Chris Berman's sitdown with Brady

[MoLewisrocks]

Airs today. Mike Reiss has an extended clip posted. This stuff never gets old. We are so lucky to have the unique kind of guy he is - on and off the field - as the face of our franchise.

Video: Brady ESPN interview - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

I absolutely loath having to watch FESPN, but I guess I'll have to tune in today to watch this.

Sigh.

Berman is a cool guy,better than having Jackson or Sharpe doing the Interview.

Bermans good...but I think his days are passed. I can only listen to his awful voice for 30 years. I've had enough of his purposeful voice-lowering and "Wahp!" commentary to last me another 30.

Has Jackson done any Patriot interviews since SB 38?????

Look at the end of that video, with the Brady hug of Mr. Kraft.

TB looks like his left side is paralyzed there. Can we please keep the QB sneaks to only 1-2 times per game when it is absolutely necessary?

What I get from the preview: Brady is so smooth, but he's also such a fiery competitor and great leader. Nothing earth shattering in the preview clip nor I imagine the full interview, but it's remarkable to me how TFB and BB both are consistently able to stay focused and clear on their approach.

Probably no way of knowing when in the three-hour program this interview will be shown; no way I'm watching that network's whole show, but I'll check in once in a while and hope I catch it.

I don't think we'll see anymore of those, that's why the Pats signed Polite this week.

That was a great interview. I can't see how that can just be a "clip" considering the length of the video, but it was definitely one of the better ones I've seen in a while. I definitely agree with Brady regarding Mrs. Kraft, it would definitely be amazing if they can find a way to ultimately come away with a trophy this season. That would be an incredible accomplishment, and a great thing for Mr. Kraft after what he's been through in the last year.

Bermans Voice sounds like a busted muffler pipe, mauling his vocal cords to death. Painful to hear when he lays it on thick. That aside it should be interesting, TB's always good for a quote or 2.

I thought his answer about the question relating to the importance of the offense constantly scoring to bail out the defense was really smooth. Took Tom no time to answer it.

Talk about :deadhorse:

He needs to learn to slide properly this offseason because even he has to be able to take advantage if situations, Shmessy. And that is how his shoulder got hurt, failing to slide properly and getting caught between a rock and a hard place.

I love how a thread about appreciating Tom's finer qualities always end up a thread about hating the mediot doing the interview or about some other axe a fan needs to grind. I used to chalk it up to something in the water here but so many of you aren't from here anymore...

I agree it looked terrible to see the arm just dangling there. I think this is a case where we find out in the off season that this was a good bit more than just a mild sprain.

 

[Ian]

Staying with Mo's thoughts, I think it's interesting that Brady made a great point regarding "feeling more pressure" offensively. He talked about the fact that the defense played a big part of their success in the early years, saying they weren't very good offensively, and were more "situational". I think he handled that one quite well, and there's obviously some truth to it when you look at the fact that he wasn't throwing for a lot of yards back in those early years and simply did what he needed to for them to win.

Definitely a good interview for those of you who haven't watched it yet.

When he runs and slides, he couldn't look anymore non athletic ! You'd think some coaching and time doing whistle drills and sliding drills would help that. You know they must have tried something in the beginning to try and improve his running, guess it's just not worth their time. He's been hammered a few times sliding, I wonder if they're working on it now !

Great sitdown, good questions and answers ! The Myra tribute pulled at ya.

TFB talked about getting lessons from Pedroia, but I think that's a bad idea. Pedroia's slides are some of the worst slides in the universe. On the other hand, Pedroia's running does mirror TFB's: inelegant as hell, but gets the job done.

If they want to do it right, they should get Jacoby Ellsbury or Taylor Twellman to give him sliding lessons.

But right before that, you see him clapping his hands normally. If you have ever had a shoulder injury, clapping your hands can be painful!

I think Brady's hug was just a simple one handed man hug.

 

[Uncle Rico]

It's on now.

Also good to see Mankins waiting to give Mr. Kraft a hug or what-not.

All water under the bridge now.

I have it DVRed. I haven't actually watched it yet, though.
