A new Tom Brady podcast is coming later today

We heard plenty about Tom Brady on Saturday. None of it, however, came from Tom Brady.

On Monday night, we’ll hear directly from Tom Brady.

SiriusXM has sent out an email announcement/reminder that a new episode of the Let’s Go! podcast will land tonight. It will be broadcast at 7:00 p.m. ET on SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio, and on SiriusXM NFL Radio at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The podcast will land at a time when the football-following world is trying to figure out whether Tom Brady will be retiring. ESPN reported it as a fact on Saturday. The presence of Adam Schefter’s name on the report created an expectation that, as is usually the case, the formal announcement would follow the report by mere minutes.

It didn’t. Instead, Brady called the Buccaneers to tell them he hasn’t made a decision. His father told multiple reporters that Brady isn’t retiring.

Although it’s a bad look for Bristol in the short-term, it’s still likely that Brady will be retiring. Unless, of course, he returns for one more year to spite his four-letter business partners who spilled the beans without his permission or knowledge.

Which would be incredibly awesome.

  1. The podcast won’t reveal anything. He isn’t going to the Super Bowl this year, so he has to keep attention focused on him somehow. Expect it to drag out a while longer.

  2. Come on Brady. One more year. Get the yardage needed to be the first to reach 100,000 yards passing (regular season and playoffs).

  3. If anyone has earned the right to do whatever he’d like, I think it’s him. He hasn’t said anything (which to a lot of reporters means he’s spoken volumes). Just wait for the words to leave his own lips.

  4. I hope that he announces that he’s going to play another year. That would be awesome. 🙂

  5. Why all the drama and just not come out and say ?
    It sounds a lot like that LeBron James decision fiasco many
    seasons again in the NBA.

  6. Maybe he’ll announce that he’s accepted an NFL Head Coach job. Happens in the NBA all the time .

  7. Tommy Tantrum can’t wait to cast a light on himself…over and over again. I pray he doesnt go to network TV because if I have to listen to this phony call games, I may throw up in my mouth.

  8. Not a huge fan of Brady but I don’t think he wanted this info about his retirement to come out during the playoffs. He just has never seemed like the type of guy who coveted attention as much as other players in the league. I expect tonight he will at the top of the show say he hasn’t made up his mind, say any reports otherwise are false, and get the focus back on the games from the weekend and the Superbowl.

  9. I’ll pass. The only thing worse that watching two-yard Tommy play is listening to his irritating voice. Just go away!

  10. Note to everybody calling Brady a diva: Everybody’s paying attention to Brady isn’t the same as Brady looking for everybody’s attention. The guy walks his dog in public and here comes the chorus: Oh, look! Strutting around like he thinks he’s all that! If you don’t like the attention Brady gets … stop paying attention to him.

  11. Lots of hate for the GOAT if your team had him you wouldn’t feel that way. I hope he doesn’t retire to prove Sheffty and Darlington wrong.

  12. There’s an OC job available in Foxboro. Maybe Tommy would enjoy moving straight from the field to the sideline to call plays for his replacement!

  13. In his “Man in the Arena” series, Brady said that as long as he could play at an elite level, he wouldn’t retire. He just led the league in yards, completions and touchdowns and should be the MVP. So the retirement talk doesn’t make sense. But he will retire. Why? Because he knows he can’t win another Super Bowl in Tampa Bay. The Bucs have cap issues and you could make a good team with all the unrestricted free agents they have. They are in rebuild mode. Brady will then unretire in, oh, say April and will then sign with the 49ers. San Francisco has a top tier roster, but lacks an elite QB. The 49ers will trade Garoppolo for a water cooler to be named later and Brady will play for his boyhood team, a short distance from his family in San Mateo. He still has lots in the tank. He’ll play next year and the 49ers will be the Super Bowl favorites.

  14. Yes, It is the Media! Very much like Princess Di calling the Poparazzi , telling them where she was going to be and then complaining that she could never get any privacy. ESPN aside, TB12 website put out that Tom was retiring and then posted a retrospective on him and his career. He may keep one of these around to look at in his spare time, but it was most likely prepared by his staff for his retirement. Brady and his people screwed this up and got some blowback from the NFL because of his timing on the eve of Championship Weekend. The only question now is whether he will play another year out of spite.

  15. Isn’t it obvious to everyone by now that Don Yee is trying to leverage the Bucs to get Brady to a legit contender for 2022? SF namely…

  16. Tom B is the GOAT. There’s no doubt about that but do we all need to hear about him 24/7?

  17. How true is the rumour that he cashes another 15 M check if he waits till feb 4 to announce his retirement?

    —————————————————————————–

    So few posters on here seem to understand NFL contracts. Brady can’t just sign with the 49ers, the Bucs own his rights. Retiring doesn’t make that go away.

  19. He has 15 million reasons to keep everyone guessing. I want to see the podcast come Feb 8th after he gets his payday.

  20. Schefter is the one who put this out there. Blame him, not Brady. He Tweets things out there to be the first one, and then has to walk it back when it turns out to be inaccurate.

  21. I read on this post that he cant announce his retirement officilly until after Feb 3 or he misses out of 15 mil. If he says anything it has to be that he still hasnt made a decision yet even though he has but cant announce it.

  22. Tom Brady has too much class to take the spotlight away from the NFL playoffs. This is all nonsense. Not one thing reported about his potential departure has come out of his mouth.

    This exactly. Even after the time off, the Patriots had to “release” Gronk before he was allowed to go to Tampa Bay. Given all that…someone PLEASE do the decent thing and let him go to SF. I think it’s fair to say he’s earned it. Given the choice of next year without TB12 in the league, or TB12 on the 9ers, I’m pretty sure the league will do anything for the tremendous amount of extra revenue he by himself brings to the league…seriously, Tampa Bay (without Brady) versus Carolina, Atlanta, many other teams…NO ONE CARES!! With Tom Brady…well just look at the ratings.

  24. He’s done he’s just mad that he didn’t get the chance to be the one to make the announcement

    7pm to match 7 rings. No one will ever come close.

    Did Bill Russell announce his retirement at 11pm?

  26. Hailtothe posted in response to my post: So few posters on here seem to understand NFL contracts. Brady can’t just sign with the 49ers, the Bucs own his rights. Retiring doesn’t make that go away.

    _______________

    Right you are, Hail …. So because the Bucs own Brady’s rights, the 49ers will compensate Tamps Bay commensurate to the loss. A first-rounder in two successive drafts sounds about right. The Bucs would jump at that, by the way, because the alternative to holding on to Brady’s rights is nothing.

  27. The LAST thing that will prompt Brady to continue playing is to spite the media. Laughable.

    He just wants to work a way off the Bucs on to a better team.

  28. I have actually never listened to his podcast even once. And I’m a Brady fan too. Its just that I would rather watch him play than listen to him talk into a mic.

  29. Other than the Brady jock sniffers who really cares what he does. Enough already the focus should be on the teams still playing on a diva QB and his obsessed fans.

  30. It’s not on Tom that ESPN tried to steal his thunder. With that said I hope he comes back. His drive and determination remains unmatched.

  31. ESPN lied about Deflategate (and left Mortensen’s story up for years). Why wouldn’t they lie this time?

  32. Tom just wanted to make the announcement properly and do it himself. Shefter just likes to steal the thunder, which is no longer important to anyone.

  33. My prediction: Brady is way too clever a businessman to be concerned at this point with merely another gig as QB. He and Gisele want an ownership stake in the 49ers.

    So he will negotiate with the 49ers to not only play QB there for at least one season, but to be allowed to buy a minority stake in the 49ers, say 5% for $100 million. Gideon Yu bought 1% for $8.5 mil in 2021. The franchise is worth at least $3 billion now but a minority stake would be less than 5% of that, so I’m guessing $100M is fair. The Yorks know well that Brady’s involvement – including, say, a stake by the 48ers in Brady’s fitness, nutrition, clothing and NFT lines, is well worth having Brady’s minority ownership interest.

    As to the messy details of extricating himself from the Buccaneers, they know how much value he created at that franchise and his separation could be handled in 2 or 3 negotiating sessions.

    The 49ers have about $49M in salary cap consideration involved with Garrapolo but that could go away by a combination of trading him and Brady working for a nominal amount (again, in exchange for allowing Brady to invest).

    As a business lawyer in Silicon Valley, this is how I see it going down.

  34. I knew he couldn’t outlast George Blanda 26 seasons, age 48! you need 4 more Tommy, LOLOL
