Good morning, good afternoon.

Whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schamler.

This is Strong Opinion Sports episode 418.

A rare special episode entirely dedicated to one thing. This is all about

Tom Brady's docu series Man in the Arena episode two. The subtitle of that episode is The Toughest Things. Now, I'm not going to lie. I went back and forth a lot whether or not I should make this episode. I set off on a journey after episode when a man in the arena came out.

I'm like, I would like to do a special episode every week dedicated to each episode of this

series. Now, today is Saturday.

The episode came out Tuesday night.

Ideally, this would have came out Wednesday morning.

And that's not really why I went back and forth. I mean I kind of had this moment with myself I realized well

People can decide not to listen to this and that's that's up to you like if you don't if you don't care about this content, why are you here?

Right? Like, that's totally fine. I also realized, well, I'm self-employed.

I don't have a boss, really. I can do whatever I want and I want to make this content.

No, the reason why I kind of about... want to make this content.

No, the reason why I kind of went back and forth on whether or not I should make an

episode here, and I'll tell you why I ultimately decided I would, is something I didn't realize going into this series.

Something I feel dumb for not knowing,

although it makes sense.

You know, when I heard that Tom Brady had a documentary series coming out.

I was like, I'm gonna, I don't want to hear very much about it

because I don't like spoilers, I hate having stuff ruined,
