00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:20,103
{\an8}[announcer] Good evening
and welcome to the 2014 NFL Draft.
2
00:00:20,103 --> 00:00:21,855
[crowd cheers]
3
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:27,986
With the 67th pick in the 2014 NFL draft,
4
00:00:28,946 --> 00:00:31,490
your New England
and my New England Patriots...
5
00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:34,076
[crowd cheers]
6
00:00:34,076 --> 00:00:37,287
...select Jimmy Garoppolo.
7
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:40,290
Quarterback, Eastern Illinois.
8
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:44,336
[announcer]
Wow. Talk to me, Mike, talk to me.
9
00:00:44,336 --> 00:00:48,215
[Mike Florio] This kid's got
a quick release, big arm, very athletic.
10
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:51,635
Interesting position to get taken
by the New England Patriots
11
00:00:51,635 --> 00:00:54,137
with Tom Brady at his age.
12
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:56,390
[announcer 2]
To draft a quarterback that high,
13
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:59,935
Tom Brady has a reason
to be a little bit miffed.
14
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:03,480
{\an8}[Robert Kraft] Jimmy.
15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,734
Congratulations.
Great to have you part of our squad.
16
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:12,281
Right after we make the pick,
I think to myself, "Wow."
17
00:01:12,281 --> 00:01:18,620
{\an8}This was a big move, and it was
a statement from Bill Belichick.
18
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,581
[camera shutters click]
19
00:01:20,581 --> 00:01:23,959
[Tom Curran] The drafting of Jimmy
Garoppolo was a little eye-widening,
20
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,170
especially for Tom Brady.
21
00:01:26,712 --> 00:01:30,424
{\an8}Brady was basically already on record
as saying, "I'm going to play infinitely."
22
00:01:30,424 --> 00:01:32,301
He had every intention of sticking around.
23
00:01:32,885 --> 00:01:35,345
Why would you draft a quarterback?
24
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:37,222
You know the situation,
we have a quarterback.
25
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:39,892
I think that we felt as an organization
26
00:01:39,892 --> 00:01:43,645
that we needed to, uh,
address that to some degree in the future.
27
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:45,981
So, we'll see how all that works out.
28
00:01:45,981 --> 00:01:47,900
Uh, but...
29
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,445
I think you're better off being early
rather than late with that position.
30
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:55,657
[reporter] Bill, are you referring to
making sure you have a backup in place?
31
00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:58,577
Or making sure
you have a successor in place?
32
00:01:58,577 --> 00:02:00,037
Well, you know, I mean, yeah, uh,
33
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:02,915
you know what Tom's age
and contract situation is.
34
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:08,294
[Belichick] Look, age is age.
35
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:12,674
{\an8}I mean, as a coach and somebody who's,
you know, responsible for an organization,
36
00:02:12,674 --> 00:02:14,468
it's trying to do
what's best for the team,
37
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:16,762
and that's what I've always tried to do.
38
00:02:16,762 --> 00:02:18,096
Thanks.
39
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:22,142
You know, I think Bill thought
Tommy was starting to lose it.
40
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:26,939
I remember
Bill used to show me different statistics.
41
00:02:26,939 --> 00:02:32,945
Tommy's throws over 20 yards
were ranked near the lowest in the league,
42
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:36,782
and Bill said,
"We have to be ready to move on."
43
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:40,827
[Curran] Belichick was planning
for the exit strategy,
44
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:44,873
and Brady immediately saw
what he had built here.
45
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:47,543
Suddenly on a lot shakier ground
than he thought it was on.
46
00:02:47,543 --> 00:02:49,211
[crowd cheers]
47
00:02:49,211 --> 00:02:51,588
[analyst] One thing he has feared
for a long time
48
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:55,008
is anyone taking a snap instead of him.
49
00:02:55,008 --> 00:02:59,096
[analyst 2] Brady's worried Garoppolo's
gonna take his job at some point.
50
00:02:59,096 --> 00:03:02,850
[Kraft] I think after
that Jimmy Garoppolo draft,
51
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:07,229
the tension
between Bill and Tom increased.
52
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:13,277
I think it was a turning point
in their overall relationship dynamic.
53
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:33,505
{\an8}[reporter] New England Patriots on the
field for the first day of training camp.
54
00:03:33,505 --> 00:03:36,175
{\an8}The countdown
to the pre-season officially on,
55
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:39,136
and the fans were out in full force
to cheer them on.
56
00:03:39,136 --> 00:03:42,848
[reporter 2] The Patriots ready to rumble
at the first day of training camp.
57
00:03:42,848 --> 00:03:46,226
The team is preparing for the start
of the season without Tom Brady.
58
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:50,314
He will be missing the first four games
to serve his Deflategate suspension.
59
00:03:50,314 --> 00:03:53,025
[reporter 3] Tom Brady,
who some say is the NFL's Golden Boy,
60
00:03:53,025 --> 00:03:55,027
now with a more dubious distinction.
61
00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:59,323
One of the highest profile players
ever suspended in NFL history.
62
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:03,911
[Nora Princiotti] In 2016,
63
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:08,457
Brady was going to be suspended
for the first month of the season.
64
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:12,294
But he was at training camp.
65
00:04:13,212 --> 00:04:17,173
He'd been through this questionable
series of events with Deflategate.
66
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,346
There was a sense that Belichick
had thrown him under the bus.
67
00:04:22,346 --> 00:04:27,518
And now Jimmy Garoppolo had an
opportunity to show what he had to offer.
68
00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:31,772
{\an8}So there were a lot of angles
from which it was a little bit...
69
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:33,065
{\an8}tense.
70
00:04:33,065 --> 00:04:36,026
[reporter] First practice
of training camp for the Pats.
71
00:04:36,026 --> 00:04:37,611
Over 12,000 fans came out.
72
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:40,280
Everyone trying to get a look
at Jimmy Garoppolo.
73
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,657
[reporter 2] All eyes on the QBs
74
00:04:41,657 --> 00:04:44,117
as Jimmy G gets prepared
to start the season opener.
75
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:47,079
[Danny Amendola]
I remember that training camp,
76
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,164
{\an8}they were trying
to get Jimmy ready to play.
77
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:52,876
{\an8}And, you know, they were
splitting reps up in camp.
78
00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:54,336
[Jimmy Garoppolo] Hut! Hut!
79
00:04:54,336 --> 00:04:56,088
[players call out]
80
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:01,593
- [fans cheer]
- [whooping]
81
00:05:01,593 --> 00:05:03,762
[fan] Way to go, Jimmy!
82
00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:07,808
[Amendola] I could feel
the tension with Tom.
83
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:10,269
- [whistle blows]
- [coach] All right, switch sides.
84
00:05:10,269 --> 00:05:13,730
[Amendola] With all the noise,
you know, is he too old?
85
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:16,066
They drafted his replacement.
86
00:05:16,066 --> 00:05:18,151
You know, he got suspended.
87
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,945
It pissed him off.
You know what I'm saying?
88
00:05:19,945 --> 00:05:22,656
[reporter] Have you thought about how
excruciating those four games will be?
89
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:25,325
Or are you just trying to
keep that out of your mind?
90
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,787
{\an8}I try to, you know,
just be as positive as I can be,
91
00:05:28,787 --> 00:05:31,498
- in whatever role that I'm asked.
- [reporters clamor]
92
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:34,960
[reporter 2]
How did Jimmy Garoppolo look to you?
93
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,629
- Thank you, guys.
- [reporter 3] Thank you, Tom.
94
00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:40,340
Is Tom giving you any more advice
than usual knowing that you're starting?
95
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,009
{\an8}Uh, no, not much has changed.
96
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:44,553
{\an8}You know, uh,
we just go about our business.
97
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:47,139
{\an8}Coaches coach us
and we just go out there and play.
98
00:05:47,139 --> 00:05:48,807
[reporter 3] Whether today or previously,
99
00:05:48,807 --> 00:05:51,310
what's the best advice
Tom has ever given you?
100
00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:52,269
Uh...
101
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:53,979
That's a tough one.
102
00:05:53,979 --> 00:05:56,648
- I'll have to get back to you on that.
- What sticks with you?
103
00:05:56,648 --> 00:05:57,941
[Garoppolo] Hut!
104
00:05:59,276 --> 00:06:01,987
[Curran] The impact of Garoppolo
was felt, I think,
105
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:04,072
throughout the Brady circle.
106
00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:07,910
I remember clearly having
someone very close to Brady say,
107
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:11,872
"When he returns from his suspension,
Tom will destroy him."
108
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:13,332
[Garoppolo] Hut!
109
00:06:13,332 --> 00:06:17,127
[Curran] But there was an awful lot to
like about Jimmy Garoppolo's game.
110
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:19,588
[fans cheer]
111
00:06:19,588 --> 00:06:24,468
[Princiotti] Jimmy Garoppolo
was very confident, unflappable.
112
00:06:25,135 --> 00:06:29,473
Also, let's be very honest,
Jimmy Garoppolo is a very handsome man.
113
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:34,019
Seeing him play at training camp,
114
00:06:34,019 --> 00:06:37,689
he seemed like a guy
who was ready to take over.
115
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:41,026
[cheering]
116
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:47,783
Let's go!
117
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:52,204
[Al Michaels] Jimmy Garoppolo
will make his first start,
118
00:06:52,204 --> 00:06:56,166
without Tom Brady, who is eligible
to return in their fifth game.
119
00:06:57,084 --> 00:07:00,045
{\an8}[Cris Collinsworth] The quick scouting
report on Garoppolo is he's athletic,
120
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:03,090
he gets rid of the ball quickly,
moves well in the pocket,
121
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:06,343
but none of this really matters
until we see him do it in a real game.
122
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:09,096
Let's go get some points now, huh?
123
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:10,764
Let's go get some points.
124
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,517
[Michaels] Third and 15.
125
00:07:14,226 --> 00:07:16,144
Full decibel from the crowd.
126
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:18,355
[crowd cheers]
127
00:07:18,355 --> 00:07:22,484
[Michaels] Shoulder shake and again,
and Garoppolo fires downfield,
128
00:07:22,484 --> 00:07:26,321
and getting open and making the catch
is Danny Amendola.
129
00:07:26,321 --> 00:07:28,323
[Collinsworth] How fantastic was that?
130
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:31,535
The mobility scrambled around,
bought some time.
131
00:07:31,535 --> 00:07:35,080
[Amendola] Jimmy came in in Arizona
to start the season off.
132
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,250
He had been preparing really hard,
and he was ready to go.
133
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:40,210
- [grunts]
- [cheering]
134
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:45,007
I think everybody was very happy with,
you know, Jimmy's, you know, performance.
135
00:07:46,258 --> 00:07:48,635
[Michaels] Short drop,
and then down the sideline,
136
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:51,680
getting open is Chris Hogan
for the touchdown.
137
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,932
[crowd cheers]
138
00:07:53,932 --> 00:07:56,977
{\an8}I remember the way our team responded
139
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:58,520
{\an8}and rallied around Jimmy.
140
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,689
- [coaches cheer]
- Yeah, baby!
141
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:02,941
[Slater] The excitement, the enthusiasm.
142
00:08:03,817 --> 00:08:07,613
It was almost like we had won
a playoff game, but it was week one.
143
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,116
[Collinsworth] And for Jimmy Garoppolo,
how's that?
144
00:08:11,116 --> 00:08:15,871
They come in against a very tough
Arizona team here and get it done.
145
00:08:15,871 --> 00:08:17,998
[Michaels] Twenty-three to twenty-one.
146
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:20,000
[Princiotti] That was a big win.
147
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,085
Week one, prime time game.
148
00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:25,756
So, to see them not miss a beat,
149
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:28,091
a lot of people watching were thinking,
150
00:08:28,091 --> 00:08:31,303
"Hey, Jimmy's got
a little something something."
151
00:08:32,179 --> 00:08:35,390
[reporter] Clearly, Belichick fell
in love with Jimmy G as a young player.
152
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:38,809
He really likes him, I think,
as a person, loves him as a prospect.
153
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:41,813
[reporter 2] I think they got to,
at least, glimpse the future.
154
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:44,316
I loved what I saw from Garoppolo.
155
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:49,821
That was a great job. Where is he?
156
00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:51,448
He's still... [indistinct]
157
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:54,117
- Oh, fuck!
- [laughter]
158
00:08:54,117 --> 00:08:56,745
[all cheer]
159
00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:03,085
That's great. Thank you. Thank you.
160
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:05,754
- [players whistle and cheer]
- Let's go!
161
00:09:05,754 --> 00:09:07,798
Bring it up! Bring it up!
162
00:09:07,798 --> 00:09:09,883
[all cheer]
163
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,511
This was a great team win.
Let's build that up for next week.
164
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:14,930
Let's fucking go. Team on three.
One, two, three!
165
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:17,850
- [players] Team!
- [all cheer]
166
00:09:18,809 --> 00:09:21,854
Great job, man. Great job, man.
That's a tough place to play.
167
00:09:21,854 --> 00:09:24,731
- It's a tough place to play.
- Jesus. It was a good one.
168
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:27,109
[players chatter]
169
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:29,319
[Max Kellerman]
Let me start by saying...
170
00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:31,071
Tom Brady's just about done.
171
00:09:32,114 --> 00:09:36,034
It could be his next game he plays.
It could be a year from now,
172
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:39,329
but he is going to fall off a cliff.
173
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:42,583
Tom Brady is going to be a bum
in short order.
174
00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:44,877
- Hold up.
- [Kellerman] Yeah.
175
00:09:44,877 --> 00:09:50,299
Did you just say
that Tom Brady is just about done?
176
00:09:50,299 --> 00:09:52,467
Unless you believe
that he is somehow superhuman.
177
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:58,223
No quarterback ever has played much beyond
where he is now at a high level.
178
00:10:00,017 --> 00:10:02,144
[Tom Brady] That was a really tough time.
179
00:10:02,144 --> 00:10:04,479
I was suspended, I was away from the team.
180
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:06,648
{\an8}You know, you're not always...
181
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,318
{\an8}agree with the cards
that are dealt, but...
182
00:10:09,318 --> 00:10:10,777
{\an8}I had to deal with it.
183
00:10:11,904 --> 00:10:14,072
{\an8}[reporter] We now know
what he will be doing
184
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:15,908
{\an8}during one of the weekends in September.
185
00:10:15,908 --> 00:10:19,953
Brady will head back to Ann Arbor
to serve as honorary captain for Michigan
186
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:22,539
when the Wolverines host Colorado.
187
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:27,294
Brady played for Michigan
from 1995 through 1999.
188
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:31,548
[announcer] Please welcome back
number ten, Tom Brady!
189
00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:33,717
[cheering]
190
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:37,054
[Brady] It'd been a long time since I'd
been back to Ann Arbor. Everyone said,
191
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:38,847
"How many times you get back to Michigan?"
192
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:42,392
I'm like, "I play in the fall every year.
I never get a chance to go back."
193
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:46,939
[Princiotti] When Brady went to Michigan
during the suspension,
194
00:10:46,939 --> 00:10:50,192
I remember it being a little... interesting.
195
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:54,530
He'd had a little bit of
a rocky relationship with the school,
196
00:10:54,530 --> 00:10:57,407
because he felt a little bit like,
197
00:10:57,407 --> 00:11:00,369
"Man, you guys didn't always
roll out the red carpet for me
198
00:11:00,369 --> 00:11:02,371
when I was here
working my butt off for you."
199
00:11:04,289 --> 00:11:05,999
You know, this is the Brady story.
200
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,254
He's had to constantly
prove everybody wrong.
201
00:11:13,215 --> 00:11:14,466
[whistle blows]
202
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:19,555
{\an8}All right, go! Come on, Brady. Hurry up!
203
00:11:19,555 --> 00:11:22,015
Quit standing over there bullshitting
and get warmed up.
204
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:26,103
When I first got to Michigan,
you know, I got beat up a little bit.
205
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:30,315
It was a tough experience.
The competition was fierce.
206
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:33,735
You know, shit,
I didn't know if I'd play or not.
207
00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:36,530
Slow yourself down. Lift up your legs.
208
00:11:36,530 --> 00:11:39,449
[Jay Flannelly] Tommy and I were
classmates in Michigan. I remember,
209
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:43,620
{\an8}I met this skinny, tall, goofy kid
from California.
210
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:46,498
And, immediately,
I was struck by how nice a guy he was.
211
00:11:46,498 --> 00:11:49,418
He was very friendly, and he was tall.
212
00:11:49,418 --> 00:11:51,795
I always like to have tall friends,
'cause I'm not tall.
213
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,593
He was the 7th-string quarterback,
so there was no hype with Tommy back then.
214
00:11:57,593 --> 00:12:01,513
Nobody knew who he was.
But Tommy just worked hard at it.
215
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:06,268
And after a while, after like three years,
he finally won the job
216
00:12:06,268 --> 00:12:09,062
- and became the starting quarterback.
- [cheering]
217
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:13,525
{\an8}[announcer] Senior quarterback
Tom Brady brings the Wolverines out.
218
00:12:13,525 --> 00:12:16,612
{\an8}[announcer 2] He's a fifth-year senior,
so he's paid his dues.
219
00:12:16,612 --> 00:12:20,866
His teammates really appreciate him
and they made him one of their captains.
220
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:23,368
[Brady] My teammates made me captain,
which showed me,
221
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:25,746
"Tom, we believe in you.
You're our leader."
222
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:32,252
But the coach wanted, you know,
this other guy to succeed, Drew Henson.
223
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:35,214
[analyst] There's Drew Henson.
It's a tough decision.
224
00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:38,217
You've got two
very qualified quarterbacks.
225
00:12:39,051 --> 00:12:41,136
[Brady] He was a great player,
great athlete.
226
00:12:41,136 --> 00:12:43,555
I mean, faster than I was,
stronger, quicker.
227
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:46,350
More elusive. You know, better arm.
228
00:12:46,350 --> 00:12:49,061
Coach Carr said, "All right, Tom,
you're gonna start the games.
229
00:12:49,061 --> 00:12:51,647
Drew's gonna come in
and play from time to time."
230
00:12:51,647 --> 00:12:53,690
And he said he was going
to go with the hot-hand.
231
00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:55,275
{\an8}Who's our starting quarterback?
232
00:12:56,026 --> 00:12:57,361
{\an8}What time's the game?
233
00:12:58,737 --> 00:13:00,030
{\an8}Three-thirty?
234
00:13:00,030 --> 00:13:01,573
{\an8}You'll see then.
235
00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:03,492
[announcer] We've got Drew Henson.
236
00:13:03,492 --> 00:13:08,163
Fires, first down.
You talk about a rifle arm.
237
00:13:08,914 --> 00:13:12,000
He'd come in and everyone was screaming,
"Drew Henson, Drew Henson."
238
00:13:12,835 --> 00:13:14,878
That was a really tough experience.
239
00:13:17,005 --> 00:13:20,717
[Flannelly] I'll never forget
one of the media days at Michigan.
240
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:23,345
All the players go out
and they sign autographs for the fans.
241
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:24,805
It's all going on the football field.
242
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:30,561
Drew Henson had a line
from the end zone to the 50-yard line
243
00:13:30,561 --> 00:13:32,729
of people to sign autographs for.
244
00:13:34,189 --> 00:13:37,609
Tommy, I think, in an hour,
and I sat with him most of it,
245
00:13:37,609 --> 00:13:40,237
I think he signed
less than five autographs.
246
00:13:40,237 --> 00:13:42,406
One of them was my niece.
247
00:13:42,406 --> 00:13:47,077
And the best part of this thing is
Tom is watching the line with Drew Henson.
248
00:13:48,787 --> 00:13:49,997
And if you know...
249
00:13:49,997 --> 00:13:52,916
We've probably talked about
the Tom Brady look of death.
250
00:13:53,709 --> 00:13:56,587
This was the birth
of the Tom Brady look of death.
251
00:13:56,587 --> 00:13:58,797
[crowd cheers]
252
00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:02,426
[announcer] The crowd now recognizing
the fact Henson has come on the field.
253
00:14:06,221 --> 00:14:10,142
Tom Brady, man, it's got to hurt him
to come out of a game like this.
254
00:14:10,142 --> 00:14:12,269
He doesn't look like a happy camper.
255
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:18,859
This is a player
who has felt overlooked his entire life.
256
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:24,239
From college to the way he'd been drafted.
257
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:26,950
Brady will never be over
258
00:14:26,950 --> 00:14:30,787
feeling like the guy
who didn't get picked.
259
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:33,749
[crowd chants]
260
00:14:40,047 --> 00:14:41,924
[reporter] It's the week
we've been waiting for.
261
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:45,552
Week five of the NFL season marks
the return of Tom Brady at quarterback.
262
00:14:45,552 --> 00:14:49,223
[analyst] Are you surprised
at a 39-year-old being able to do this?
263
00:14:49,223 --> 00:14:51,600
You know, when is Father Time
gonna catch up with him?
264
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,561
[announcer] I mean,
is Tom Brady in his first game back,
265
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,731
after claiming he was unfairly punished,
266
00:14:57,731 --> 00:15:01,151
is that guy
who has seen the team go 3 and 1
267
00:15:01,151 --> 00:15:02,986
and hear things about Garoppolo,
268
00:15:02,986 --> 00:15:05,113
that he's the quarterback of the future...
269
00:15:05,113 --> 00:15:08,075
Is that Tom Brady gonna be motivated?
270
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:09,326
Yeah.
271
00:15:09,326 --> 00:15:11,328
[cheering]
272
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,331
Let's go.
273
00:15:14,331 --> 00:15:16,792
[crowd jeers]
274
00:15:18,085 --> 00:15:19,336
Loser!
275
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:20,629
Cheater!
276
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:24,007
Cheater! You stink!
277
00:15:24,883 --> 00:15:28,387
From my standpoint,
I was pretty intent on,
278
00:15:28,387 --> 00:15:31,390
you know, going to earn it again
and prove it.
279
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:34,810
Don't argue, just go do it.
We'll show 'em.
280
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:36,979
Let's get this shit, fellas!
281
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:40,315
[Princiotti] The fact that he felt like
the league was out to get him.
282
00:15:40,315 --> 00:15:41,567
Cheater!
283
00:15:41,567 --> 00:15:43,735
[Princiotti] Everybody outside
of Boston hated him even more.
284
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,488
[man] Look at him! What a pompous moron!
285
00:15:46,488 --> 00:15:48,740
[Princiotti] This is a part
of his identity.
286
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:51,910
You can check the footballs
and the air pressure all you want.
287
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:55,914
It's not gonna matter.
We're here to win. Not going anywhere.
288
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:58,041
[roars]
289
00:15:59,251 --> 00:16:03,672
[Princiotti] That season,
it was like a song from Taylor Swift.
290
00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:07,801
He was like, "Look what you made me do."
291
00:16:09,386 --> 00:16:11,263
[Brady] It was an FEA year.
292
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:14,183
[producer] FEA?
293
00:16:14,183 --> 00:16:16,727
Fuck 'em all, baby.
Said that for a long time.
294
00:16:16,727 --> 00:16:18,228
They're not pulling for us anyway.
295
00:16:18,353 --> 00:16:20,606
["Look What You Made Me Do"
by Taylor Swift playing]
296
00:16:20,606 --> 00:16:24,234
[announcer] Brady, throws deep
down field and connects with Chris Hogan.
297
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:26,486
Brady, throwing at the goal line.
Touchdown.
298
00:16:27,196 --> 00:16:30,282
[Stephen A Smith] This dude
is on another level to begin with.
299
00:16:30,282 --> 00:16:32,826
I'm scared as hell of Brady right now.
300
00:16:33,577 --> 00:16:37,080
[song continues]
301
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,291
[Amendola] You can tell
he was fucking angry.
302
00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:42,336
Let's go, baby!
Let's go win this motherfucker, huh?
303
00:16:42,336 --> 00:16:45,255
And we're like,
the king is back. Here he goes.
304
00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:47,382
Watch him fucking get pissed off and go.
305
00:16:48,091 --> 00:16:50,135
[song continues]
306
00:16:50,135 --> 00:16:51,678
[announcer] A perfect throw by Brady.
307
00:16:51,678 --> 00:16:54,848
[Howard Bryant] Don't underestimate
someone who's got something to prove.
308
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:58,352
Somebody playing with
a certain anger level, a certain fury.
309
00:16:58,352 --> 00:17:00,437
[announcer]
Corner of the end zone, touchdown.
310
00:17:00,437 --> 00:17:03,357
{\an8}A certain need for recompense.
311
00:17:03,357 --> 00:17:04,566
[man] Cheater!
312
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:06,151
Brady sucks!
313
00:17:06,151 --> 00:17:10,239
[announcer] Tom throws down the left seam
for Gronkowski, into the end zone.
314
00:17:11,406 --> 00:17:13,700
Good job, TB! Good shit!
315
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:15,577
What a throw!
316
00:17:15,577 --> 00:17:18,413
[Slater] During that season,
Tom was unbelievable.
317
00:17:18,413 --> 00:17:20,082
[Brady] Fucking assholes.
318
00:17:20,082 --> 00:17:22,584
End these fucking assholes' season.
319
00:17:22,584 --> 00:17:25,045
[Slater] But Coach Belichick
being Coach Belichick,
320
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:28,298
held Tom to even a higher standard
than everyone else.
321
00:17:28,298 --> 00:17:30,676
[reporter] Your expectations,
did he play above that?
322
00:17:30,676 --> 00:17:32,511
Or about what you expected?
323
00:17:32,511 --> 00:17:36,098
Our expectations are to come out here
and perform well as a team and win.
324
00:17:36,098 --> 00:17:39,351
Do I think Tom felt disrespected?
Uh, yeah, I think so.
325
00:17:40,394 --> 00:17:42,312
I don't think I would want
to be treated differently,
326
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:45,190
but I would expect
a certain level of respect.
327
00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:47,568
Especially as a grown man.
328
00:17:48,652 --> 00:17:50,904
But what that does for Tom Brady,
329
00:17:50,904 --> 00:17:55,701
that's gonna add fire
to an already burning inferno.
330
00:17:57,536 --> 00:18:00,873
[announcer] Welcome to Foxborough
for this AFC divisional playoff.
331
00:18:00,873 --> 00:18:04,168
Brady, left foot forward.
Lobs a throw to the end zone.
332
00:18:04,168 --> 00:18:05,627
Touchdown!
333
00:18:05,627 --> 00:18:10,090
The Patriots are on their way to a sixth
straight AFC Championship game.
334
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:12,718
[song ends]
335
00:18:12,718 --> 00:18:13,886
[staff member] Great job.
336
00:18:13,886 --> 00:18:16,054
- We're going to the champ!
- Hell, yeah.
337
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:17,264
Yeah, good shit, man.
338
00:18:17,264 --> 00:18:19,474
[players chatter]
339
00:18:22,728 --> 00:18:26,148
All right, men,
so we're just telling you now,
340
00:18:26,148 --> 00:18:28,817
we're gonna have to play a lot better
than that next time we play.
341
00:18:28,817 --> 00:18:33,030
We meet at one o'clock on Tuesday
and then we'll watch this game, which,
342
00:18:33,030 --> 00:18:35,699
you know, there's gonna be some things
that aren't fucking great.
343
00:18:35,699 --> 00:18:37,951
Giving the ball away
like it's going out of style.
344
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:40,662
Missing tackles,
can't block a three-man rush.
345
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:42,748
All right, fortunately,
we made enough plays to win,
346
00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:46,210
but I'm just telling you, it won't last.
It will not last.
347
00:18:47,753 --> 00:18:50,756
[Slater] It just seemed like
at times with Belichick,
348
00:18:50,756 --> 00:18:54,218
{\an8}I felt like we lost the game
even though we won.
349
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:57,554
It was brutal.
350
00:18:58,138 --> 00:19:00,432
Not only was he critical
of every player in there,
351
00:19:00,432 --> 00:19:02,309
but he was extremely critical of Tom.
352
00:19:03,769 --> 00:19:06,146
You see a lot of coaches in the league
353
00:19:06,146 --> 00:19:08,732
and the love affair
they have with their star players.
354
00:19:08,732 --> 00:19:10,192
And Bill's never been that way.
355
00:19:14,071 --> 00:19:17,783
[Belichick] This is a repeat performance
now. We're getting beat on the same shit
356
00:19:17,783 --> 00:19:19,618
that we've been beat on before.
357
00:19:19,618 --> 00:19:23,247
Don't sit there
and think that it's not a problem.
358
00:19:23,247 --> 00:19:24,414
It's a problem.
359
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:26,667
[Donté Stallworth]
When I first got to New England,
360
00:19:26,667 --> 00:19:30,170
I was surprised
how Belichick treated Brady.
361
00:19:31,129 --> 00:19:32,548
I remember one time,
362
00:19:32,548 --> 00:19:36,260
{\an8}he's showing all these lowlights... They
were not highlights. They were lowlights.
363
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:39,555
The dropped passes, the fumbles,
the missed blocks, the missed tackles.
364
00:19:39,555 --> 00:19:43,016
The first lowlight
that he showed was of Tom Brady.
365
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:46,436
And he turns around and looks at Brady,
and he says...
366
00:19:47,354 --> 00:19:49,523
"What the fuck is this shit?"
367
00:19:49,523 --> 00:19:53,110
And he plays it again
and he looks back halfway... [chuckles]
368
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:54,820
...and he turns and he says,
369
00:19:54,820 --> 00:19:57,739
"I can get Johnny fucking Foxborough
from down the street
370
00:19:57,739 --> 00:19:59,199
to make a better throw than this."
371
00:20:00,033 --> 00:20:04,329
[Belichick] Wide open, don't see it,
then I'm getting sack.
372
00:20:04,329 --> 00:20:07,583
And should we have it? Yeah.
Do we have it? No.
373
00:20:07,583 --> 00:20:11,712
[Randy Moss] I remember one time
Bill tore Brady's head completely off,
374
00:20:11,712 --> 00:20:13,505
decapitated Brady.
375
00:20:13,505 --> 00:20:17,718
{\an8}He said, "You guys are telling me
that my Hall of Fame quarterback
376
00:20:17,718 --> 00:20:20,929
{\an8}cannot complete a 5-yard out?"
377
00:20:20,929 --> 00:20:24,683
[Slater] "I mean, the quarterback
play here, it's just awful.
378
00:20:24,683 --> 00:20:26,143
This stinks."
379
00:20:27,144 --> 00:20:30,105
And I'm sitting there,
I'm sure my mouth was wide open.
380
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:32,191
Because I'm like, "Man, that's Tom Brady.
381
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:35,736
This guy has won four Super Bowls."
382
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:41,825
But I think that speaks to Bill, right?
To him, nobody's bigger than the team.
383
00:20:41,825 --> 00:20:43,744
He's gonna coach everybody the same,
384
00:20:43,744 --> 00:20:48,248
because he feels like that's gonna give
the team the best chance to have success.
385
00:20:48,248 --> 00:20:50,792
And honestly, he's not worried
about hurting anybody's feelings.
386
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:52,252
He really doesn't care.
387
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:55,172
Like, "If you're offended, get out.
I'll find somebody else."
388
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:59,885
[Wes Welker] You know, Tom,
he very easily could have been like,
389
00:20:59,885 --> 00:21:03,597
"All right, Bill. Screw you, man.
Play somebody else week one."
390
00:21:05,057 --> 00:21:08,977
I personally talked to Tom
and was like, "You're a, uh...
391
00:21:09,561 --> 00:21:11,313
{\an8}Basically, an abused dog.
392
00:21:11,313 --> 00:21:14,399
{\an8}You just sit there, you know,
tail between your legs.
393
00:21:14,399 --> 00:21:16,985
You just keep on coming back."
394
00:21:19,404 --> 00:21:25,202
[Kraft] Tom and I had a number of
discussions about how Bill treated him.
395
00:21:26,370 --> 00:21:28,413
Tommy is very sensitive.
396
00:21:29,206 --> 00:21:32,543
{\an8}He was always looking for Bill's approval,
397
00:21:32,543 --> 00:21:36,255
{\an8}almost in a father/son kind of way.
398
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,511
And it's not Bill's style
ever to give that.
399
00:21:45,639 --> 00:21:49,184
[reporter] The Patriots are vying
for a fifth Super Bowl title
400
00:21:49,184 --> 00:21:51,436
in the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era.
401
00:21:53,105 --> 00:21:56,483
[Ernie Adams] Bill made it very clear
he wasn't gonna be overly concerned
402
00:21:56,483 --> 00:21:58,819
with Tom's emotions and feelings.
403
00:21:59,778 --> 00:22:01,780
You know, you're in the Super Bowl.
404
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:03,240
{\an8}The pain is temporary.
405
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,033
{\an8}The championship is forever.
406
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:07,703
Losing the championship is forever too.
407
00:22:11,081 --> 00:22:12,583
[reporter] There's a lot of conversation,
408
00:22:12,583 --> 00:22:15,002
and a lot of it's gonna revolve
around Tom Brady.
409
00:22:15,002 --> 00:22:17,754
Legacy always comes up
around this time of year.
410
00:22:17,754 --> 00:22:19,715
[reporter 2] I think
if he wins this game,
411
00:22:19,715 --> 00:22:23,177
you'd have to consider him the best
quarterback of the Super Bowl era.
412
00:22:25,053 --> 00:22:27,723
[Amendola] I remember
before the Super Bowl,
413
00:22:27,723 --> 00:22:30,434
Tom was definitely going through a lot
off the field.
414
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:34,646
And he had everything
really swirling around his head.
415
00:22:34,646 --> 00:22:35,772
[crowd cheers]
416
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,816
[Amendola] But at the end of the day,
417
00:22:37,816 --> 00:22:41,278
Tom really was
the heart and the soul of our team.
418
00:22:41,278 --> 00:22:43,280
- [Brady] I love you, man.
- [Amendola] I love you, baby!
419
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,658
You know, we worked for Bill,
but we played for Tom.
420
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,875
[announcer] The New England Patriots
have once again
421
00:22:54,875 --> 00:22:58,587
blazed a path
to the biggest stage in sports.
422
00:22:58,587 --> 00:23:01,006
[Troy Aikman] Thirty-nine-year-old
Tom Brady told us this week
423
00:23:01,006 --> 00:23:04,551
he's in the best football shape
of his entire life.
424
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:07,638
[Joe Buck] In a season that started
with a four-game suspension,
425
00:23:07,638 --> 00:23:10,891
Tom Brady trying to make history
here tonight
426
00:23:10,891 --> 00:23:14,520
and become the first quarterback
to ever win five Super Bowls.
427
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,980
- Let's go!
- [crowd cheers]
428
00:23:17,606 --> 00:23:19,066
Let's go!
429
00:23:20,984 --> 00:23:25,155
[Buck] Three-time Super Bowl MVP.
You think he's fired up?
430
00:23:26,990 --> 00:23:30,035
[cheering]
431
00:23:30,035 --> 00:23:31,828
[Buck] We're gonna see what Tom Brady
432
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:34,915
and the offense for
the New England Patriots has in store.
433
00:23:36,208 --> 00:23:38,126
[announcer] It's such a young
Atlanta team.
434
00:23:38,126 --> 00:23:42,172
A lot of these guys grew up watching
Tom Brady operate in a Super Bowl.
435
00:23:43,006 --> 00:23:45,843
[Buck] They're gonna be tested
unlike ever before.
436
00:23:55,477 --> 00:23:59,022
The pass incomplete for Edelman.
And he got popped.
437
00:23:59,815 --> 00:24:01,942
[Brady] I knew it was gonna be
an aggressive game.
438
00:24:01,942 --> 00:24:04,278
[Buck] Brady. Sacked in midfield.
439
00:24:04,903 --> 00:24:08,282
But I didn't think that their pass rush
would be as good as it was.
440
00:24:08,282 --> 00:24:10,450
Those dudes were flying around.
441
00:24:11,034 --> 00:24:14,121
- [grunts]
- [Buck] And down he goes again!
442
00:24:14,121 --> 00:24:17,583
[announcer] That is a great start
for this young defensive unit.
443
00:24:17,583 --> 00:24:20,002
[Buck] Not what Tom Brady had in mind.
444
00:24:20,002 --> 00:24:22,921
[Julian Edelman] You could feel
their sideline was getting excited.
445
00:24:22,921 --> 00:24:26,258
[coach] Go attack, D!
That ball ain't come out yet, Keith.
446
00:24:26,967 --> 00:24:29,094
[Edelman] It felt like
they were gonna do some dirt,
447
00:24:29,094 --> 00:24:31,388
{\an8}gonna do some damage.
They're gonna blow you up.
448
00:24:32,139 --> 00:24:35,017
[Buck] This Falcons team
playing at a little different speed
449
00:24:35,017 --> 00:24:37,936
than what the Patriots have been.
Freeman. What a cut!
450
00:24:37,936 --> 00:24:39,771
Touchdown, Atlanta!
451
00:24:39,771 --> 00:24:41,231
[crowd cheers]
452
00:24:41,231 --> 00:24:44,234
[announcer] And Atlanta has grabbed
the lead in Super Bowl 51.
453
00:24:44,234 --> 00:24:46,278
[Buck] Seven to nothing.
454
00:24:46,278 --> 00:24:49,156
All right, look.
Any time we see the outside runs,
455
00:24:49,156 --> 00:24:52,075
we can't over-pursue these guys.
We know they can cut all the way back.
456
00:24:52,075 --> 00:24:54,161
I'm just saying when they stretch it
457
00:24:54,161 --> 00:24:55,370
we gotta go right there.
458
00:24:55,370 --> 00:24:57,873
Read the mesh point and then go up.
459
00:24:58,415 --> 00:25:00,375
{\an8}All week, Bill kept telling us
460
00:25:00,375 --> 00:25:03,170
{\an8}this is the type of team
that we can't fall behind,
461
00:25:03,170 --> 00:25:06,298
{\an8}14 to 3, or 21-10.
462
00:25:08,342 --> 00:25:10,511
[Buck] Ryan. End zone.
463
00:25:10,511 --> 00:25:13,263
Pass is caught for the touchdown.
464
00:25:13,263 --> 00:25:16,391
- [cheering]
- [Buck] This is a 14 to nothing game.
465
00:25:16,391 --> 00:25:18,810
No team has ever come back
466
00:25:18,810 --> 00:25:21,980
from a two touchdown deficit
to win a Super Bowl.
467
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:23,815
[Belichick] We'd dug ourselves in a hole.
468
00:25:23,815 --> 00:25:27,152
It was just too many mistakes,
uh, on our end,
469
00:25:27,152 --> 00:25:30,656
{\an8}and Atlanta, obviously being a good
football team, able to capitalize on them.
470
00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:33,367
It was just bad football.
471
00:25:33,367 --> 00:25:38,455
[Buck] Brady, with protection, misses
Julian Edelman who was wide open.
472
00:25:38,455 --> 00:25:40,666
[player] We about to put up
40-something on their ass.
473
00:25:40,666 --> 00:25:42,292
They ain't never seen anything like this.
474
00:25:43,168 --> 00:25:44,795
{\an8}It's Tom Brady though.
475
00:25:44,795 --> 00:25:47,130
{\an8}I know. I'm never comfortable.
476
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:49,424
[Buck] Fourteen to nothing
on Atlanta's 23.
477
00:25:50,092 --> 00:25:52,094
Brady gets the snap from Andrews.
478
00:25:52,094 --> 00:25:54,137
[Brady] I drop back to throw a pass.
479
00:25:55,264 --> 00:25:58,350
You know, I remember that ball
coming off my hand...
480
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:02,479
...and then you realize, "Oh, shit!"
481
00:26:03,230 --> 00:26:05,023
[Buck] Intercepted!
482
00:26:05,023 --> 00:26:07,818
Coming back up the field is Robert Alford.
483
00:26:07,818 --> 00:26:11,738
Alford, 40, 30, 20, 15,
484
00:26:11,738 --> 00:26:13,574
10, 5.
485
00:26:14,449 --> 00:26:19,454
He will walk into the end zone
on an 81-yard pick 6.
486
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:23,834
[announcer] They just completely fooled
the veteran quarterback.
487
00:26:23,834 --> 00:26:26,670
[Brady] I threw an interception return
for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
488
00:26:26,670 --> 00:26:29,298
It's fucking as bad a play
as you can make.
489
00:26:30,257 --> 00:26:33,177
You know, when that happens,
it just goes into your mind, like,
490
00:26:33,177 --> 00:26:35,262
"Fuck, man. If we lose this game...
491
00:26:35,971 --> 00:26:37,764
...that's all they're gonna
wanna talk about."
492
00:26:37,764 --> 00:26:40,767
You know, me being... washed up.
493
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:45,772
[Buck] What more
can go wrong for New England?
494
00:26:45,772 --> 00:26:48,525
Eight-31 to play in the third.
495
00:26:48,525 --> 00:26:51,945
Atlanta 28, New England 3.
496
00:26:55,449 --> 00:26:58,285
[Kraft] It was utter shock.
497
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,454
You know, that's a...
498
00:27:00,454 --> 00:27:04,541
Just the worst thing
you can imagine for Tommy
499
00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:08,170
and, you know, his legacy.
500
00:27:10,631 --> 00:27:12,591
It was shocking.
501
00:27:12,591 --> 00:27:15,594
{\an8}You could have heard a pin drop
in that press box.
502
00:27:17,179 --> 00:27:20,474
The very early edition
of the Boston Globe had to go to press
503
00:27:20,474 --> 00:27:22,351
before the game was over,
504
00:27:22,351 --> 00:27:24,394
and there's Brady on the cover.
505
00:27:24,394 --> 00:27:27,814
He'd just thrown a pick,
he'd fallen on his face.
506
00:27:28,899 --> 00:27:32,277
And you're wondering,
is this the end for Brady?
507
00:27:35,656 --> 00:27:37,741
[Princiotti] Maybe Belichick was right.
508
00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:40,786
Quarterbacks at the end of their career
509
00:27:40,786 --> 00:27:43,288
go from really good
to really bad, really fast.
510
00:27:44,957 --> 00:27:47,751
[Dante Scarnecchia] Goddamn, fellas,
we gotta do better than that.
511
00:27:48,377 --> 00:27:49,211
Fuck!
512
00:27:50,128 --> 00:27:52,506
There's no fucking excuses for that shit.
513
00:27:53,549 --> 00:27:56,385
[Curran] By the time they're down 28 to 3,
514
00:27:56,385 --> 00:27:59,346
you know, there's really very little
to hang your hat on.
515
00:28:00,097 --> 00:28:02,975
Yes, you can look at times
the Patriots came back,
516
00:28:02,975 --> 00:28:05,018
{\an8}but 28 to 3 is 28 to 3.
517
00:28:05,811 --> 00:28:09,731
Nobody's come back that much
in the Super Bowl in NFL history.
518
00:28:12,985 --> 00:28:16,405
Good job. It's gonna take all night.
Gonna take all night. Good job, bro.
519
00:28:16,405 --> 00:28:20,742
[Buck] This young Atlanta team
loving it. Up by 25.
520
00:28:23,161 --> 00:28:26,290
[Scott Pioli] In 2016,
I worked for the Falcons
521
00:28:26,290 --> 00:28:28,041
as the assistant general manager.
522
00:28:29,877 --> 00:28:33,088
{\an8}When we were up 28 to 3,
I'm watching the game.
523
00:28:33,088 --> 00:28:36,133
{\an8}We had a suite
for the entire personnel department.
524
00:28:37,301 --> 00:28:40,137
All the folks I'm working with,
they're high-fiving,
525
00:28:40,137 --> 00:28:42,431
and everyone, it's...
You know, out of control.
526
00:28:43,807 --> 00:28:45,893
But I was a mess.
527
00:28:47,019 --> 00:28:49,271
I felt this nervousness.
528
00:28:50,898 --> 00:28:54,026
And as I'm sitting there,
someone slaps me on the back and says,
529
00:28:54,026 --> 00:28:56,945
"Come on, Scott, lighten up.
You gotta enjoy this moment."
530
00:28:58,363 --> 00:29:01,241
And... I just erupted.
531
00:29:03,035 --> 00:29:07,331
I whipped around and I said,
"You effing people don't get it.
532
00:29:08,874 --> 00:29:14,129
That guy number 12 across the field
is Freddy effing Krueger.
533
00:29:16,507 --> 00:29:17,966
He's coming back...
534
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,761
...and he's gonna get a bunch of us.
535
00:29:22,763 --> 00:29:24,640
I just hope he doesn't get us all."
536
00:29:26,433 --> 00:29:28,852
[Buck] It would be
an unprecedented comeback
537
00:29:28,852 --> 00:29:32,189
if the Patriots climb out of this hole.
538
00:29:32,189 --> 00:29:34,066
Down by 25.
539
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,320
Second down and 7.
540
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,447
Brady, pass is caught.
541
00:29:40,447 --> 00:29:43,825
The tackle is missed,
and a first down for James White.
542
00:29:46,995 --> 00:29:49,122
Brady... has a man, first down.
543
00:29:49,122 --> 00:29:50,791
Big conversion, Amendola.
544
00:29:50,791 --> 00:29:53,919
[Kyle Van Noy] Fucking go! Let's go!
545
00:29:54,503 --> 00:29:57,381
[announcer] Fires left.
Catch made by White. Cuts to the inside.
546
00:29:57,381 --> 00:30:00,801
Dives across the goal line.
Touchdown, Patriots!
547
00:30:00,801 --> 00:30:02,219
[crowd cheers]
548
00:30:02,219 --> 00:30:05,305
[Aikman] And maybe, just maybe,
there's the one you need.
549
00:30:06,932 --> 00:30:08,892
[McDaniels] We can score on 'em,
we know that.
550
00:30:10,143 --> 00:30:13,647
{\an8}It's just a matter of how many times
can we do it before the clock says zero?
551
00:30:14,231 --> 00:30:16,024
[Buck] Thirty-three-yard try,
552
00:30:16,024 --> 00:30:18,819
and Gostkowski has made this
a 16-point game.
553
00:30:19,778 --> 00:30:21,405
[assistant coach] Let's go! Nice job!
554
00:30:21,405 --> 00:30:22,990
Let's just keep going.
555
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:24,575
Fast and aggressive.
556
00:30:25,325 --> 00:30:27,160
[Buck] Out of the shotgun, Ryan.
557
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,372
Gets hit! Ball is out.
558
00:30:30,372 --> 00:30:32,040
- This is a fumble.
- [whistle blows]
559
00:30:32,833 --> 00:30:35,043
- [Buck] New England has it!
- Yeah!
560
00:30:35,043 --> 00:30:36,170
[cheering]
561
00:30:36,170 --> 00:30:39,756
Let's go make 'em pay, fellas.
Let's go make 'em pay!
562
00:30:39,756 --> 00:30:42,217
Gotta lock in now, laser focus.
563
00:30:43,093 --> 00:30:45,846
[McDaniels] Tom, he never even flinched,
564
00:30:45,846 --> 00:30:50,017
never gave an indication of,
"It's too insurmountable". Never.
565
00:30:50,017 --> 00:30:54,021
[Buck] Down by 16 points
with just over 7 to go.
566
00:30:54,021 --> 00:30:56,940
- Patriots!
- Come on, Pats!
567
00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:59,151
Come on, TB 12!
568
00:30:59,568 --> 00:31:02,362
[Amendola] I remember looking up
at the clock and we're down 16.
569
00:31:04,031 --> 00:31:06,450
[Buck] Backs up, looks left,
throws it for Amendola.
570
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:08,327
Touchdown, Patriots!
571
00:31:09,995 --> 00:31:11,872
[Amendola] Tom hit me and it was like,
572
00:31:11,872 --> 00:31:14,750
{\an8}"All right, I can take one more breath."
573
00:31:14,750 --> 00:31:18,045
[Buck] And Brady tells the world
they're going for 2.
574
00:31:18,795 --> 00:31:20,923
Direct snap to James White,
runs up the middle.
575
00:31:20,923 --> 00:31:22,716
He's in for 2!
576
00:31:22,716 --> 00:31:24,468
[cheering]
577
00:31:24,468 --> 00:31:28,764
[analyst] New England
is back in business, 28-20.
578
00:31:29,431 --> 00:31:32,226
{\an8}Everybody relax. All right,
let's go attack again next play.
579
00:31:32,935 --> 00:31:34,895
[McCourty] Once we started rolling,
580
00:31:34,895 --> 00:31:38,273
Atlanta starts to get the,
"Oh, man. Here they come."
581
00:31:38,273 --> 00:31:40,943
Like, "We knew it was going to happen.
Now what?"
582
00:31:40,943 --> 00:31:42,861
Hey, no fear.
583
00:31:42,861 --> 00:31:44,571
No fear. Cut it loose.
584
00:31:44,571 --> 00:31:47,616
We gotta play tougher.
Harder, tougher, everything.
585
00:31:48,325 --> 00:31:49,701
Everything we got!
586
00:31:49,701 --> 00:31:51,954
[crowd cheers and whistles]
587
00:31:51,954 --> 00:31:56,166
[Buck] If they go 91 yards here,
they'll have a chance to tie it.
588
00:31:57,376 --> 00:31:58,877
[Edelman] Gotta believe, bro.
589
00:31:58,877 --> 00:32:00,796
- [Amendola] Let's go.
- Gotta believe.
590
00:32:00,796 --> 00:32:02,297
Gotta believe, boys.
591
00:32:03,048 --> 00:32:06,301
[announcer] Let this quarterback
get the surgical knife out, and let's go.
592
00:32:06,301 --> 00:32:08,762
Nobody else you want to have it
in his hands.
593
00:32:08,762 --> 00:32:10,138
[Edelman] We started driving.
594
00:32:10,764 --> 00:32:13,350
{\an8}I was pretty confident
Tom was gonna come my way.
595
00:32:17,062 --> 00:32:19,022
But I rushed my route.
596
00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:21,859
I didn't run a good route.
597
00:32:23,026 --> 00:32:25,028
And I look over my shoulder.
598
00:32:26,113 --> 00:32:28,615
I just remember the DB's eyes.
599
00:32:29,658 --> 00:32:32,786
And I see him looking at the ball,
and I'm like, "Oh, shit."
600
00:32:33,704 --> 00:32:34,705
Interception.
601
00:32:35,706 --> 00:32:37,791
We're gonna fucking lose this Super Bowl.
602
00:32:37,791 --> 00:32:42,087
[Buck] There's Edelman,
it's broken up and the pass is...
603
00:32:42,087 --> 00:32:43,297
no sign yet.
604
00:32:43,297 --> 00:32:44,631
[whistle blows]
605
00:32:44,631 --> 00:32:47,968
[Edelman] I caught it!
I caught it! I caught it!
606
00:32:48,844 --> 00:32:50,179
Crazy, I swear to God!
607
00:32:50,179 --> 00:32:51,763
- No way, look at that.
- Watch.
608
00:32:51,763 --> 00:32:54,057
- It was on the ground!
- No.
609
00:32:55,767 --> 00:32:59,563
[Edelman] The fate of the team
is in that play's hands.
610
00:33:00,689 --> 00:33:03,692
Everything happened so fast,
it's all reaction.
611
00:33:11,533 --> 00:33:13,202
[Buck] Oh, that's a catch!
612
00:33:13,202 --> 00:33:15,662
- [Aikman] Oh, my God!
- [Buck] That's incredible.
613
00:33:15,662 --> 00:33:18,040
I tell you right now,
I had to check my pants after that play,
614
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,792
because that could have been the game.
615
00:33:20,792 --> 00:33:23,420
After review,
the ruling on the field is confirmed.
616
00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:26,298
- [crowd cheers]
- The receiver's hand is under the ball.
617
00:33:26,298 --> 00:33:28,258
The ball never hits the ground.
618
00:33:29,676 --> 00:33:32,471
[McDaniels] Jules comes up
with the ball there.
619
00:33:32,471 --> 00:33:34,139
It was like, "This is meant to be."
620
00:33:36,725 --> 00:33:39,686
Now this is fate
that we're going to tie the game.
621
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,066
[announcer] Tom takes the snap.
He backs up, hands it to White.
622
00:33:44,066 --> 00:33:47,569
Up the middle! Touchdown, the Patriots!
623
00:33:47,569 --> 00:33:49,905
[announcer 2] I cannot believe
what I'm witnessing.
624
00:33:49,905 --> 00:33:52,574
[Buck] And now
the biggest 2-point attempt
625
00:33:52,574 --> 00:33:54,868
in the history of the Patriots franchise.
626
00:33:55,744 --> 00:33:58,163
[announcer] Fifty-seven seconds to go,
and 2 for the tie.
627
00:33:58,163 --> 00:34:01,875
Tom takes the snap. Quick throw
to Amendola. Screen left.
628
00:34:02,751 --> 00:34:07,339
Reaches across the goal line.
It's a tie game in Super Bowl 51!
629
00:34:07,339 --> 00:34:12,219
[announcer] That ties the game at 28,
with 57 seconds to go in regulation.
630
00:34:13,011 --> 00:34:16,889
[Slater] You don't think you're gonna
lose a game when you're up 28-3,
631
00:34:16,889 --> 00:34:20,310
but unfortunately for those guys,
they had to find out,
632
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:23,897
when you're playing against Tom Brady
in front of national TV
633
00:34:23,897 --> 00:34:28,652
{\an8}with millions watching, that the game
ain't over until the game's over.
634
00:34:28,652 --> 00:34:30,654
[Buck] Here comes Tom Brady.
635
00:34:30,654 --> 00:34:34,491
The momentum of the game clearly
on the side of the New England Patriots.
636
00:34:34,491 --> 00:34:37,786
[Bryant] Tom Brady can do things
we cannot do.
637
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:41,290
[Buck] Brady. What a throw to Amendola!
638
00:34:41,290 --> 00:34:44,835
[Bryant] That ability
to bend a game to your will.
639
00:34:45,460 --> 00:34:48,045
[Buck] Pass is caught, Hogan.
640
00:34:48,045 --> 00:34:51,382
[Bryant] And when you're watching Brady,
641
00:34:51,382 --> 00:34:53,092
you're watching a master.
642
00:34:53,092 --> 00:34:56,429
[Buck] Patriots win Super Bowl 51
with a touchdown right here.
643
00:34:56,429 --> 00:34:59,558
[Brady] Green nineteen. Hut! Hut!
644
00:34:59,558 --> 00:35:01,894
[announcer] Toss sweep for James White.
Tucks it under the right arm.
645
00:35:01,894 --> 00:35:05,606
Cuts it upfield. Driving forward.
Diving to the goal line!
646
00:35:05,606 --> 00:35:07,566
A touchdown!
647
00:35:07,566 --> 00:35:08,942
[cheering]
648
00:35:08,942 --> 00:35:13,071
[announcer] They have completed the
greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.
649
00:35:13,071 --> 00:35:15,365
[Aikman] Thirty-one unanswered points.
650
00:35:19,369 --> 00:35:22,956
What an amazing, stunning end.
[whistle blows repeatedly]
651
00:35:22,956 --> 00:35:26,376
[Aikman] As the Falcons
just sit there in disbelief.
652
00:35:31,965 --> 00:35:37,721
[Princiotti] That Falcons Super Bowl
was so magical and strange.
653
00:35:39,139 --> 00:35:43,977
They've continued the dynasty. They've
done it on the back of their quarterback.
654
00:35:45,062 --> 00:35:50,108
But I think winning that game
was a turning point in Brady's identity.
655
00:35:50,901 --> 00:35:54,988
Now he has to be considered
the greatest player of all time.
656
00:35:55,906 --> 00:36:00,744
[Buck] No quarterback had ever
won five Super Bowls until tonight.
657
00:36:00,744 --> 00:36:02,287
Tom Brady has.
658
00:36:02,287 --> 00:36:05,707
Don't ever count Tom Brady out. Best ever?
659
00:36:06,375 --> 00:36:08,210
[Aikman] The best ever in my book.
660
00:36:08,794 --> 00:36:11,296
[Buck] Look at Brady. One more ring.
661
00:36:13,090 --> 00:36:15,509
Well, I think Tom's performance,
662
00:36:15,509 --> 00:36:19,221
like everybody else's,
is related to other things besides him.
663
00:36:20,138 --> 00:36:22,808
But there's not many guys can do
what Tom Brady did, uh,
664
00:36:22,808 --> 00:36:24,601
especially at that point in his career.
665
00:36:25,644 --> 00:36:28,856
- [Brady] Hey, man!
- [LeGarrette Blount] Oh, my God!
666
00:36:28,856 --> 00:36:31,441
- [Brady] I love you guys!
- Oh, my God!
667
00:36:31,441 --> 00:36:33,485
[Blount] What a game!
You are the greatest of all fucking time.
668
00:36:33,485 --> 00:36:35,153
[Belichick] That's why we're here.
669
00:36:35,153 --> 00:36:37,447
You're the greatest!
And you're the fucking greatest!
670
00:36:38,115 --> 00:36:39,825
You're the fucking greatest, bro.
671
00:36:41,785 --> 00:36:44,621
[Brady] Finally, I felt like
there was some closure to the saga.
672
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:47,082
All the best, man.
673
00:36:47,082 --> 00:36:48,250
Unbelievable.
674
00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:49,376
[Brady] We made our point.
675
00:36:49,793 --> 00:36:51,962
I love you, baby. So much.
676
00:36:52,379 --> 00:36:55,507
[Brady] And I could now start chasing
what I set out to chase.
677
00:36:56,884 --> 00:37:01,638
I think I was chasing what I deemed
to be my... my potential.
678
00:37:03,307 --> 00:37:05,893
I said I was gonna play till my mid-40s.
679
00:37:07,269 --> 00:37:09,980
So, let me just go to work
and let my play do the talking.
680
00:37:09,980 --> 00:37:12,691
{\an8}[crowd boos and jeers]
681
00:37:17,988 --> 00:37:20,365
Robert, you know how hard
these are to get.
682
00:37:20,365 --> 00:37:21,658
[booing continues]
683
00:37:21,658 --> 00:37:24,286
And this is your fifth
under your leadership,
684
00:37:24,286 --> 00:37:27,122
Coach Belichick and Tom Brady.
685
00:37:27,581 --> 00:37:31,001
We're so proud of you. Take your
Super Bowl trophy home to New England.
686
00:37:31,001 --> 00:37:32,711
[crowd cheers]
687
00:37:33,962 --> 00:37:38,091
[Kraft] A lot has transpired
during the last two years.
688
00:37:40,594 --> 00:37:44,264
And I don't think
that needs any explanation.
689
00:37:44,264 --> 00:37:46,642
[cheering]
690
00:37:46,642 --> 00:37:49,978
This is unequivocally the sweetest.
691
00:37:52,689 --> 00:37:55,192
[Bryant] This is
a new period of dominance.
692
00:37:55,192 --> 00:37:58,362
Coach Belichick, up over here,
on my side, Coach.
693
00:37:59,738 --> 00:38:02,533
[Bryant] But if you're Bill Belichick,
you're watching Brady
694
00:38:02,533 --> 00:38:05,369
and you're wondering, "Is it time?"
695
00:38:06,328 --> 00:38:09,790
Or do you let him run
as long as he needs to run?
696
00:38:09,790 --> 00:38:12,626
[indistinct stadium announcement]
697
00:38:14,378 --> 00:38:16,964
{\an8}And if you're Tom Brady, you're like,
"I'll decide when it's time.
698
00:38:16,964 --> 00:38:18,090
{\an8}Look what I've done."
699
00:38:18,507 --> 00:38:20,968
[Terry Bradshaw] Well, I got
the greatest coach in the NFL,
700
00:38:20,968 --> 00:38:23,929
might as well have
the greatest quarterback. Tom Brady!
701
00:38:23,929 --> 00:38:28,141
[Bryant] "I am not only the greatest
player in the franchise's history,
702
00:38:28,141 --> 00:38:30,435
I'm the greatest player to ever play."
703
00:38:30,435 --> 00:38:33,564
- We're bringing this sucker home!
- [crowd cheers]
704
00:38:36,149 --> 00:38:38,944
[Bryant] These are the two titanic figures
of this franchise.
705
00:38:40,362 --> 00:38:42,698
But... they are two alphas.
706
00:38:44,241 --> 00:38:48,704
And with two egos and personalities
and accomplishments at that level...
707
00:38:49,830 --> 00:38:51,748
...a collision was inevitable.
708
00:38:52,165 --> 00:38:54,168
["Bodak Yellow" by Cardi B playing]
709
00:39:40,881 --> 00:39:42,841
