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 so um you know it it's I had Tom Brady on this week yeah Tommy was good he was good and um he's really um I I found people like Tom um because everybody is wants a piece of Tom like when you get to the that big and um and I know somebody that has that knows uh you know President Barack Obama former president pretty well and it's the same trait they both have the same trait is that um you know everybody wants a picture everybody wants to say hi I remember this game is he the most famous NFL player ever PR by a wide margin you think at this point in time I think so yeah yeah Tom is really uh very very normal um and it's it's really interesting how efficient he is in social situations like he like he meets you it's eye to eye he responds very cordial very human very personable and then you know he he he's escorted didn't come with a big entourage but it was really interesting to watch him uh Tom is is a uh highly functional very normal really incredibly thoughtful guy and as I sat there for the interview he has a personality trait that I've always admired in people anything you asked Tom about football anything I was throwing these goofy theories I have oh he's thought about it and I I've said this before in my life um one of the people a couple of the people that are involved with the volume um and one of the reasons I was always impressed with people that I included in this company is when you ask somebody about you know media and they have an answer because I'm obsessed by Not Just Sports but by the business of sports and so I think about stuff all the time that I don't talk about but I just think about it and it was really impressive to me that Brady I'm throwing zany theories at him and Tom's literally he's thought of everything and I think he'll be a very good broadcaster like like a player I think he'll just get better and better and better and better because he's very Harden himself did you take anything away from the interview that was kind of my take that Tom's just literally thought of everything it's about 120 degrees here so I was in the pool uh a couple hours ago and you have a lot of time in the pool you're just kind of thinking I was thinking about the most famous athletes I would say the last 25 years you obviously Michael would probably be number one tiger would be right up there and I think both those even what LeBron is now they do struggle when they're just in a situation like that to feel relatable I mean Michael Michael never has Tiger's gotten a little better I think with his child he can be a little calmer LeBron is just in his own little world just because that's the way it's been for 20 plus years I would put Payton in this category too both those two guys can be in a situation like that and you go I'd like to have a beer with that guy and yeah they are you would never say that about Michael Jackson or Leonardo CI like the level of Fame and Tom's higher than pton but I is it crazy and I've always said that Tom and Payton were the magic and Larry of of my generation what they meant for the NFL and Tom's just a very very unique person if just to sit like that I looked at some of the YouTube comments because I watched the the interview on YouTube and everyone's like how likable is this guy and I think it gets back to the sport how one he went to whatever the high level of education is in America he went to the equivalent in New England for 20 years with Bill I mean is it should any ofse be shocked that all those former Patriots when you hear them talk football can do it at a really high level from Matt like to Edelman to even gron when he's not screwing around I mean they've just been inundated with this but they were all held in the same level and there's a there's a humility because you didn't have a choice and right most of their teams were not super stacked the teams that were didn't win the Super Bowl like I mean their core Julian Edelman was their best wide receiver like Julian Edelman I love the guy but he's never going to Canton or anything and I I just think Tom it gets back to his family how he was grown up this is what people are looking for obviously his success you're not looking for that when you draft a player but his love of football how good he is with other people how much he cares like these traits that he displays and pton does this too is like everything you look for when you draft a player I mean he's the highest level he's like the Mena whatever it becomes but I I I just find him very easy to listen to and let's face it most people that are like Michael Jordan is not like that right because usually how could Tom relate to anybody but he is able to do that he transitioned to Tampa and it was like everyone loved him it was like the practice squad guys like he's taking pictures with my kid the star players are like he's the coolest guy we've ever been around it's just a trait that not many people have I Mahomes clearly has that they have that going in Kansas City right now where everyone yes obviously some people make more money some people have more Fame Travis Kelce has it I I know he does I mean the way that they view him and it's just think about think about mahomes's life he's got a brother that makes the news he's got a wife who wants to be a star he's got young yeah he's got young kids he's the best football player on the planet he's the face of a franchise he's got 38 endorsements and he is just in a good mood I mean you watch him on that Netflix thing he is able to compartmentalized like I've never seen in my life some people John some people just have it momes has got wackiness and neediness and maintenance around him none of it bothers him you know the other thing is you know college football once you get to like Ohio State this year over under in their regular season how many tight games they're going to be in when you put it at probably two like they're going to be so much better or Georgia they might be in two or three big games in the NFL Thomas been saying this for 25 years and every player does you better come correct every single week like I don't get to just mail it in obviously with that franchise how hard bill was on everybody but you will get beat by a four- win team beats a couple playoff teams right so when Tom was talking about how serious he prepared he never knew he never take an opponent like he never took a series off like you got to be careful in the preparation that you were ready for in the first quarter might not show till late in the game and all of a sudden you're tied against a four- win team and it's it might be on Monday Night Football it might be their Super Bowl and I think that's what the NFL has that the other sports don't like I'm playing the Lakers in February win or lose whatever who cares you know In fairness they got 82 games or baseball every baseball game tonight we're recording this on Thursday does any do any of them matter do any of them actually matter today's game they just don't but every Sunday it does because it could be the difference of winning your division not making a wild card I mean it's getting fired keeping your job well think about this think about the parody in the NFL there there's there's there's about 10 awful teams in baseball 10 awful teams in the NBA take out New England it's a bad football team and I imagine the Giants are not going to be pretty Carolina I do think will be much improved and their schedule boy it's a it's it's got some potential wins there you got about two teams that I think feel kind of hopeless um I think the Raiders are talented I just don't know rookie coach Gardner muu so let's say three teams that it could be pretty Scrappy but I mean if Minnesota is a fourth place team I think they have one of the best young coaches one of the best left tackles the best wide receiver a top back a top tight end Edge rusher is better than you think that's a fourth place team a fourth fifth place team in baseball or the NBA like Detroit is not even they can't score nobody can shoot they have no shooters I think the thing you forget about Minnesota they also they add an edge rusher they also drafted one remember they had two first round picks JJ and and the kid from Alabama so yeah I I I just think anytime and you've been around football your whole life it's unlike any of these other sports and to M to do it over a long period of time you've just been humbled so many times even if you're Tom I mean Tom's had some of the most historic losses in league history right lost to the Giants twice I mean those are he had an undefeated team in the Super Bowl so for all his 28 to3 they did not lose a game and a lot of those were not close and then Eli got him again and then the eagles with Nick freaking fos beat him when he threw for 500 yards so yeah I just think he's a unique character and the communication which clearly you know resonates and comes through when he sits down with you I just think it's cool obviously got a lot of money but he's got a lot of money already it's pretty cool that he wants to do this I I I just think that we don't get very often like is LeBron ever calling a game on one of these networks one day no chance yeah right so it's just is Patrick Mahomes probably not you know so I I I think it's it's going to be a very very cool experience and like everything and it comes through when he's talking to you he takes this very seriously because he takes everything very seriously yeah [Music]
