Matt Damon Can’t Wait to See Tom Brady in the 'NFL on FOX' Booth This Season | The Rich Eisen Show

Matt Damon on the Tom Brady Roast did you see the Brady roast Matt did you see that I did yeah yeah yeah I saw it in fact I I did an opening voiceover for him I couldn't go to the roast uh because I had a conflict but um I did a uh I did the voiceover at the beginning just because I wanted to be a part of it well you know it's it's funny I I was the one who kind of with the mic to start the whole thing off Michael Buffer style so I did not hear the voice over at the start but I certainly heard every last damn syllable after after that live and what did what did you think as your s what does what does Matt Damon think watching the Brady roast sitting at home on Netflix there Matt I don't The Roasting culture I you know it's as fun as it is to watch I never understand why people do it you know what I mean like I don't want to hear my you know a bunch of my friends get up and like rip me apart in public you know um but it was it was a lot of fun Kevin was unbelievable um as always uh and and and all the comedians I thought were were great but it's you know it's a it's kind of a blue room you know you you it it it touches on stuff that you're like oof you know it kind of it can get a little cringy but um but I had a lot of fun with it it's also like guys those foot like what do you think you you put those guys together and give them free tequila well that moment right there that moment right there a lot of people thought bellich didn't want to drink with craft because of you know the fact that they've split ways professionally a few months ago but I was told that look on bellich cheek's face was because he's a Wine Drinker and he had just done a shot of tequila with grank five minutes before and he's like really I like I can't I don't want another shot of tequila like that was that moment right there that's great in the that's great it's always you know we all think in terms of conspiracies and deeper meanings and sometimes it's just the guy didn't want another shot of tequil it that's bich just like I don't want another shot of tequila that's really what it was uh but but as a patriot fan and and as a guy sitting you like you were just talking about you know the personal stuff and how that's kind of wild to hear that the the football stuff like the stuff that bledo was saying and the stuff that you know uh Edelman was saying and grank was saying about bich who's sitting right there I kind of felt like I was in a Patriots therapy session Matt Damon on playing for Tom Brady Matt during the right yeah I mean look I think it's complicated I think I think belich I mean he's a historically incredible coach and and anytime you see those guys who who win like that it is always I mean you think about Michael Jordan or Tommy like there there is a there is a part of their character that is probably technically antisocial ultimately like in The Wider general population but it works really well in like highly competitive environments and so I think it's just hard to you know it's taxing to play for somebody like that but if you all those players always talk about like their love for him and their and their gratitude for having been in his system and as hard as it was you know I mean Tom said that so many times about you know this is something that we did together and and it it was and it and it required buyin from every single person in the organization and that's and when you see that that's you know that's really the the Pinnacle of professional sports I would think yeah and and if you saw the Brady retirement um ceremony in Gillette a few weeks later I kind of think like the roast cleared the air in advance of that and made it a much more joyous less awkward less intense more celebr Matt Damon on Tom Brady as a broadcaster Affair it's kind of crazy how that worked but that's the way it looked like to me you know it's funny you say it's like a therapy session because ultimately I think that's the purpose it served right it's like it did it kind of It kind of cleansed the pallet and these guys actually got to go and look back on what they did and celebrate what they did together and celebrate Tom and yeah it was it was awesome if you're a if you're a Patriots fan I think he's gonna be great as a broadcaster too Matt what do you think the TB is gonna I do too I mean I just think of you know Romo the year that he came right off of the field and into the booth and just their their knowledge is so I remember a call Romo made where he just goes it was the end of a Patriots game and we were winning by three scores and and and the other team was driving and they scored and Romo started laughing and he just goes oh that's so gross and and I'm like what's he gonna say and he goes bich is messing with the analytics he's never in that package on the goal line he just put that package in because it's a meaningless score and he wants to screw up the other guys analytics when they're looking at what packages they use and in goal line situations and like that level of you know kind of understanding of the game and the ways you know that the moves people are putting on each other that's you know and Tom understands every every single defense I mean he's just played against everything for decades and so I can't wait to hear him I mean I I think he's going to be just great yeah I'm with you especially since to like how many broadcasters will be able to speak from the uh the personal knowledge of being a late draft choice and Overlook draft choice somebody who had to wait till the starter was injured to start made the most of his opportunity got instant Fame won multiple Super Bowls then went 10 years without winning one then did it again you know then blew out his knee in between I could go on then switched teams then one again then play deep into their 40s like he could sit there and pretty much break down any situation there is you know what I mean what it's like to be a free agent I mean all of them yeah that's right from a firstperson perspective and he can he knows what it all of those things feel like um and he's just I think for anybody who knows him I mean you know him off the field he is the nicest guy and that's what you know people have been rooting against him you know the majority of people who are going to be watching and we're rooting against him for years um they're going to see that too and I it's impossible not to love that guy once you once you spend a little time with him he's he's just a a great person but he's so knowledgeable that I think I I I can't wait to I'm gonna watch whatever games he's broadcasting because because it's going to be fun catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to3 Eastern for free
