BB's new book has no mention of Bob Kraft - admits shocking mistake

[RobertWeathers]

I mean they offered the greatest player ever one year guaranteed

To save face.

My question is why even make an offer at all when he made it clear he didn't want to return

Tom Brady admits 'natural tension' with Bill Belichick led to Patriots exit

Tom Brady knew he was heading for a split with the Patriots a few years before it happened.

Correct. That at visiting Ross on his yacht.

It takes some real effort to imagine Tom cared more about his negative feelings for Bill, rather than his desperate attempt to save his marriage and millions of dollars.

Real stupid sht…

It doesn't. Bill's alot. Watch The Dynasty. An emotional Tom says he wasn't signing here for any amount of money. His own words. He had everyone in circle telling him to not put up with Bill's **** anymore. I am not saying that his marriage wasn't a factor, it was, but to say that he was not affected by being browbeat by Bill is putting your head in the sand. There was a lot of **** that went on, there's no smoking gun, it's years of crap piling up.

Maybe I am too old, but those guys all talking over each other made my teeth itch. I think EEI's wheelhouse for sports content was Dale and Holley.

Holley is awful now. He used to be pretty good, now he's just a pale imitation of Felger. It's infuriating.

Holley is much better on his own podcast and when he does radio fill ins

The Dynasty was a hit piece, creative editing by a filmmaker who hated Bill’s friendship with Trump and with a mandate to make Bob look omniscient to get him in the HOF.

Don’t care. He said it.

Brady outright said his relationship with Bill deteriorated and that it was a major cause in him leaving.

Brady gave you the answer.

Everyone's a pale imitation of Felger now. He made the blueprint.

RK was friends with Trump too.... also the documentary was made while bill was still here.
I've always said RK will be posthumously in the HOF won't happen while he's still here.

According to Rapapport they offered the same money. TB guaranteed two years. NEP only one.

The bottom line for me in this discussion is, and has always been, that both Belichick and Brady wanted to part ways. And the fault for that lies with Belichick. Had he shown Brady the respect he deserved, and offered to pay him what he deserved the rift would have been healed. But ultimately the reason Belichick didn’t do this is because he believed that Brady was too old, and he felt it was time to move on for the organization. But it worked out well for Brady, as he got more money, another ring, and put to rest the argument that his success was all due to Belichick.

Huck,

Your absolutely correct on this. It's a very fair and truthful account on how things went.

I think what Tom said was he wasn't coming back no matter what money was being offered.

Unless you imply some different than respect = money?

 

[Wozzy]

Don’t care. He said it.

Clearly his wife wore the pants in the family, getting browbeat by his wife and Bill was probably too much to handle.

20 years at any job is a long time.

Well.. his retirement.. we all could survive off of on the forum.. you think he'll be ok with the 300 million he's worth..

From his own words.. he had it in his mind for a few seasons.. especially when the Guerr situation happened.

For dramatic effect for a documentary. And again, I'm sure his wife threatening divorce, the millions of dollars more Tampa was offering with no state tax, the super weapons on the Bucs... all that meant nothing in relation to his feelings for Bill.

The guy who when asked later what he meant to his career Tom got misty eyed and emotional... once his harpy of a wife divorced him I mean.



Sounds legit...

Blame Giselle. She was banging her karate teacher and wanted to move closer to him.

Has nothing to do with the documentary. Brady literally just had a blog post in the last month where he flat out said it.

"After twenty years together, a natural tension had developed between where Coach Belichick and I were headed in our careers, and where the Patriots were moving as a franchise," Brady wrote. "It was the kind of tension that could only be resolved by some kind of split or one of us reassessing our priorities."
