Tom Brady
Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a promising start in the 2022-23 season but have eventually started to fall short as we approach the business end. In the team’s most recent loss in Week 6 vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 7xSuper Bowl even lost his cool in calling out his o-line.
When Tom Brady was inquired about his viral rant during the Week 6 encounter, the 45-year-old veteran admitted that his best behavior wasn’t on display.
“I don’t know if it’s motivation, but I do think that it’s a bad day when there’s more F-bombs than touchdowns,” Tom Brady said on a recent episode of his own podcast. “So that was not one of my better days. But F-bombs, they used to kind of keep from showing you in those moments but now it’s kind of for the world to see. So that’s just the way it is.”
“It’s all good,” Brady said. “You know, I think I have a great rapport with all my teammates and they know that the only reason why I’m doing it is to try to motivate them and try to get us to a higher level. It’s nothing that I don’t say, you know, if I don’t feel like we’re living up to the expectations and playing up to the expectations that we’re capable of then that’s my job. I’m a quarterback. I’m not expecting the right tackle to do it. I’m not expecting the running back to do it. I’m not expecting the receiver to do it. I’m expecting myself to do it.”
That just goes onto show how passionate Tom Brady is even after being 45-years-old. Just signifies why he is one of the best players to have embraced the league.
He concluded by stating, “I’m the one out there speaking in the huddle, calling the plays. That’s what my job is to try to get us going and to try to rally us. And there’s a lot of ways to do it. And sometimes it’s some positive encouragement, which you do a lot. Sometimes it’s, you know, getting on people and trying to raise the level, the sense of urgency, and raising my voice and trying to create a different vibration for the whole offense. And that’s ultimately what you’re trying to do.”
