Tom Brady will be playing in his 10th Super Bowl for his 7th Super Bowl championship when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV on their home field in Tampa this Sunday. Host Gary Myers talks to Tom Brady about how hard it is to win the Super Bowl at a time when he was stuck on three victories for ten years. Brady predicted then nobody would win six or seven. He's wrong on six. And he's trying to serve Supe For Seven. Two players from the two New York Giants teams that beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and XLVI are also guests on this episode: former quarterback Eli Manning and former defensive end Justin Tuck. Manning talks about the thrill of beating Tom Brady twice with last-minute drives and his own relationship with Brady. Eli was named Super Bowl MVP in both victories. Justin Tuck could have been named Super Bowl MVP in the first game when the Pats were trying to complete the first 19-0 season in NFL history. Tuck sacked Brady twice and discusses how the Giants put pressure on him. EXCERPT FROM THE EPISODE: Even with the pandemic limiting Raymond James Stadium to 22,000 fans for Super Bowl 55, about one-third capacity, the atmosphere will be electric as Tom Brady goes for his seventh Super Bowl championship. The Tampa Bay Bucs vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady vs. Patrick Mahomes. The GOAT vs. The Baby Goat. And…the Bucs are the first team to play the Super Bowl on their home field. Supe’s On... It was almost unimaginable when Brady played for the Patriots, the Evil Empire of the NFL, but I think now he is the sentimental favorite in the Super Bowl. I have friends who are lifelong Jets fans who have set aside the hatred they had for Brady when he was playing for Bill Belichick and beating the Jets twice a year and they are rooting for him in the Super Bowl.  I mean, he’s going against players just about half his age in a physically demanding sport. Patrick Mahomes was just 6 years old when Brady won his first Super Bowl in the 2001 season. Besides, is there a father or mother who could not relate to Brady hugging his son in the stands at Lambeau Field in Green Bay after the NFC Championship Game? What an incredible accomplishment for Brady at his age, in his first year with a new team, with no offseason program to get acclimated to his new teammates, with a scaled down training camp, and to now win seven in a row by winning three playoff games on the road to get back home. Tom Sr. told me that he and his wife Galynn, who is a cancer survivor, each contracted COVID at the beginning of the NFL season in September. They live in San Mateo in Northern California. Tom Sr. was in the hospital for 18 days for what he described to others as a life and death situation. Tom called twice a day to check up on his parents. That is a stress that makes him very relatable as the country is going through a once-in-a-century pandemic. His parents have recovered and will be in Tampa for Super Bowl 55 for their second game this season. 🐦 Tell us what you think of this episode on Twitter at DiversionPods ▶️ Diversion brings real stories to life: DiversionPodcasts.com Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
