I don't think Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will retire as Buccaneers, unless they win a Super Bowl
Do you think Tom Brady and Gronk will retire as Buccaneers when they go into Canton? No. I think it might [happen] if they win a Super Bowl, but there's definitely like a one side of me [that] makes it sense... it's like a one last hurrah, to Florida, nice weather... I just can't do it. I can't be like the biggest Bucs fan.

I'd like to pivot [Leroy] out of the breaking news game, put him out to stud, put him out to retire... and then use the account to grade the scoops of actual insiders. Leroy serves as the judge and says this scoop goes to [whoever].
Bill Belichick is cold-blooded and will always choose assets over personal beef
Belichick is the most likely [to make the Gronk trade]. He's like, oh I get a free asset. Most other coaches would be like no. I'm going to let my personal beef standing between me and making the right choice. Belichick is so cold blooded. He'll just be like, yes, I will get something for nothing.
The Patriots only let Tom Brady go to Tampa Bay because they couldn't prove tampering, and it's actually a master plan by Bill Belichick to get draft picks
The only reason the Patriots let Tom go to Tampa Bay was that they couldn't wrap them into a tampering charge... this could be Belichick's master plan to get Tampa docked all the draft pictures and to have both Tom and Gronk returned to New England with like three extra third rounders.

View profileTom Brady helping Mike Macdonald prepare for the Patriots would be a huge slap in the face to the New England region.
That would be egregious if that was true. I don't believe it is true. But if it were, that would be unforgivable. Not unforgivable. That would be a, a blemish, a big blemish. Big time. It'd be a slap in the face of the whole region.
Jayson Tatum is playing cute by claiming he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade on social media.
I'm sure he knew that he was on the trading block and he didn't know specifically when he got traded and he found out just like everyone else... all Brad Stevens, Jaylen Brown, they talked about how, you know, he was gonna be on the trading block and they were gonna try and move him. So I'm sure Jayson Tatum was also aware of that. But in terms of, he's probably playing a little, a little cutesy there where like no one specifically told him, 'Hey, this is the trade.' He found out like everyone else. But I'm sure he was not surprised and fully aware what the plan was.
