“There was a story in free agency – and one of the teams, they were
interested,” Brady said. “And all of a sudden they weren’t interested
in the very end. I was sitting there thinking, ‘You’re sticking with
that motherf-ker? Are you serious?'”
“Looking back, I’m thinking ‘There’s no fuc-ing way I would’ve gone
to that team. They said they didn’t want me! I know what that means! I
know what that feels like! And I’m going to f— you up because of that.”

Tom Brady said his career is coming to the end. Also added that the 10-
year Super Bowl drought gave him perspective on winning.
“So much for me is about having perspective,” Brady said. “After a
while, you go ‘Holy s—. How did that happen?’ There were times where,
yeah I was young and really enjoyed the moment of sports.
“After we won our third Super Bowl, I was really young. I was 25 and
made some comment like ‘Man, maybe there’s more to life than this.’
And then we didn’t win a Super Bowl for 10 years and I was like ‘F*ck!
This is really hard.’
“The next time we won the Super Bowl was the most amazing experience of
my life because I had perspective of not doing well and taking it for
granted when it did go well and then realizing at this moment, ‘Oh my
God. That was impossible.'”

Celebrating a Super Bowl win in February is obviously different in Tampa
Bay than it is in Boston. Brady reflected on the boat parade, which
included the trophy toss.
“It was fun,”“I had been in the Northeast for 20 years. So it’s like
freezing cold when we won and it was like 38 (degrees). We were freezing
by the end of the parade you're like, ‘Get me home!’
“This one we’re on a boat. It’s 85 degrees. We’re drinking tequila
all day. I’ve got the Super Bowl trophy in my hand. I’m in my boat.
Chelsea’s where the other boat is and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m going to
throw it to my boys over there.’ So I throw it and the bottom of this
trophy is sharp. It could’ve gone so bad.”

“What I say and what I think are two different things,” Brady said. “
I would say 90 percent of what I say is not what I’m thinking, which is
challenging. I really admire people that actually can do that and say
what they think because they invite a lot of other things. I think
there’s part of me that doesn’t like conflict. So in the end, I always
try to play it super flat.
“From a strategic standpoint, I never want to give away what I’m doing.
I usually say the opposite. If they got a shitty corner, I’ll say,
‘That guy's unbelievable. I don’t know how they can complete balls over
there.’ And in my mind, I’m thinking, ‘I’m going to go at that mother
fuc*er all day.’ I don’t want to give them anything.
“When it comes to other things, there’s part of it that’s giving
people your power. Like, why can Chelsea (Handler) say something that
can affect me that in my view it shouldn’t or however based on what you
say. I try to think a lot before I speak.
“Some people, like my wife for example, she just lets it come out. It's
like vroom and it’s out. I’m like, ‘Oh s—.’ And she’s right. Her
instincts and her nature is usually right with a lot of things that she
says and thinks. I’m like ‘How does she do that?’ Because I’ve got
to think about it for five or 10 minutes and think this particular
situation or answer. I don’t want to say something in the end where I'm
like, ‘Ah, wish I said something different.'”

Tennis star Naomi Osaka made headlines recently for dropping out of the
French Open after getting fined for skipping a press conference due to
her mental health. Brady shared empathy for her situation.
“You feel for the 22-year-olds that are in the position that – look,
there's a lot of things happening in their life,”“We all go through
things. I went through a lot of things in my late teens, early 20s. I
didn’t know how to deal with a lot of things that were coming because
there was no training guide for how to deal with what was happening in
my life.
“Now as someone that’s twice her age, you have compassion and empathy
for that. You hope that she can deal with that because you wouldn't want
that to take away from her true joy of playing tennis. You don’t want
something like that taking away from what her joy should be.”
“Like Marshawn Lynch, that was the most beautiful thing saying, ‘I’m
just here so I won’t get fined.’ I mean, he put no mental energy into
any question and he didn’t get fined for that.”“It’s a very hard
thing to do, I wish I could just go, ‘I’m just here so I won’t get
fined.’ I’ve said that 50 times! I’ve never done it. One day I'll do
it before I retire.”
“I think I’m in an enterprise and I’m an employee of that enterprise.”
“I'm not my own entrepreneur who can make my own individual choices. I
think I’ll get there at some point where I can and I’ll choose to. But
you’re still in a structured system. So you still feel like you’ve got
to play – at least I feel like – by their rules. There’s definitely
times where you don’t want to play by the rules.”
