Dollar 3 at Gender Free Friday, Felger and Maz It's again, it's brought you by Planet Fitness. I am in Parts Unknown on location in our town fair tire studios. Tony Mazurati and Christopher L. Gasper of the Boston Globe. How you doing, Chris? I'm doing well. How are you doing, Felgi? It's a nice... Nice fern in the background there.

Yeah, I was going to say, you say parts unknown, but over your shoulder, I see some sort of tropical plant.

And a little while ago, I saw a beach and palm trees.

This looks like a great time share you got here.

Yeah, I want to know what clauses are in your contract so I can ask for them when mine come up.

And so he can do the show from the Clevelander. Don't worry about it. It's a need-to-know basis. I'm here on research. Chris, I do want your thoughts, Chris. Research. On the Brady stuff from this week, okay? And my thing today is it's one thing to float all these stories and have them come out and have

them be reported and there's a lot of misreporting that goes on and you know so like who knows

where the reports come from and where they germinate and if they're at good or not but now we're

three or four days into the thing five days into the thing and brady has not sent out so much

as a hashtag that says i'm back why do you think so which leads me to believe there's only one conclusion there is that he wants the speculation. Why do you think he wants this out here like that? Because I think maybe for the first time in his career, Mike, he's going to try and use some of the leverage he has. And I think the question here is not whether Tom Brady's going to play, because I think he will, and that's just my opinion. There's no inside information here. I think he will play. The question is, what does he want? Why is he doing this? What does he want? Does he want Guerrero's privileges to be restored? Does he want a new contract? Does he want Bill to lighten up? Does he want Josh McDaniels to be the head coach? I don't know, but he wants something here. And I think for a guy who hasn't used his leverage over the team at all, really, in the past, he's using it here. He knows the situation. There's no viable alternative to him. They're all in on him. He's unhappy about what happened last year, the environment, didn't feel like it was conducive to him having fun or being appreciated, didn't love getting the rub down in the suite, which we saw Tom versus Time, which was obviously in there for a reason.

And now he's trying to leverage them into giving him something that he wants.

Okay. So, Chris, my question then is, is there any possibility that what he wants is just to make him sweat a little? Or do you think there's actually an end game? No, I think there's actually an end game. Because if you're going to do this and you know, he's not saying anything. So it's becoming an issue. It's a public thing. If you're going to do this, the hassle has to be worth the reward. You know what I mean? Like, just to, like, mess with Bill or tick them up, like, what's that really going to accomplish? There has to be some sort of end game there at the end of the day. What do you think it is, Chris? I don't know. I honestly don't. I mean, I would think if I had a guess from that list, I mean, number one would be Guerrero. I would say Guerrero number one and contract number two.

Because I think at this stage of Tom's career, if he thinks that Bill's really going to change,
