Tom Brady made a deal to buy 10 percent of the Raiders (pending league approval which may never come). Tom Brady has a weekly podcast, Let’s Go! on SiriusXM.
Since last week’s episode, the Raiders have fired Brady’s former offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels. And, in the new episode of Let’s go!Brady isn’t going there on the subject of McDaniels’ firing.
How is it possible ? This is the lowest low-hanging fruit. “Tom, what did you think about your new business partner, Mark Davis, firing your old friend, Josh McDaniels? Did Davis consult you? Did you agree with this decision? Did you disagree? Have you spoken to Davis? Have you spoken to Josh? What do you think about Antonio Pierce getting the interim job?
There was nothing from co-host Jim Gray on this obvious topic. Instead, Gray asked a general question about the inevitability of change in the NFL, with a passing reference in the conclusion to McDaniels’ firing.
“I’ve seen a lot of things over the years and there’s a lot of different reactions from different people and I’ve never been part of a season where we were in that situation as a team, but a lot of teams are,” Brady said. via a partial transcript provided by the team. “So obviously changes are happening every week. Injuries. Daniel Jones tore his ACL against the Raiders yesterday. Guys have been lost to season-ending injuries and coaches are now gone. So it’s just that you have to be able to adapt and adjust and move on. And the people who intervene in these places, and then they have to go out and they have to put, you know, it’s not like all the problems are solved when something like this happens. People make changes and the team must adapt as best they can. When a player leaves, the coach is fired, something happens to a family member and you have to adapt in your personal life, there are a lot of changes. We must therefore continue to adjust and adapt in the best possible way.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Come on, Tommy. It’s a huge story. You have perspective and insight. You have experience with both guys. Let’s see what you think.
And where is the Jim Gray who once tried to remove Pete Rose’s soul and show it to him on live TV? There is a fundamental curiosity that leads to many probing questions regarding McDaniels’ firing, with potentially compelling answers.
The only logical explanation is that Brady didn’t want to go. Since it’s his platform, it’s his prerogative to do so.
And it’s the prerogative of anyone else with a different platform to wonder what he’s trying to hide by not commenting on the biggest story of the week, especially given his multiple cast member connections keys.
