Tom Brady interview by Peter King(2HRS of the GOAT)
SIAP: Did a quick search of Board and didnt see any references to this.
Podcasters this is a wide ranging interview with Tom Brady a week following the SB victory. Not often you get to here the GOAT talk for 2 solid hours about football, conditioning and his playing future.
Its a great listen.
About how Brady is so much better than their favorite QB at the time.
Tom Brady? Cool. Peter King? Not so much ... I find him vaguely insufferable.
I refuse to watch or listen to anything for two hours unless someone dies or there is gratuitous sex. Sorry Tom...
Peter King had a pretty good interview with Brady in the latest Sports Illustrated. He went to Brady's place in Montana and talked about how Brady stays healthy and takes care of his body. Brady absolutely believes he can play at a high level through his mid-forties.
That article was drawn from this interview. This is the full audio of the interview that Peter King conducted in Montana.
I love Tom Brady, but I think this storyline about his conditioning and diet helping propel him to play into his forties is nonsense. I think his ability to play into his 40s has more to do with the new NFL rules protecting the QB. He is not a mobile QB who takes a lot of hits outside the pocket. And it is much easier to avoid catastrophic injuries in the pocket with the new NFL rules protecting the QB.
Drew Brees is a 6'0 QB who is probably going to play into his 40s as well. I think this is may become more commonplace moving forward.
Dude eats no sugar of white flour, that alone makes him a ton healtheri than 99% of the population. Diet has a massive effect on our bodies, I don't doubt at all that his diet could add years to his playing career (and decades to his life).
Thanks for alerting me! I will add that to my OCD-inducing Podcast feed.
