Intro welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin coward podcast go on hit the Subscribe button there you go right down there if you want to be among the first to hear my weekly takes NFL college football more right there right it's my buddy Nick Wright Nick Wright and Tom Brady we're going to chop it up for an hour this is going to be fun we we disagree strongly on a couple of things I think he's going to like one of my comps today but let's just start talking about me and Tom R let's just start can you know what can we I have a confession to make and then you do whatever you want to do I did something wholly unprofessional today gu under the guise of complimenting and congratulating my friend which is the moment Colin's show went to break when I knew for a fact he was within arms distance of Tom Brady and I would assumed all of our bosses I I made the most opportunistic FaceTime call of my life which was I facetimed Colin because I knew he was he was with Brady and I'm like this might be my best chance just because if I'm being honest you know you said you uh you know you had a few cameos in one of Brady's documentaries I damn near deserve royalties for how often I was featured and saying oh the end is nigh and then he win a championship and so I was hoping to maybe be like hi Tom we'd love to have you on the show sometime but either way glad you're a teammate and Colin graciously answered the call while he was basking in the Afterglow of 30 minutes with Tom but I didn't get that chance but now go ahead that I've made that confession go ahead and say what you you know your day was like well what was it was funny because um Nick Wright on Tom Brady on FOX you know I I I I've said before the only time not that I got nervous but when I was doing Barack Obama twice I came in really prepared like I If he threw me a curveball even political like I prepped for that for two days and with Brady I didn't feel I had to but I knew the bosses would be watching so the day starts and all of a sudden I'm seeing management all over the studio I'm like guys I got this I don't forget to do and remember and I'm like I started laughing I'm like you guys come down here for one reason you're firing me or I've got like somebody important on yeah I've been doing this through the years I'm good it's Tom Brady Tommy Talks we're all good but it was funny to watch you know I mean because Brady's important for the company and and and you know they it's it's a big move he's Tom Brady it's Fox it's the NFL you know Greg Olson was terrific so you want to make sure he's good they I think they'll both be great but there's just a lot of things going on here so it was kind of a funny strangely tense day but the great part about it is Tom um for all that hovers around him is just about as normal as you're going to get jeans tennis shoes you know just comes in he's like hey it's great to meet you just Tom's like a nice guy he really you can you know how you've met people before and you think more they wish to had good parents right like you can tell he's just very very grounded I mean everywhere Tom goes people are reaching at him and he just he's he just couldn't be more normal nice so here's so I I you know my experience with the interview is obviously exponentially different than yours you're doing it I'm watching it um but my takeaway was different and I think that you and I both have enough credibility with the audience built up to know like we're not shills for anybody we're going to be honest about what we think but I found myself Ed of my seat is probably a touch too strong but leaning in to every time he was even coming close to breaking down how he thought about football and it made me really excited for how he's going to call games because I there is this school of thought and Tom said it in a in a kind of kind way but a lot of people are there is a school of thought among some people that are that think think the play-by-play in the color commentator is almost an overstated importance job because people are watching the game people want to see the game and I understand that in in a lot of instances in a lot of instances I think it doesn't matter who's calling the game we're watching the game but I found myself just in this interview being like Oh I really want to learn about how he processed and how his mind works when it comes to playing the quarterback position and the stuff he was saying about the how he would react to a different defensive look and the pregame prep that it took all of that and it made me super excited for to hear him in real time to watch a football game and get to see because this is and now I'm going to be self-important you're going to laugh at me I think I really I think I am an elite football Watcher and by that I mean I think I am top 1% in the world at watching a game and noticing things like oh I think that guy might have just tweak something oh I think they miss spotted the all of it yeah and to be able to see watch a game that and that Tom's watching and commenting on and see how many times like what he said like oh I was thinking something similar or I had that wrong I'm really excited for it like I am I do think it is a massive it is having you know the we've had we had Magic Johnson call NBA games but it wasn't really his strength like having someone like that and I'm gonna add one other thing I also think a uniqueness of it is so much of his superpower was his processing so less about I was able to do it because like I'll use Terry I know Terry doesn't call games anyone that's ever been in a room with Terry Bradshaw it's like oh a lot of the reason you're Terry Bradshaw is because I don't know how old he is but even at this age you could kick everybody's ass in this room except for Howe long like you are a big strong in you know the and but so much of Tom is I out thought out prepared so I and I that came across in the 30 minutes you spent with him I was worried you were going to take the interview into the first hour first things first I didn't think you were ever going to break I was like we might not be on the on the air today boys yeah no it's I I kind of feel like um this sounds weird but every time I interview Tom um I feel it's a chapter so I I tried to stay today because I'm GNA interview him several more times I tried to stay in his I I talked a lot about process today about broadcasting number one receivers offensive line so I wanted him to talk about process today as the season comes Upon Us it'll be more about the game the moment uh but I like today today I all I thought about was I I want to introduce Tom how he thinks to the audience this is a processed day and he just tends to be the best processed athlete have we have we've ever had yeah um so [Music]
