reality.
09:55This is something that the owner of the Dolphins
09:58is probably picking up the phone
10:00every single day, Tom, please come play.
10:03And he'll do that all season long.
10:06Tyreek Hill just did an extension.
10:08You're not going to waste this guy's-
10:11Tyreek Hill's, you know, getting towards the ends of his career.
10:14Mike McDaniels has a team that has high powered off.
10:17It's their reality.
10:18I don't know why people don't see that.
10:20I don't know if this is an accurate report or not,
10:23but the superintendent of Brockton schools
10:26just offered him 14 million to play there this season.
10:30Harold just quoted that as a fact.
10:32Is that true?
10:34Just keep our eyes on it, man.
10:35We're going to keep our eyes on it.
