Transcript

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.

08:49TBD, 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.
