Ever since Tom Brady teased his return to the field on Vic Joseph’s ‘DeepCut’ podcast, the NFL world has been rife with speculation about his comeback. The internet debate around the feasibility of TB12’s comeback soon reached the ears of Patriots HC Jared Mayo who had a positive response to Brady’s desire. In his press appearance, Mayo said the doors are always open for Brady in New England. While he admitted his apprehension of Tom returning as a player, he was more than excited to have the GOAT as a coach in the Patriots setup.
However, the suggestion by the HC seems to have not been well received by all. On the latest edition of Fox Sports Radio’ ‘2 Pros And A Cup Of Joe’, former Browns QB Brady Quinn opposed HC Jared’s suggestion. Quinn pointed out that TB12 is all set to start his journey as a broadcaster this season for which he is going to get paid $37.5 million / a year. Under these circumstances, why would Brady leave this lucrative QB-level salary to coach where he will never be paid at this level, asked Quinn.
Host Jonas Knox ably backed Quinn. Jonas believed that if Brady were to come back, it should be for a championship-level team as a backup and not for a team languishing at the bottom like the Patriots. Moreover, Brady’s ownership deal with the Raiders may also prove to be a hindrance in his playing career, Knox pointed out. The host hence was more interested to see how the GOAT fares as a broadcaster, than to see him pick up his boots again.
All said and done, the points laid by the analysts on the show were well-rounded. The arguments certainly put a wrench into Brady and Mayo’s desires. But this is not the only thing Brady is in the news for. The much anticipated “The Roast of Tom Brady” finally has a date and the latest ‘roast-er’ addition to the roast has made fans more excited for the show.
Bill Belichick to Headline Star-Studded Cast For The Roast of Tom Brady
As per the latest reports from Adam Schefter, “The Roast of Tom Brady” will take place on the 5th of May. Earlier today, Bill Belichick was also announced to be a part of the cast of ‘roast-ers’, adding star power to a lineup consisting of Rob Gronkowski, Randy Moss, and Drew Bledsoe among others. Brady Quinn hyped things more up by revealing Bill Belichick’s reputation for his aggressive trash talk. Looking at the cast, Quinn feels that the world might get a glimpse of the locker room talks, which ‘cuts like knives’.
All said and done, Quinn with his latest remarks has only excited us more! It will be interesting to see the lengths to which the ones roasting can go. Will there be jokes on the divorce or will it be PG 13? We have an interesting few days ahead of us!
