- 1:03Speaker 1: first reaction to It's gonna be great. It's gonna be
- 1:05Speaker 1: great for our bench franchise. That didn't happen. He had
- 1:09Speaker 1: maybe the most vanilla interview that I've ever heard him have,

- 1:27Speaker 1: listening to this first? And a couple hours later, our
- 1:33Speaker 1: guy Tommy b posted an Instagram post or Twitter post
- 1:38Speaker 1: saying that he is retiring The New York Jets just
- 1:44Speaker 1: tweeted this better be real. Yeah. I think it is,
- 1:51Speaker 1: you guys, and I think it is very anticlimactic. I
- 1:56Speaker 1: thought we were gonna have some kind of like Steven
- 1:58Speaker 1: Spielberg directed LG video or see You Later video. It
- 2:04Speaker 1: was going to be beautiful. I'm sure it was all
- 2:06Speaker 1: gonna make us pumped up and wish that he was
- 2:08Speaker 1: still playing. But no, we may as well have gotten
- 2:12Speaker 1: a TikTok video. Okay, bye Jackson Mahomes that Tom Brady
- 2:16Speaker 1: wasn't even in. But we don't. We don't have any
- 2:19Speaker 1: of those things. A lot of people are reacting to
- 2:23Speaker 1: his goodbye because he did not thank the Patriots, He
- 2:28Speaker 1: did not thank Bill Belichick, he did not thank Robert
- 2:31Speaker 1: Kraft in his goodbye. He thanked just about literally every
- 2:35Speaker 1: single person on the bucks down to like the security staff. Basically.
- 2:42Speaker 1: So a lot of people are freaking out about that.
- 2:44Speaker 1: But you gotta remember when he left the Patriots a
- 2:46Speaker 1: couple of years ago, he did all of his goodbyes. Then,
- 2:48Speaker 1: Oh I see right now, Belichick is trending. So that's nice.
- 2:51Speaker 1: He did all of his goodbyes already. He doesn't need
- 2:53Speaker 1: to do it again. But still maybe a little bit spicy.
- 2:58Speaker 1: But people are posting there on just memories of him
- 3:01Speaker 1: on Twitter right now. As I scroll John Gonzalez he
- 3:03Speaker 1: raids for Sports Illustrated buddy of mine. He's like, I'm
- 3:06Speaker 1: gonna miss him, and it's just a picture of Brady's
- 3:08Speaker 1: pants ripped when he's playing golf. So many fund memories,
- 3:11Speaker 1: you guys. But that's all we get. That's all we get.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And you know what, maybe we deserve this because we
- 3:18Speaker 1: are a culture that just needs need this news as
- 3:23Speaker 1: soon as possible. No, I could have waited. I could
- 3:28Speaker 1: have waited and let Brady have his moment. I don't
