00:00But we heard from one head coach.
00:01Let's head over and hear from another one.
00:02That one being Mike McDonald, who apparently had some help during the Super Bowl.
00:08And so let's hear from Mike McDonald.
00:10Who did you seek advice from going into the Super Bowl that might surprise me?
00:14Well, I wouldn't have surprised.
00:14I called John Harbaugh and I talked.
00:17He was great.
00:18Probably can't mention one guy that really helped us out that had some conflict of interest.
00:24Can we guess?
00:26Sure.
00:26I don't know if I'm going to tell you, but go ahead.
00:28Bill Belichick.
00:29I'm not that cool.
00:30Oh, yeah.
00:31No, he wouldn't.
00:33You wouldn't have a phone call.
00:34I've had a beer with Coach Belichick and that was that was a pretty cool.
00:37That was a pretty cool day.
00:38Who else would we guess?
00:40Kyle Shanahan?
00:41No, Kyle.
00:45You absolute traitor.
00:49But you know who it is.
00:50Yeah, it was the guy who text them after or call them after the win.
00:54It was the guy who sent him a congratulations text after he beat the team that he played for
00:58for 20 years.
00:59Yeah.
01:00After he beat the team whose fans he said he loved.
01:03He didn't have a dog in the fight.
01:05Huh?
01:05He don't have a dog.
01:06The guy who didn't have a dog in a fight.
01:07Turned out he did.
01:08So, there's no other explanation.
01:15So, Tom Brady helped him prep for the Super Bowl in order to beat the New England Patriots?
01:22It's pretty impressive.
01:23I mean, Brady helps.
01:37It's impressive?
01:38I already told you.
01:39I was like, I didn't agree with Brady going, I don't have a dog in the fight.
01:43Like, so that from day one.
01:45And then the congratulatory text after the Super Bowl when him and Vrabes were teammates
01:52for all those years, won three Super Bowls together.
01:54Like, you know, and I didn't understand that we had a great time in San Francisco and we
02:00had so many guys on.
02:02Vince Wilford.
02:03Teddy.
02:03Teddy Bruschi, Vince Wilford, everybody felt the exact same way that you felt.
02:08Yeah.
02:08They didn't get it.
02:09I don't get it.
02:10They did not get it.
02:12And the fact, Mike Vrabel and his Patriots team, if they had won that Super Bowl, does
02:18not diminish in any way, shape, or form.
02:21Drake May, I'll include Drake May, does not diminish in any way, shape, or form the incredible
02:27run that you had here, Tom Brady.
02:29Got a statue.
02:30Yes, you got a statue.
02:31Yeah.
02:32But is that what it's about or is it about the sour grapes that he left town with because
02:37he didn't get the final deal that he wanted from Kraft went with Belichick instead of Brady
02:43and maybe he wanted a little slice of ownership here and Kraft didn't do that.
02:48But I thought that.
02:49All right.
02:49So, I mean, that's better to me if that's the reason why he was helping them get ready
02:54to beat the Patriots.
02:55That's better to me than the fact that he doesn't want to see Drake May or anybody else who
03:01was the quarterback here do well.
03:03But that don't even add up to me because I thought they buried that hatchet when they
03:08built you a statue, right?
03:10I mean, you can publicly be like, yeah, thanks for the golden statue.
03:14I'm still holding this grudge.
03:16Really?
03:17You're going to hold a grudge?
03:19I guess some people do it unless it's the Clint Kubiak piece that he was going to hire
03:24him for the Raiders.
03:25But does Brady have that much power with the Raiders?
03:27Like, what else is it?
03:28I guess the only thing you can look at it is some type of pettiness.
03:33But I mean, the organization that, you know, we just talked about Jalen Brown and loyalty
03:39and that kind of thing.
03:40I feel like this organization was pretty loyal to you right up until the end.
03:43And yes, at the end, did they probably do you dirty in a way that you didn't like?
03:48I, you know, I would agree.
03:49Because I was like, just pay the man his two years and 50 million.
03:53But I, you know, you want six titles with the team and then you're like helping out the
03:59enemy.
03:59It's absolutely, it's disappointing.
04:02It's infuriating.
04:04And that people stood by him.
04:08People were pissed when he left.
04:11And people, there were actually people like Chris Curtis who rooted for the Buccaneers
04:16over the Patriots.
04:17Yeah.
04:17Because, because they felt that he had been done dirty.
04:21Meanwhile, if the man, if the man could play a guitar, his name should be Tom Petty is
04:26what it is, what it should be.
04:28It's like, like, are you kidding me, Tom Brady?
04:32This is a Super Bowl, guys.
04:34It's you're reaching out and saying, hey, how, how can I help you beat the Patriots?
04:38Yeah, that's not a good look.
04:39That is not.
04:40Here's my question, though.
04:41What would Tom Brady be able to contribute?
04:45Like, he, is he just saying, hey, I've been grinding quarterback tape of Drake May and
04:50here's some tendencies.
04:51Because remember, they were talking about how Drake, the Seahawks defense felt like Drake
04:55kind of had a tell when he was going deep.
04:57I mean, he knows Josh better than anybody else knows Josh.
05:02That's a great point.
05:03That's exactly what it was.
05:05Hey, Josh likes this on third down.
05:07Josh likes this one at second and four.
05:09That's so dirty.
05:10Here's when Josh is going to take shots.
05:12That's so bad.
05:13It's so bad.
05:14What's up, Mike?
05:15Hey, how you doing?
05:16What's up?
05:17Quick thing.
05:18Talk about Tom Brady giving information.
05:20Tom Brady didn't have to give that much information.
05:22If you go on YouTube and put in, is this one of the tells the Seahawks coaches found?
05:27Wiggy, you coach, you tell the offensive lineman to always stay in the same stance,
05:33no matter if it's a pass or run.
05:34Morgan Moses, when it was a run, he was square.
05:37When it was a pass, his outside leg was way back.
05:41It was every single play.
05:42It was so obvious.
05:44If he was eight years old, I would have yelled at him.
05:46That's an NFL player.
05:48I get that part of it, but I think it's more of...
05:50Ooh, you cracked it.
05:51And I think it's more of, and Greg, you made this point, which I think is a really good point,
05:56the relationship that Brady had with Josh McDaniels.
05:59Yeah.
05:59And being able to say, hey, to Mike McDonald and the Seattle Seahawks, hey, when it's
06:04third and seven, these are Josh's go-to plays.
06:07Yes.
06:08You know, and I get the stance and all that.
06:10You're always looking for the tell signs.
06:12You're always looking for the tips to get you better.
06:13But when you know an offensive coordinator that well, they don't change who they are.
06:19Like, they don't change how they call it.
06:21Like, they know, like, hey, Josh might say, oh, third and five, I love this play.
06:26Yeah.
06:27And that's the information that Brady's able to give because of the relationship that he
06:32had with him for so long.
06:33So what we're talking about, if you missed, they said it this morning, that happens every
06:37morning at 7.15 on the show.
06:39This is what Mike McDonald said about getting help when preparing to play the Patriots in
06:45the Super Bowl.
06:45Who did you seek advice from going into the Super Bowl that might surprise me?
06:49Well, when I was surprised, I called John Harbaugh and I talked.
06:52He was great.
06:53Probably can't mention one guy that really helped us out that had some conflict of interest.
06:59Can we guess?
07:01Sure.
07:02I don't know if I'm going to tell you, but go ahead.
07:03Bill Belichick.
07:04I'm not that cool.
07:06Oh, yeah.
07:06No.
07:07He wouldn't.
07:08You wouldn't have a phone call.
07:09I've had a beer with Coach Belichick, and that was a pretty cool day.
07:14Who else would we guess?
07:15Kyle Shanahan?
07:17No, Kyle.
07:18No, no, no, no.
07:19I mean, one guy that really, I'm emphasizing the really, that really helped us out.
07:27Right.
07:27Who had a conflict of interest.
07:30Right.
07:30It's Brady.
07:33Honestly, I was just talking during the break about Catch's Law, the official law firm of
07:38the New England Patriots.
07:40I think they ought to, the Patriots ought to seek their counsel on this.
07:45They may have some sort of a fraudulent win, Super Bowl win case that they can go to the
07:52NFL about.
07:54Right.
07:54Try to see if we can get the result of that Super Bowl reversed with some kind of a class
07:58action lawsuit.
07:59There's got to be something going on here.
08:00There's got to be something going on here.
08:02A little fine for Brady or something?
08:04Like, you're giving family secrets?
08:07Yeah.
08:07He's got to give up one of these gigs.
08:09Like, maybe when they said, hey, it's okay that he's in these meetings every week for
08:14the broadcast crew.
08:15Do they think that Brady was only going to do it for two years?
08:18And then he was going to get sick of it and say, this is a little below me.
08:21I'm going to just go be a partial owner of a team.
08:25Because doing all of it, it just creates all these conflicts.
08:30Text from my adopted home continent of Maine with a great point.
08:34Tom Brady actually lied.
08:35He did have, he clearly had a dog in the fight.
08:39That he did.
08:39And it was not the New England Patriots.
08:41And Meg, to answer your point, though, right, you're talking about Fox thinking he's only
08:45going to do it for two years?
08:46No, no, no, no.
08:47That the league did.
08:48Oh, the league did?
08:48And that's why they go, we don't really mind if he's in these weekly meetings.
08:54Yeah.
08:5410 years, 300 million?
08:55Even when he first signed that contract, like, you remember he pushed it back a year.
08:59He wanted to take his time with it.
09:02I'm not sure that everyone believes he's going to do it for 10 years.
09:05I guess the question, and that's why I asked, is it an issue if you work for a broadcast?
09:11Because, like, say he didn't work for the broadcast, right?
09:13He just, you know, and he just was like, all right, I'm going to give, you know, Seattle
09:17information on, you know, what I think Josh McDaniels would do.
09:21No big deal there.
09:22No, it's not.
09:23Right?
09:23I mean, in the Twitch chat, a question about whether it's a douche move or not, that the
09:29Twitcher believes that's a douche move.
09:30Oh, yeah.
09:31Hands down.
09:31Oh, totally.
09:32Yeah, hands down.
09:32I think it's a complete douche move.
09:33Yeah, he's double douching because, remember, he says, I don't have a dog in the fight, which
09:37that was the first douche move.
09:38And now, I guess he's triple douching because he went.
09:43That's going to cause some problems.
09:45Yeah.
09:45He went from no dog in the fight to congratulations text message after the Super Bowl win to Mike
09:52McDonald.
09:52So now we're getting, oh, who did you get advice from?
09:55So he just was like, ooh, New England, I'm about to stick it to you.
09:59It feels that way.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Well, they shouldn't have been, Tom, I guess they shouldn't have been petty to him and he
10:04would have been petty back.
10:05Well, that Super Bowl loss is yesterday's news.
10:08Well, that's cool.
