Hey, how you doing?

We're doing. Hey, how you doing?

0:03.4

Hey, how you doing? Is Felger and Matt? What? On 985. Unbelievable. The Sports Hub. He said he wants to play until he's 45, but Giselle, obviously, not just in watching it, but listening to her, she'd like him to quit sooner rather than later. How much more do you think he can do this? Look, I think Tom set this sort of bar.

0:23.3

He's the guy who said mid-40s. she'd like him to quit sooner rather than later. How much more do you think he can do this?

1:46.4

Look, I think Tom set this sort of bar. He's the guy who said mid-40s. I think he's probably on a season-to-season thing right now in the off-season. It's not, look, it's not physical. He can do it. His whole life and regiment is built around being prepared to play football. I think it's mental and it's emotional, and there's a lot of stuff going on in his life outside of football. That's the thing that you've got to recalibrate. So I think you will. I don't have any doubt he'll show up in September, but I think at this point you're looking season to season. And if you ask me, I'd say two, maybe three. But if I were going to bet. Gotham Cholper, that was yesterday on Fox Radio with Doug Gottlieb. I have more clips to play for you here. This guy is on a tour, which is fine. You know, he's promoting the documentary, so no problem. But at every stop, he's asked about Tom Brady and how long he's going to play and he continues to insist year to year. Right. Year to year. How do you feel about that? Well, first of all, I told you, if Brady does it, it's one of the great dink moves of all time. But the more I hear it... Can I talk to right here? Yeah. I think the fact that Brady in his camp is throwing out year to year is a dink move in and of itself. Okay, so I was just about to say it. It's already a dink move. So the more I hear it, Brady's hanging for a new deal. That's what I think. He's pulling a gronk. Okay, so, all right, go ahead. So that's what I think. He's hanging for a new deal. He's signed for $22 million the next two years, basically. That's the cap hit, right?

1:47.3

The base salary.

2:05.7

And so they haven't given him a new contract yet. The indication is that he won't play ball with him. And maybe he won't play ball with him because he wants a bigger deal. Maybe he's leveraging him. Maybe this is Brady's way of saying, look, you don't give me what I want. I'm out after a year or two. I'll go year to year and pull a far on you. I mean, I don't know. You know, again, you get more experience in a reservoir in that whole area than I do, but

2:13.9

I don't rule it out. It bugs me with Brady. It doesn't bug me with Gronk if that's what he's doing.

2:19.8

It doesn't bug me with Gronk because

2:21.7

Gronk hasn't shoved, I'm playing to 45

2:25.3

down my throat for the previous three years.

2:28.5

So as a leverage play, if Brady's using this as a leverage play,

2:32.8

and he's letting this out that it's year to year and all the stuff that he put at the end of episode six and you got to, it's about your conviction, you got to ask the right questions and why are we doing this and all that stuff, if he's doing all of that and letting Chopper go on and on about how this is year to year and he's not going to 45, and he's doing it for any sort of play.

2:51.9

Contract.

2:53.3

Murray's thing.

2:54.0

He's trying to force out Ballarduchick or something like that.

2:56.4

Or get grunk money.

2:57.9

Or get gronk money or just busting balls.

3:02.3

Just, you know, just trying to stick it to Bill in any way.

3:05.8

Then fine.

3:06.8

Okay, fine. Except, except, you've just been telling
