Zolak and Bertrand react to Tom Brady's statue outside of Gillette Stadium.
Transcript
00:00So, we now know what the statue looks like.
00:03What's your review?
00:04That was a yuck fest right there at the Belichick joke.
00:06First of all, credit to the fans.
00:09The fans here are unbelievable.
00:11That place was banged out well before he was probably even in a building.
00:16It was good to see his whole crew, his whole family was there,
00:19sisters, mom, dad, everybody he represents.
00:22Will McDonough was his handler to Ben Rowett, to his brother.
00:27It's the same people.
00:29It's the same people that took care of Tom here.
00:30Everybody showed up for it.
00:32Former players showed up for it.
00:33Good turnout.
00:34Yeah, Brady's going to attract that.
00:36I think from a statue standpoint, we all have our own favorite Brady stances.
00:41We talked about this, right?
00:43Whether it was the let's go or holding up the trophy or the two hands up
00:47after the last Super Bowl.
00:50Or just, you know, images of him throwing.
00:55Statues are hard.
00:57They are.
00:57But I watched that whole thing they put out, like on the making of the statue,
01:02you know, on Patriots.com.
01:03I think it was on their TikTok, too.
01:07And they talked about how monotonous it was and the amount of technology they used, too.
01:13So, like, you could redo teeth, right?
01:15Build a tooth in one day.
01:16They re-engineer ears, like body parts, when people get pretty messed up.
01:22It's amazing.
01:23You just can't press a button.
01:24You just can't have a statue come out where it's perfectly symmetrical to what you remember the player being.
01:30I think they nailed the head.
01:31The head's good.
01:32Looks like him.
01:33There are parts of it that – I heard somebody say this, that it looks like Brady's head on Mac Jones' body.
01:43I didn't like that.
01:44You know, because he's a little barrel-chested.
01:47It's a thicker body than what Tom is.
01:50Yeah.
01:51I mean, we all know that, right?
01:52Mm-hmm.
01:53But, I mean, I got to see it.
01:55I didn't go out to see it in person yet.
01:58But, like, there's a cool thing Barth had a picture on.
02:01At night, there was a shadow cast.
02:04It looks cool at night.
02:05Yeah.
02:05Right?
02:05Not the actual statue, but, like, up against the lighthouse wall, you could see the shadow.
02:13And the shadow looks like, holy crap, that's Brady.
02:16So how did they get that?
02:17But some people feel they didn't nail this one.
02:20Hey, it's all to everybody's comment on what you – it's a statue.
02:24It's a great honor.
02:25He looked thrilled.
02:27He didn't like, ugh, Sean Taylor's family when he unveiled his.
02:30Yeah, I mean, it was hard to look pleased with the Sean Taylor one.
02:33T-Bone, you saw it.
02:33What do you think?
02:35I probably saw it up as up close as Zoe did.
02:38I wasn't impressed.
02:42I thought the head was a little small.
02:44Arms were a little long.
02:45I think that's where Will Campbell's arm length was into that statue.
02:48You know me.
02:49I like to draw.
02:52I'm pretty good at art.
02:53The hardest thing – I could draw buildings, do anything.
02:56The hardest thing to do is the human figure.
02:59It really is.
02:59And forget about the likeness.
03:00Hands, face, hands, face.
03:02Why?
03:02Forget about the likeness.
03:03What about the pose?
03:04What did you think of the pose?
03:06No, I thought the let's go one should have been what it was, to be honest with you.
03:09It was just a generic pose.
03:10I wish you would rather have a helmet on them with the fist pump and the – everyone knows what they were looking for.
03:16See, people say don't put the helmet on, though, because, like, football players, you don't get to see them because they have the helmet on.
03:20Right.
03:21I don't care if the helmet was on, but –
03:23You'd know who it was.
03:26Yeah, like, here's the thing.
03:27Like, the Ray Lewis statue, like, it's, like, perfectly Ray down in Baltimore.
03:31I'm pretty sure Peyton Manning has his helmet on his statue.
03:34Well, he looks like a goober barrel-chested schmuck.
03:37Hey, he might have requested having a helmet on.
03:39Yeah.
03:39Yeah.
03:40No, I'm just talking about the bodies.
03:41Barrel-chested.
03:42You know, he's like Elway, those guys.
03:45Hey, it's a great honor.
03:46Everybody has their opinion on a damn statue.
03:48They're tough.
03:49They're tough to do.
03:49But look at the Hall of Fame again.
03:52Remember when Deion Sanders got inducted, how bad his bust was?
03:55Yeah.
03:56Like, some guys they know, some guys they don't.
03:59That's takeaway.
04:01Right there.
04:02Not takeaway, but happy ending.
04:04Oh, yeah, fake promo.
04:05What's that?
04:06Wait a minute.
04:06It also is that, yeah.
04:08Did we call that once at the end of the show?
04:12That was a long time ago, so.
04:13Okay.
04:14That was a few iterations ago, yeah.
04:17Here's my takeaway from the whole thing.
04:18I think I'm out on statues.
04:20I think I'm out on statues.
04:21Is it too soon?
04:22It's too –
04:23No one's going to be happy.
04:26We don't do good statues anymore.
04:28So how are you honoring it?
04:29Retire the number.
04:30That's it.
04:31Just retire the number.
04:32I think that's what you do in the stadium.
04:34So you don't like the Bobby Orr statue?
04:36You don't like the –
04:36I think the move is actually to do what the Yankees do with Monument Park and maybe do the plaques and stuff like that.
04:44But I just think you are going to get roasted, especially in Boston, by the way, where nobody's happy about anything.
04:49You had a 0% chance of nailing the statue and being in a situation.
04:54But statues are so rare that it's like almost a bigger honor, you know?
04:59If you're going to say, let's do a Monument Park, you're going to just roll them out for everyone like the Yankees do.
05:04All right, but now we're going to do – so we're going to do a Belichick statue coming up probably?
05:07We're going to do a craft statue.
05:08You already have three people.
05:10Yeah, you don't think we're going to do either one of those statues?
05:12I don't think you're getting a Belichick statue for a long, long time.
05:15I don't think you are.
05:15A long time.
05:16You think you're getting a craft statue?
05:17You'll get a craft statue before you get a Belichick statue, yes.
05:20I'd agree with that.
05:22I don't know if he'd want a statue.
05:25I don't know if Robert would want a statue.
05:26What owner is a statue?
05:28That's the thing.
05:28Yeah, a fair amount.
05:30It's cherry wool.
05:30Do they?
05:31Yeah.
05:32Do they?
05:32Yeah.
05:33Oh, that's right.
05:34No, no, you're right.
05:36Where the hell were we?
05:36Cincinnati?
05:37Yeah, Cincinnati.
05:38Belichick made the bus a stop.
05:41He's the current owner, so he'd have to commission it himself.
05:43Correct.
05:44And what do people say about that?
05:45You know what I mean?
05:45Exactly.
05:46Yeah.
05:47I don't think you're getting one.
05:48I think Brady's going to be the only one.
05:50That's what I got feeling.
05:51That's all.
05:51I'd retire the number.
05:52But, like, each artist has their own sort of flair, the way they do it.
05:56The head's small.
05:57The head's too small.
05:59That's the one thing I would agree with.
06:00Yeah.
06:02But they did have...
06:03Size-wise, they nailed it.
06:05Right?
06:05Not too small.
06:06That's what he said.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Jake in Boston, that's a statue.
06:13Size-wise, the head looks great.
06:14You nailed, like, the knee brace and the spat on the shoe.
06:17It's crazy how detailed it is.
06:19Yeah, I agree with that.
06:20Yeah.
06:20Yeah.
