[whistle music plays]
2
00:00:10,385 --> 00:00:13,305
[chattering]
3
00:00:20,646 --> 00:00:21,939
{\an8}Any deplorables out here?
4
00:00:30,531 --> 00:00:32,741
{\an8}[cheering]
5
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:34,535
{\an8}[Donald Trump] Thank you, everybody.
6
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:36,954
{\an8}Thank you very much.
7
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:39,581
{\an8}So...
8
00:00:39,581 --> 00:00:42,125
{\an8}I was in the plane
and they handed me a letter,
9
00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:45,003
{\an8}and it was from Coach Belichick.
10
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:46,296
{\an8}[crowd cheers]
11
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:49,508
[Trump] So, we called, we said,
12
00:00:49,508 --> 00:00:53,262
{\an8}"Do you think that Mr. Trump
could read that letter
13
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:55,264
{\an8}to the people of New Hampshire?"
14
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:58,892
{\an8}He said, "Absolutely, if you'd like."
15
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:03,272
{\an8}So, he writes,
"Congratulations on a tremendous campaign.
16
00:01:04,105 --> 00:01:07,943
{\an8}You have dealt with an unbelievable,
17
00:01:07,943 --> 00:01:10,779
{\an8}slanted and negative media...
18
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:13,949
{\an8}- ...and have come out...
- [crowd boos]
19
00:01:13,949 --> 00:01:15,409
[Trump] ...beautifully.
20
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:17,411
Hopefully, tomorrow's election
21
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:22,249
will give the opportunity
to make America great again."
22
00:01:22,249 --> 00:01:23,500
[cheering]
23
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,127
[supporter] Make America great again!
24
00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:26,295
Whoo!
25
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:30,591
[Trump] "Best wishes
for great results tomorrow...
26
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:31,967
Bill Belichick."
27
00:01:31,967 --> 00:01:36,638
{\an8}[crowd chanting] U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
28
00:01:36,638 --> 00:01:38,849
{\an8}Last night, Trump read a letter of support
29
00:01:38,849 --> 00:01:41,059
he said came from Patriots coach
Bill Belichick.
30
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:44,438
{\an8}Of all the things
to keep out of the locker room,
31
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:46,607
{\an8}isn't politics number one?
32
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:48,984
{\an8}Didn't see that coming from Belichick,
because, really,
33
00:01:48,984 --> 00:01:51,570
he doesn't talk about
anything normally at all.
34
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:55,282
You don't say shit to the press.
You get your shit on and get out of here.
35
00:01:55,282 --> 00:01:57,201
We don't need to hear anything from you.
36
00:01:57,826 --> 00:02:00,621
{\an8}[producer] Having always told people
in the locker room
37
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:03,457
{\an8}not to say anything publicly,
because it was a distraction,
38
00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:04,791
{\an8}why did you choose
39
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:09,713
to make a public statement
that you told Donald Trump he could read?
40
00:02:10,422 --> 00:02:13,842
Yeah, my relationship with, uh,
Donald Trump isn't political.
41
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:17,304
I knew him long before
he ever got involved in politics.
42
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:21,099
So... Donald was a friend and...
43
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:23,602
I... I wrote a personal letter.
44
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:26,897
[Devin McCourty] When the letter came out,
45
00:02:26,897 --> 00:02:30,192
{\an8}I felt kind of like, "Man,
we got kind of bamboozled."
46
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:34,696
Bill always said things like,
"We don't want to have to be in the media
47
00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:36,365
talking about these different things."
48
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:39,826
Like, I had some opinions
I might have wanted to share,
49
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,996
but out of respect to the team, I didn't.
50
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:46,375
I personally thought
it was very hypocritical.
51
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:51,380
The Patriot way, it starts with
respecting the men you work alongside
52
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:53,257
and trying to put the team first.
53
00:02:53,257 --> 00:02:56,134
I mean, that's the foundation
for this place.
54
00:02:57,094 --> 00:03:00,222
{\an8}I just don't think he was connected enough
with his players at the time
55
00:03:00,222 --> 00:03:02,558
{\an8}to realize that
that was going to, you know,
56
00:03:02,558 --> 00:03:05,519
{\an8}have an impact on... on the locker room.
57
00:03:07,145 --> 00:03:08,021
[crowd cheers]
58
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:12,526
[Joe Buck]
They have completed the
greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.
59
00:03:13,986 --> 00:03:16,572
[Tom Curran] By the end
of that 2016 season,
60
00:03:17,072 --> 00:03:19,741
{\an8}the Patriots had a Super Bowl win
that was historic.
61
00:03:21,118 --> 00:03:25,122
But instead of solidifying and cementing
what they were all about,
62
00:03:25,122 --> 00:03:27,708
the team's foundation
had started to be chipped at.
63
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:34,798
{\an8}And over the next year, we start to see
a crumbling of relationships...
64
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:37,259
{\an8}...diminishing enjoyment...
65
00:03:38,427 --> 00:03:41,346
...and a certain level of dysfunction.
66
00:03:50,189 --> 00:03:53,108
[chatter]
67
00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:56,111
[Robert Kraft] From the way
the season started
68
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:58,780
to the way it ended,
69
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:02,075
{\an8}I can say that this Super Bowl win
70
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:06,163
{\an8}was unequivocally
the sweetest one of them all.
71
00:04:06,163 --> 00:04:09,458
- [cheering]
- [Kraft] And if you think that was sweet,
72
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:13,921
wait until you see
what we've prepared next.
73
00:04:14,713 --> 00:04:19,091
Rather than serve
a traditional carrot cake for dessert,
74
00:04:19,091 --> 00:04:23,222
we offer a reward that is caked in carats.
75
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:27,851
Super Bowl champions, open your rings now.
76
00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:31,355
["Big Rings" by Drake and Future playing]
77
00:04:43,992 --> 00:04:45,619
I told you
78
00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:48,121
we were gonna bring this sucker home.
79
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:52,251
And we brought it home. Let's go!
80
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:55,087
- [cheering]
- Let's go!
81
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:57,214
[song continues]
82
00:04:59,258 --> 00:05:01,009
{\an8}[Curran] After that Super Bowl win,
83
00:05:01,009 --> 00:05:04,972
{\an8}Tom Brady solidified himself as
the Patriots quarterback for evermore.
84
00:05:06,181 --> 00:05:08,308
And over the next few months,
you began to realize
85
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:11,186
that Tom was going to live
in a way that he felt
86
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:13,397
took advantage
of what he had accomplished.
87
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:17,943
Tom started spending less time worrying
about what Bill thought was okay
88
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:19,695
and did his own thing.
89
00:05:19,695 --> 00:05:24,283
And you saw all of the Brady industry
start to explode and mushroom.
90
00:05:24,283 --> 00:05:25,784
[song continues]
91
00:05:27,911 --> 00:05:29,663
[Tom Brady]
I love the sport of football,
92
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:32,708
and it's nice to be here in Tokyo
to share it with you.
93
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:37,045
What's gonna take you from the level
that you're at now to being even better?
94
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:38,881
Hard work, dedication,
95
00:05:38,881 --> 00:05:42,467
{\an8}and never let anybody tell you
that you can't do something.
96
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,261
[song continues]
97
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,557
[Brady]
I'm faster now
and quicker now than, you know,
98
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:50,517
when I first started playing football.
99
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:51,727
You're faster at age 40
100
00:05:51,727 --> 00:05:53,854
- than at age, like, 18?
- Yeah.
101
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:56,273
[Norah O'Donnell]
If there's a magic formula,
102
00:05:56,273 --> 00:05:59,902
you'll find it inside this
fitness facility near Gillette Stadium.
103
00:05:59,902 --> 00:06:04,489
It's called
the TB12 Sports Therapy Center.
104
00:06:05,449 --> 00:06:08,493
[Kraft] The building of the TB12 business
105
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:13,207
{\an8}represented a new kind of independence
for Tom.
106
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:19,087
{\an8}Tommy was starting to separate from
"team first all the time."
107
00:06:20,464 --> 00:06:22,090
As that happened,
108
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:25,761
it created
a certain amount of tension with Bill.
109
00:06:26,678 --> 00:06:32,059
Especially when it came to
Tommy's relationship with Alex Guerrero.
110
00:06:33,644 --> 00:06:35,395
[song ends]
111
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,105
[birdsong]
112
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,107
[Brady]
All right, are we ready?
113
00:06:42,611 --> 00:06:47,074
Just generically feet, and then
we'll hit legs, two special spots and arm?
114
00:06:47,074 --> 00:06:49,451
[Alex Guerrero] Perfect.
Okay, face up first.
115
00:06:50,702 --> 00:06:52,120
[Brady groans]
116
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:54,957
[Brady] Oh, you're getting in there today.
117
00:06:54,957 --> 00:06:57,960
[grunts] There's a little residue
right there.
118
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:03,674
[Guerrero] Tom and I, you know,
we share a very special relationship.
119
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:12,224
Okay, relax there.
120
00:07:12,224 --> 00:07:15,310
[Guerrero] When you're doing manual
therapy and there's a physical component,
121
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:20,232
along with, I think the emotion of helping
someone, you know, get out of pain,
122
00:07:20,232 --> 00:07:22,317
{\an8}there's some sort of,
you know, connection.
123
00:07:22,317 --> 00:07:24,194
{\an8}People call it having a soulmate.
124
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:25,821
That feels good.
125
00:07:26,321 --> 00:07:30,075
[Guerrero] It became friendship,
it became family, it became a brotherhood.
126
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:37,040
[Guerrero] Blueberry froth?
127
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,377
- What is that right there?
- This is a good mixture.
128
00:07:40,377 --> 00:07:44,298
Over the years, my relationship with Alex
really blossomed.
129
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,470
There's many moments where Alex
helped me through tough times,
130
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,431
physically, mentally, emotionally.
131
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:57,144
I mean, I remember back in 2004,
I was dealing with elbow pain
132
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:59,897
and I couldn't throw at training camp.
133
00:08:00,772 --> 00:08:03,066
God damn, let's wake up!
134
00:08:03,901 --> 00:08:06,445
For the quarterbacks,
we've thrown 12 straight days, so,
135
00:08:06,445 --> 00:08:07,863
you really get worn down.
136
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:12,868
[Brady] When I went to
the treatment people, it wasn't helping.
137
00:08:12,868 --> 00:08:15,954
But when I met Alex for the first time,
138
00:08:15,954 --> 00:08:18,415
my pain went away in my elbow,
in my whole life.
139
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:20,375
So I was like,
"How the fuck did you do that?"
140
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:24,129
[Guerrero] Pliability
is the core part of our method.
141
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,090
I just believe,
if I can keep your muscles pliable,
142
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:30,093
they can sustain the forces
that are put upon them.
143
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:35,515
But if they are tight or restricted,
well, then the load has to go somewhere.
144
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:38,602
So, load's either going to go
on your ankle, knee, hip joint,
145
00:08:38,602 --> 00:08:41,020
your low back,
where people often find pain.
146
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,441
How often
do you do the pliability training?
147
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:45,859
[Brady] As often as I can.
148
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:49,696
Alex and I work together
at least five or six days a week.
149
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:52,282
[Guerrero] Tom caught on early
and then he bought in early.
150
00:08:52,282 --> 00:08:55,410
So, over the course of years,
you'd be able to see the effect,
151
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:57,371
playing at a high level at age 40.
152
00:08:57,496 --> 00:08:59,623
Ah, 40's just a number.
153
00:08:59,623 --> 00:09:00,832
[Brady groans]
154
00:09:00,832 --> 00:09:04,211
[Brady] We set off
on this journey together.
155
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:07,256
A journey of really being proactive
about your health.
156
00:09:07,256 --> 00:09:08,465
[door opens]
157
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:09,633
And over that time,
158
00:09:09,633 --> 00:09:13,053
I really encouraged
all my other teammates to do the same.
159
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:16,348
{\an8}I think there has to be, like,
a medium in everything. I feel like...
160
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:17,516
{\an8}you have to have strength,
161
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:20,644
{\an8}but you have to have pliability
and flexibility. You have to have...
162
00:09:20,644 --> 00:09:23,981
{\an8}I'm not an anti-weight guy.
Everyone thinks I'm anti-weights.
163
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:27,401
{\an8}I think weights with pliability
are optimal. That's what you want.
164
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:30,362
I think you should train for what you want
to get out of your training.
165
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:32,865
You need to be strong, Jules.
You just take a look.
166
00:09:32,865 --> 00:09:35,576
- You need to be strong.
- [laughter]
167
00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:37,494
And I was like, "Guys, this works for me."
168
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:39,955
I had elbow pain my whole life.
I don't have elbow pain.
169
00:09:39,955 --> 00:09:44,376
I had a shoulder that has had
hundreds of thousands of throws,
170
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:48,755
that if you were to do an MRI of it,
it would look pristine.
171
00:09:49,798 --> 00:09:52,759
At that point,
Brady was basically evangelical
172
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:54,845
about the things Alex had done for him.
173
00:09:55,345 --> 00:10:00,267
And suddenly there's a lot of players
who are working with Guerrero,
174
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:02,019
including Rob Gronkowski.
175
00:10:02,019 --> 00:10:03,520
[whistle blows]
176
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,772
[Curran] But when Belichick found out,
177
00:10:05,772 --> 00:10:08,901
things in the building kind of... pow!
178
00:10:10,068 --> 00:10:12,446
{\an8}[fan] Welcome to training camp.
179
00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:17,034
[Rob Gronkowski] The year before,
I punctured my lung
180
00:10:17,034 --> 00:10:21,371
{\an8}and my back was actually blown out,
and that ended my season that year.
181
00:10:22,706 --> 00:10:25,334
So, coming back was very difficult.
182
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:29,171
[crowd cheers]
183
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:31,465
[Gronkowski] I had a terrible off-season.
184
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:34,635
Coach Belichick had a meeting
with me that I was not producing,
185
00:10:34,635 --> 00:10:36,929
that I looked slow, that I looked awful.
186
00:10:36,929 --> 00:10:39,139
I swear Bill was about to cut me.
187
00:10:42,351 --> 00:10:46,271
After that, I went to TB12,
and let me tell you,
188
00:10:46,271 --> 00:10:49,483
after about a couple sessions,
I started to feel the difference.
189
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:53,612
Good. Relax. Good job. Good work.
190
00:10:53,612 --> 00:10:56,865
[Gronkowski] My back started loosening up.
All the pain was going away.
191
00:10:57,783 --> 00:11:02,329
When I hit the practice field,
my speed was coming back
192
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:05,332
and I was like, "Holy shit, that's magic!"
193
00:11:06,041 --> 00:11:10,212
But there was something
with my following Tom Brady's method
194
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:11,797
that some people didn't like.
195
00:11:13,966 --> 00:11:14,967
One of the interesting things
196
00:11:14,967 --> 00:11:18,345
about Rob Gronkowski
subscribing to the TB12 method was
197
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:22,349
Brady and Alex Guerrero
don't push weights all over the place.
198
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:24,476
So, Gronk was saying,
"I'm not doing squats,"
199
00:11:24,476 --> 00:11:28,355
when the Patriots' strength
and conditioning folks were asking him to.
200
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:32,734
At that point, Belichick,
in front of other players, said to Gronk,
201
00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:36,238
"You're not doing these squats, you're
just doing all this fucking band stuff.
202
00:11:36,238 --> 00:11:39,825
No wonder you get thrown around
on the field. You're weak."
203
00:11:39,825 --> 00:11:41,827
[whistle blows]
204
00:11:41,827 --> 00:11:45,122
[Danny Amendola] In Bill's eyes, I believe
there was too many chefs in the kitchen.
205
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:51,336
Just having this other non-Patriot
affiliated professional in the building,
206
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:55,299
{\an8}I can see where, you know,
as a Patriots trainer,
207
00:11:55,299 --> 00:11:58,927
{\an8}kind of, the tension was...
could mount there.
208
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:02,181
[Curran] Guerrero was basically
209
00:12:02,181 --> 00:12:05,434
pissing on Belichick's
strength and conditioning staff.
210
00:12:05,434 --> 00:12:07,728
And the thing about Alex Guerrero
that was difficult
211
00:12:07,728 --> 00:12:10,564
was he had had, in his past, instances
212
00:12:10,564 --> 00:12:13,567
where he was kind of looked at
as a snake oil salesman, a charlatan.
213
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:17,613
{\an8}He was presenting himself as a doctor,
a medical doctor, which he is not.
214
00:12:17,613 --> 00:12:20,157
{\an8}- [Shannon Sharpe] Yeah.
- He claimed
215
00:12:20,157 --> 00:12:23,118
{\an8}he could save lives
of terminally ill patients.
216
00:12:24,286 --> 00:12:25,704
{\an8}- Couldn't back that up.
- [Sharpe] No.
217
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:28,081
{\an8}- Now he's handling lots of players.
- Yes.
218
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:31,084
{\an8}And the training staff,
I'm sure, is outraged over this,
219
00:12:31,084 --> 00:12:33,045
{\an8}because they don't believe in it.
220
00:12:33,045 --> 00:12:37,216
{\an8}[Ernie Adams] Players can talk to whoever
they want to outside the building.
221
00:12:37,925 --> 00:12:41,094
But you can't have somebody in
your building giving conflicting advice
222
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:44,139
{\an8}against what your training staff
are saying,
223
00:12:44,139 --> 00:12:47,684
{\an8}against what your strength
and conditioning staff are saying.
224
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:50,187
{\an8}You know, giving off a mixed message.
225
00:12:50,187 --> 00:12:53,440
{\an8}The New England Patriots
have stripped Tom Brady's trainer,
226
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,237
{\an8}business partner, and close friend
Alex Guerrero of various team privileges.
227
00:12:58,237 --> 00:13:02,241
Guerrero is no longer permitted
to treat players other than Brady
228
00:13:02,241 --> 00:13:05,702
in the office and is reportedly banned
from boarding Patriots' jets.
229
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:09,331
{\an8}
Guerrero's sideline access
has also been revoked.
230
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:17,256
[camera shutters click]
231
00:13:17,256 --> 00:13:20,717
How did you react
when Bill told you that he was
232
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:23,387
removing Alex from the sideline
or the team planes?
233
00:13:24,972 --> 00:13:27,808
{\an8}Uh, I don't really agree
with your question.
234
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:30,894
{\an8}So I don't know what you're talking about.
235
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:33,647
- [reporter] Uh...
- How do you know what he said?
236
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:38,318
[reporter] So are you saying
the report that the access was...?
237
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:41,446
I'm not saying anything. I mean,
how do you say that he said anything?
238
00:13:41,446 --> 00:13:42,990
You don't know anything about that.
239
00:13:42,990 --> 00:13:47,327
I have a lot of conversations with him.
So, those are private between he and I.
240
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:49,913
And I don't think anyone
knows what we talk about.
241
00:13:49,913 --> 00:13:52,499
I've never talked about it.
He's never talked about it.
242
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:57,713
[Brady] The whole situation,
it caused a lot of animosity.
243
00:13:58,297 --> 00:14:02,676
And, I mean, it was so stupid,
because Alex is an amazing guy.
244
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:04,803
He kept me healthy. I mean, if I look at...
245
00:14:04,803 --> 00:14:07,806
There's no way I played
probably 12 years in the NFL
246
00:14:07,806 --> 00:14:10,100
without his commitment to me and our team.
247
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:13,437
And then instead of getting credit for it,
he got blamed,
248
00:14:13,437 --> 00:14:16,273
and I kept going,
"What the fuck is wrong with you people?"
249
00:14:17,566 --> 00:14:20,110
[Gronkowski] There was a lot of turmoil
with Alex and the Patriots
250
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:22,112
and I just didn't really understand it.
251
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:24,990
I'd be like,
"Tom, why are you getting hounded...
252
00:14:25,824 --> 00:14:29,369
...when you're 40 years old
and you're putting up numbers...
253
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,830
...like you're 23 years old?
254
00:14:31,830 --> 00:14:33,999
You're still the best quarterback
in the league."
255
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:37,169
I just didn't get it.
And he would never have an answer for me.
256
00:14:37,169 --> 00:14:40,339
He'd be like, "You know, Rob,
I don't know fucking either."
257
00:14:40,339 --> 00:14:43,675
{\an8}[Tony Reali] Reason to wonder if
all is good between Brady and Belichick?
258
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:46,178
{\an8}I don't know how you can not wonder that,
259
00:14:46,178 --> 00:14:48,805
{\an8}because if we've learned anything
about Tom Brady,
260
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:52,601
{\an8}who otherwise has been
fairly and intentionally private
261
00:14:52,601 --> 00:14:54,311
{\an8}about his life and inner circle,
262
00:14:54,311 --> 00:14:56,313
{\an8}is that Alex Guerrero
sits at the center of it.
263
00:14:56,313 --> 00:14:58,023
{\an8}This is Tom Brady's guru.
264
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:01,693
{\an8}- This guy convinced Tom Brady...
- [Michael Wilbon] To eat avocado slices?
265
00:15:01,693 --> 00:15:04,863
{\an8}- Right. He is the avocado shake-meister.
- [Wilbon] Right.
266
00:15:04,863 --> 00:15:07,366
{\an8}Tom Brady thinks he can play
till he's 100 years old.
267
00:15:07,366 --> 00:15:09,618
{\an8}You know what it seems like to me?
It's a turf battle.
268
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:13,830
[Michael Holley] The whole thing
with Guerrero was a power struggle.
269
00:15:14,331 --> 00:15:16,917
{\an8}You've got Brady
trying to establish his ground here
270
00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:19,044
{\an8}and Belichick trying to hold his.
271
00:15:19,044 --> 00:15:21,755
You just have to think about
the arc of their relationship.
272
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:23,257
{\an8}[players cheer]
273
00:15:23,257 --> 00:15:28,011
{\an8}[announcer]
And the game is over, and
the Patriots are Super Bowl champions!
274
00:15:28,011 --> 00:15:32,224
[Brady] Whoo! How about that, baby?
How about that one?
275
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:36,979
At the beginning,
Brady looked at Belichick as a mentor,
276
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:39,398
who he totally admired and trusted.
277
00:15:39,398 --> 00:15:42,484
[Brady] This is an example of what happens
when guys believe in each other.
278
00:15:42,484 --> 00:15:45,779
And my coach, you know,
it's always with the support.
279
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:47,531
Dream come true.
280
00:15:47,531 --> 00:15:51,201
[Holley] He'd say
exactly what Bill wanted him to say.
281
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:57,165
And during the season, he was even willing
to be a punching bag for Bill Belichick.
282
00:15:57,165 --> 00:15:59,042
- [whistle blows]
- [Bill Belichick] I can't stand it.
283
00:15:59,042 --> 00:16:01,712
Run it again.
Huddle up and run it again, Brady.
284
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:05,215
If Belichick said it was good
for the team, Brady would do it.
285
00:16:05,215 --> 00:16:06,800
{\an8}[crowd clapping]
286
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,678
{\an8}But now, 15 years later,
287
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:12,723
Brady's exerting some independence
288
00:16:12,723 --> 00:16:14,725
and Bill's losing some power.
289
00:16:15,642 --> 00:16:17,144
Not just with Guerrero.
290
00:16:17,144 --> 00:16:21,857
In the middle of the season, there was
also the incident with Jimmy Garoppolo.
291
00:16:21,857 --> 00:16:24,943
[host]
We begin tonight with the trade
that no one saw coming.
292
00:16:24,943 --> 00:16:29,907
{\an8}
The Patriots dealing Jimmy Garoppolo
to the San Francisco 49ers.
293
00:16:29,907 --> 00:16:34,494
{\an8}Garoppolo, it seemed, was being groomed
as the heir apparent to Tom Brady.
294
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:39,625
{\an8}I believe Coach Belichick
was ready to move on without Tom Brady.
295
00:16:39,625 --> 00:16:44,463
And Mr. Kraft, he viewed Tom Brady
like a son, and told Belichick,
296
00:16:44,463 --> 00:16:47,049
"You will move Jimmy Garoppolo."
297
00:16:48,342 --> 00:16:50,385
[Kraft] I never asked him to do it.
298
00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:55,891
{\an8}I just told Bill
that we weren't trading Brady ever,
299
00:16:55,891 --> 00:16:59,353
so... that made it a little awkward.
300
00:16:59,353 --> 00:17:03,357
Bill Belichick was grieving
after they traded Garoppolo.
301
00:17:03,357 --> 00:17:06,693
It's as if he lost
his best quarterback friend.
302
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:13,367
You could just sense that the divide
between Brady and Belichick...
303
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:15,493
...it was widening.
304
00:17:17,871 --> 00:17:20,457
[reporter] Are you still meeting
with Tom and the quarterbacks
305
00:17:20,457 --> 00:17:23,544
on a weekly basis
like you have over the...
306
00:17:23,544 --> 00:17:25,753
pretty much for every year?
307
00:17:26,547 --> 00:17:28,799
I meet with all the players all the time.
308
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:33,637
[reporter] And how would you describe
just the dynamic with you and Tom
309
00:17:33,637 --> 00:17:35,931
in terms of the working relationship?
310
00:17:35,931 --> 00:17:38,016
Has anything changed this year?
311
00:17:40,060 --> 00:17:41,854
Well, every year's different.
312
00:17:44,273 --> 00:17:48,861
[producer]
We talked to a lot of your
veteran players from the 2017 season.
313
00:17:49,486 --> 00:17:53,740
{\an8}Many of them said that this
was the most difficult season they had.
314
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,576
{\an8}Why do you think that is?
315
00:17:56,577 --> 00:17:57,953
[exhales deeply]
316
00:17:57,953 --> 00:18:01,248
I don't know. Every year in the NFL
is a challenging season.
317
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:03,667
Uh, you'd have to ask them
why they said that.
318
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:08,630
[Gronkowski] That whole year,
Tom and Bill,
319
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:11,133
it was like two parents
fighting at each other.
320
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:13,260
There was always so much tension.
321
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:16,597
It was like,
right when you opened up that door,
322
00:18:16,597 --> 00:18:19,308
your asshole is just super tight,
323
00:18:19,308 --> 00:18:22,644
like you're just walking around,
like, clenching your butt cheeks.
324
00:18:22,644 --> 00:18:26,023
That's what it felt like. I thought
I was the only one that felt that.
325
00:18:26,023 --> 00:18:27,357
But then I asked other people.
326
00:18:27,357 --> 00:18:30,235
{\an8}As a player on that team that year,
327
00:18:30,235 --> 00:18:32,654
{\an8}I could feel the tension, uh, building.
328
00:18:32,654 --> 00:18:35,199
{\an8}It was just weird.
You... I just... You just feel it.
329
00:18:35,199 --> 00:18:36,825
{\an8}It's just something you just can feel
330
00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:40,454
within people, within yourself,
within the team.
331
00:18:40,454 --> 00:18:43,081
{\an8}That was a trialing year.
332
00:18:43,081 --> 00:18:46,460
Not just because of what's happening
behind the scenes,
333
00:18:46,460 --> 00:18:47,961
in the building...
334
00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:53,592
...but also what's going on socially
all over the country.
335
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,596
Felt like there was tension everywhere.
336
00:18:59,765 --> 00:19:01,934
[Trump]
We're proud of our country.
337
00:19:01,934 --> 00:19:04,686
We respect our flag.
338
00:19:04,686 --> 00:19:06,772
[crowd cheers and claps]
339
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,527
Wouldn't you love to see
one of these NFL owners,
340
00:19:11,527 --> 00:19:13,820
when somebody disrespects our flag,
341
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:19,076
to say, "Get that son of a bitch
off the field right now, out, he's fired?
342
00:19:20,285 --> 00:19:21,870
He's fired!"
343
00:19:21,870 --> 00:19:24,206
[crowd cheers and whoops]
344
00:19:26,375 --> 00:19:29,169
{\an8}[Donté Stallworth] When Trump
started weighing in on the NFL...
345
00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:31,672
{\an8}I was appalled.
The President of the United States
346
00:19:31,672 --> 00:19:33,924
{\an8}was attacking
a group of mostly Black players
347
00:19:33,924 --> 00:19:36,885
who were taking the knee
during the national anthem.
348
00:19:37,845 --> 00:19:41,014
They were protesting in a peaceful manner
against inequality.
349
00:19:42,224 --> 00:19:45,519
[Trump]
Well, I think
it's a lack of respect for our country.
350
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:49,523
I really said they should try another
country, see if they like it better.
351
00:19:49,523 --> 00:19:52,985
[McCourty] The things that Trump
would say, it made me angry.
352
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:57,406
{\an8}But here we were,
we were seen as, like, Team Trump.
353
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:04,872
Trump's either friends or friendly with
the top three people of our organization.
354
00:20:04,872 --> 00:20:05,956
[indistinct]
355
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:08,750
[McCourty] Kraft's relationship with him,
they were friends.
356
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:10,836
Tom had a hat in his locker.
357
00:20:11,503 --> 00:20:13,422
Bill wrote a letter to him.
358
00:20:14,798 --> 00:20:17,885
When the faces of the team
359
00:20:17,885 --> 00:20:21,388
support something individually
that has nothing to do with the team,
360
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:25,142
that gets thrown on the team,
and we all have to take that.
361
00:20:25,851 --> 00:20:31,857
So, when Trump called us sons of bitches,
the whole locker room is talking about,
362
00:20:31,857 --> 00:20:34,860
"What are we gonna do during the anthem?"
363
00:20:38,572 --> 00:20:42,159
[host]
We take you now to the field
for the playing of the national anthem.
364
00:20:43,869 --> 00:20:45,662
[crowd boos]
365
00:20:45,662 --> 00:20:48,290
Stand up!
366
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:52,461
[national anthem plays]
367
00:20:53,128 --> 00:20:55,130
[fan]
It's a disgrace.
They should be standing.
368
00:20:55,130 --> 00:20:56,924
I liked what the president's saying.
369
00:20:56,924 --> 00:20:59,551
If you're not gonna stand
for this country, you're fired.
370
00:21:00,177 --> 00:21:03,597
Belichick and Kraft
should do something about it. Fire 'em.
371
00:21:05,724 --> 00:21:09,853
[McCourty] You felt the impact right away.
You heard the boos.
372
00:21:11,104 --> 00:21:14,608
And like, if this is what we think
most of our Patriot fans feel,
373
00:21:14,608 --> 00:21:16,485
then they don't know us as players.
374
00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:21,823
Those men that they come and cheer for,
jerseys they buy...
375
00:21:22,658 --> 00:21:24,159
...they don't know us.
376
00:21:24,952 --> 00:21:30,040
Everyone went to work worn down.
You were like, man, like, this is hard.
377
00:21:30,582 --> 00:21:34,670
This is a unique time and a unique place,
but we're making the most of it.
378
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:38,632
We're navigating it as we go.
And we're winning on the way.
379
00:21:39,216 --> 00:21:42,886
[McCourty] But, the one thing is,
when you play for the Patriots,
380
00:21:42,886 --> 00:21:46,849
like, every year we felt like we had
an opportunity to win a championship.
381
00:21:46,849 --> 00:21:52,688
And when you feel like that,
everyone says to themselves, like,
382
00:21:52,688 --> 00:21:54,565
"Let's just try to win a championship."
383
00:21:54,565 --> 00:21:56,733
You know what I mean?
Like, "You do your job."
384
00:21:56,733 --> 00:21:58,569
- [crowd cheers]
- [horns blare]
385
00:21:58,569 --> 00:22:01,363
[Belichick]
Look, fellas,
this is just about doing our job.
386
00:22:01,363 --> 00:22:03,615
Just cover your man.
387
00:22:03,615 --> 00:22:06,034
Do what you're supposed to do.
388
00:22:06,743 --> 00:22:08,287
[Howard Bryant] "Do your job."
389
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:12,082
{\an8}On the one hand,
there's something admirable about it.
390
00:22:12,082 --> 00:22:15,919
{\an8}It's a very scaled-back idea
of America for itself.
391
00:22:15,919 --> 00:22:18,130
{\an8}That we're just all about the work.
392
00:22:18,130 --> 00:22:20,716
But it's also totally soul-sucking.
393
00:22:21,466 --> 00:22:23,385
[announcer]
Brady under center.
394
00:22:23,385 --> 00:22:26,722
Burkhead takes off and he fights for it.
395
00:22:26,722 --> 00:22:28,182
Touchdown.
396
00:22:28,182 --> 00:22:30,601
- [cheering]
- Walking off with another victory.
397
00:22:30,601 --> 00:22:34,146
Fourteen consecutive road games.
398
00:22:35,105 --> 00:22:37,441
[Bryant] They are just winning.
399
00:22:38,442 --> 00:22:41,445
[announcer]
Brady. Gronk pulls it down for the two.
400
00:22:41,445 --> 00:22:45,199
[analyst]
You're looking at the greatest
quarterback. He's the MVP of the league.
401
00:22:45,949 --> 00:22:48,076
[Bryant] And they're doing it
without a smile.
402
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:51,580
They're doing it
without a great deal of personality.
403
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:53,707
[Belichick]
Every week now,
the games keep getting bigger.
404
00:22:54,166 --> 00:22:55,584
We're playing for more every week.
405
00:22:55,584 --> 00:22:58,128
They're getting bigger,
so we gotta approach 'em that way.
406
00:22:58,128 --> 00:22:59,963
[Bryant] Very business-like.
407
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:02,257
Very cold.
408
00:23:03,550 --> 00:23:04,635
Joyless.
409
00:23:05,552 --> 00:23:07,471
[announcer]
Brady, looking in the end zone.
410
00:23:07,471 --> 00:23:10,015
Now gets rid of it for the touchdown!
411
00:23:10,015 --> 00:23:12,017
[analyst]
Easy New England touchdown.
412
00:23:12,017 --> 00:23:14,895
[announcer]
And the Patriots
will head to the post-season.
413
00:23:14,895 --> 00:23:19,483
Even when they made the playoffs,
they were not welcoming you to the party.
414
00:23:19,483 --> 00:23:20,943
There was no party.
415
00:23:20,943 --> 00:23:24,738
Hey, do your job, right?
Go there and score, huh?
416
00:23:24,738 --> 00:23:26,990
[announcer]
Brady throws it.
417
00:23:26,990 --> 00:23:28,784
Touchdown, Amendola.
418
00:23:28,784 --> 00:23:30,160
[analyst]
Belichick ecstatic.
419
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,704
- [announcer]
Yeah, Belichick going wild.
- [analyst chuckles]
420
00:23:32,704 --> 00:23:34,289
[announcer]
The clock hits zero
421
00:23:34,289 --> 00:23:37,251
and the Patriots
are going back to the Super Bowl.
422
00:23:37,251 --> 00:23:39,878
[analyst]
Did you think anything else
was gonna happen?
423
00:23:40,379 --> 00:23:44,216
[Bryant] At the end of the day,
this team was tied together
424
00:23:44,216 --> 00:23:46,760
by the idea
425
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,847
that all of this is worth it...
426
00:23:50,556 --> 00:23:51,849
...if we win.
427
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:56,645
[Al Michaels]
Hey, folks,
come on in out of the cold
428
00:23:56,645 --> 00:24:00,065
and into the US Bank Stadium
in downtown Minneapolis.
429
00:24:00,732 --> 00:24:05,988
{\an8}
Philadelphia taking on New England
as we get set for Super Bowl 52.
430
00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:07,573
{\an8}[crowd cheers]
431
00:24:07,573 --> 00:24:10,742
[stadium announcer]
And now, the AFC champions,
432
00:24:10,742 --> 00:24:13,328
New England Patriots.
433
00:24:15,914 --> 00:24:18,292
[announcer]
For the Patriots
going into this game,
434
00:24:18,292 --> 00:24:21,587
there's been 5 Super Bowl championships,
7 Super Bowl appearances.
435
00:24:21,587 --> 00:24:23,964
The two constants,
Bill Belichick, the coach,
436
00:24:23,964 --> 00:24:26,008
and the quarterback, Tom Brady.
437
00:24:26,842 --> 00:24:28,594
[analyst]
Bill Belichick and Tom Brady
438
00:24:28,594 --> 00:24:30,971
are the most successful duo
in NFL history.
439
00:24:30,971 --> 00:24:34,808
But lately here's been a lot of noise
around the Patriots organization,
440
00:24:34,808 --> 00:24:37,019
and it doesn't sound as if it's quieted.
441
00:24:39,271 --> 00:24:42,191
[Matthew Slater] I remember going
into that game feeling like,
442
00:24:42,191 --> 00:24:44,401
"All right, this was a long year."
443
00:24:44,401 --> 00:24:46,945
I think that was a year
where guys will tell you,
444
00:24:46,945 --> 00:24:49,781
"Man, maybe I didn't love ball
the way I should have."
445
00:24:49,781 --> 00:24:54,453
But our quest to win the title
is not gonna change.
446
00:24:54,453 --> 00:24:56,872
Our end goal
is the same as it's always been.
447
00:24:56,872 --> 00:24:59,249
It's to win a championship,
to win a Super Bowl.
448
00:24:59,249 --> 00:25:02,628
They told me I could
only give this speech once in a lifetime!
449
00:25:02,628 --> 00:25:04,421
But we back, fellas!
450
00:25:05,130 --> 00:25:07,257
[McCourty] I remember getting ready to go,
451
00:25:07,257 --> 00:25:11,386
trying to give the team the boost,
the lift, just doing what I normally do.
452
00:25:11,386 --> 00:25:13,639
We dominate, fellas, no tomorrow.
453
00:25:13,639 --> 00:25:15,265
Dominate on three. One, two, three!
454
00:25:15,265 --> 00:25:16,517
[players] Dominate!
455
00:25:16,517 --> 00:25:19,186
[McCourty] Little did we know
we're about to witness
456
00:25:19,186 --> 00:25:22,814
one of the greatest New England
mysteries of all time.
457
00:25:23,649 --> 00:25:27,819
[Michaels]
Malcolm Butler
very emotional on the sideline.
458
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:30,906
[Malcolm Butler]
I was very emotional, man.
459
00:25:30,906 --> 00:25:33,825
Like, I didn't feel like
I was being treated right,
460
00:25:33,825 --> 00:25:37,955
because I didn't find out until the game
461
00:25:37,955 --> 00:25:39,915
{\an8}that I wasn't going to play.
462
00:25:39,915 --> 00:25:42,167
[reporter]
Well, I got a chance
to speak with Bill Belichick
463
00:25:42,167 --> 00:25:45,003
and I asked him why
he did not start Malcolm Butler
464
00:25:45,003 --> 00:25:47,548
and why Butler's not playing
on defense and he said,
465
00:25:47,548 --> 00:25:51,260
"I made the decisions
that give us the best chance to win."
466
00:25:52,010 --> 00:25:53,929
[McCourty] If you'd told me
going into the game,
467
00:25:53,929 --> 00:25:55,389
"Malcolm Butler's not going in.
468
00:25:55,389 --> 00:25:57,724
Do you think that helps you win?"
I would say no.
469
00:25:58,725 --> 00:26:01,645
For that year, 98 percent of the time,
470
00:26:01,645 --> 00:26:04,857
Malcolm was on the field
playing with us on defense.
471
00:26:05,941 --> 00:26:09,945
And then 3 years before, at Super Bowl 49,
472
00:26:09,945 --> 00:26:12,072
he saves the game.
473
00:26:13,282 --> 00:26:15,659
[Cris Collinsworth]
Intercepted!
Intercepted to Malcolm Butler!
474
00:26:15,659 --> 00:26:17,536
[players cheer]
475
00:26:17,536 --> 00:26:20,789
[Michaels]
Malcolm Butler, unreal!
476
00:26:22,124 --> 00:26:24,751
As players,
I know that we all felt strongly
477
00:26:24,751 --> 00:26:27,796
that Malcolm should've been out there,
but that's not our call.
478
00:26:28,589 --> 00:26:32,801
And at the end of the day,
we trust our coach.
479
00:26:34,928 --> 00:26:38,599
[Michaels]
Two weeks of hype,
and as the great John Madden used to say,
480
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,601
"It's time for a game to break out."
481
00:26:40,601 --> 00:26:42,519
[yells indistinctly]
482
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:44,438
[Michaels]
Brady begins this drive.
483
00:26:48,192 --> 00:26:49,651
Big hole, left side.
484
00:26:49,651 --> 00:26:54,239
James White, inside the ten,
takes it to the end zone.
485
00:26:54,239 --> 00:26:55,490
Touchdown, Patriots.
486
00:26:57,117 --> 00:26:58,952
Let's fucking go!
487
00:27:00,954 --> 00:27:02,414
[Josh McDaniels] When we scored,
488
00:27:02,414 --> 00:27:05,125
{\an8}I remember telling Bill,
"I don't think they can stop us."
489
00:27:05,792 --> 00:27:08,170
But, as things continued,
490
00:27:08,170 --> 00:27:11,590
I just felt like the game was, like,
out of control.
491
00:27:12,174 --> 00:27:14,009
[Michaels]
And they're gonna snap it,
492
00:27:14,009 --> 00:27:17,930
and it's Trey Burton who throws...
Caught, touchdown!
493
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:19,723
[Collinsworth]
Wow!
494
00:27:19,723 --> 00:27:21,099
[McDaniels] Philly's scoring...
495
00:27:21,725 --> 00:27:23,310
[Michaels]
Brady. Caught!
496
00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:25,562
Gronkowski for the touchdown.
497
00:27:26,188 --> 00:27:27,981
[McDaniels] And we're scoring again.
498
00:27:28,774 --> 00:27:31,985
Both teams were putting up
a lot of points and yards,
499
00:27:31,985 --> 00:27:33,695
and it's like, "Holy cow,
500
00:27:33,695 --> 00:27:36,406
is this really gonna be
who has the ball last?"
501
00:27:39,493 --> 00:27:41,954
[Michaels]
Pass goes up to the 23-yard line.
502
00:27:41,954 --> 00:27:46,124
Agholor breaks away
and picks up a first down.
503
00:27:46,124 --> 00:27:48,877
[Collinsworth]
This defense
for the New England Patriots,
504
00:27:48,877 --> 00:27:51,547
they are really struggling with this pace.
505
00:27:51,547 --> 00:27:55,801
[Michaels]
Butler still on the bench.
Has not played a defensive snap tonight.
506
00:27:57,052 --> 00:27:59,972
[Slater] Seeing how the game
was transpiring, it's like, well,
507
00:27:59,972 --> 00:28:02,432
man, we kinda need him
in there right now. I mean,
508
00:28:02,432 --> 00:28:05,853
can we get him in there to stop the bleed?
509
00:28:08,146 --> 00:28:09,565
[Michaels]
Fake to Blount.
510
00:28:09,565 --> 00:28:12,234
Foles fires down the sideline.
Caught, first down.
511
00:28:12,818 --> 00:28:14,236
Damn it!
512
00:28:14,236 --> 00:28:16,864
[Nora Princiotti] They were getting
creamed defensively.
513
00:28:16,864 --> 00:28:18,949
And Bill's not putting him in.
514
00:28:19,950 --> 00:28:22,119
It can't be performance-based.
515
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,580
{\an8}He played practically every snap
your entire season.
516
00:28:24,580 --> 00:28:26,957
{\an8}And it's like, "What is going on here?"
517
00:28:27,457 --> 00:28:30,043
[producer] Why was Malcolm Butler
sitting on the sidelines?
518
00:28:30,043 --> 00:28:35,966
I don't have one bit of information
about that to this day.
519
00:28:35,966 --> 00:28:38,427
I talked to coaches, other players, like,
520
00:28:38,427 --> 00:28:42,389
none of us ever heard what happened
or why it happened.
521
00:28:42,973 --> 00:28:47,811
People still ask me that now, to this day,
"Why you didn't play in the Super Bowl?"
522
00:28:47,811 --> 00:28:50,022
I'm like, "I don't know,
man, coach's decision."
523
00:28:51,857 --> 00:28:54,651
But the thing about it,
I really don't know.
524
00:28:54,651 --> 00:28:56,486
I really don't.
525
00:28:57,863 --> 00:29:02,409
Just to, like,
leave me watching my team suffer
526
00:29:02,409 --> 00:29:05,329
when I know I can help them...
527
00:29:06,580 --> 00:29:08,582
...like, not one rep.
528
00:29:10,083 --> 00:29:11,710
Not one rep.
529
00:29:12,252 --> 00:29:13,795
[indistinct remark]
530
00:29:16,298 --> 00:29:19,551
[Michaels]
The pass
into the end zone and it is...
531
00:29:19,551 --> 00:29:21,720
Yes, touchdown!
532
00:29:22,763 --> 00:29:26,892
Bill Belichick watching his defense
pretty much getting shredded.
533
00:29:26,892 --> 00:29:27,976
[whistle blows]
534
00:29:32,731 --> 00:29:34,691
[producer] In the 2017 season,
535
00:29:34,691 --> 00:29:37,444
Malcolm Butler played 98 percent
of the snaps.
536
00:29:37,444 --> 00:29:41,990
Why was he only on the field for one play
during the Super Bowl?
537
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,910
Matt, we've talked about that.
538
00:29:47,579 --> 00:29:49,456
[producer] I didn't ask you about it.
539
00:29:56,713 --> 00:29:58,590
[Kraft] What has been told to me
540
00:29:58,590 --> 00:30:02,594
is that there was something personal
going on
541
00:30:02,594 --> 00:30:07,474
between Bill and Malcolm
that was not football-related.
542
00:30:08,725 --> 00:30:13,063
Hey, fellas, just do our job now.
Read our keys on the play action.
543
00:30:13,063 --> 00:30:14,523
Just do our job!
544
00:30:15,399 --> 00:30:19,987
[Kraft] I always felt
that every decision Bill had made
545
00:30:19,987 --> 00:30:24,950
had been to put what was
in the best interests of the team first
546
00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:26,869
and put emotion aside.
547
00:30:27,703 --> 00:30:31,707
But with Malcolm,
he did just the opposite.
548
00:30:32,457 --> 00:30:36,420
[Michaels]
It's a 1-point game.
The clock keeps on ticking.
549
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:39,590
The Philadelphia Eagles
trying to win the big game.
550
00:30:47,848 --> 00:30:51,268
[Michaels]
Caught over the middle
and into the end zone!
551
00:30:51,268 --> 00:30:52,728
[Collinsworth]
It's over!
552
00:30:53,812 --> 00:30:56,607
The Eagles have beaten
the New England Patriots!
553
00:30:57,524 --> 00:30:59,151
The confetti flies,
554
00:30:59,151 --> 00:31:01,612
and it's the color of green.
555
00:31:03,906 --> 00:31:05,699
[crowd cheers]
556
00:31:10,245 --> 00:31:14,791
[Amendola] I remember walking off
the field that night just really confused.
557
00:31:15,542 --> 00:31:18,337
That was the biggest game of our lives
at the moment,
558
00:31:18,337 --> 00:31:20,214
and Malcolm's not on the field.
559
00:31:20,964 --> 00:31:23,634
That shit kind of pisses me off
still today.
560
00:31:25,636 --> 00:31:28,597
I mean, we played our asses off.
561
00:31:29,723 --> 00:31:32,267
Tom threw for 500-plus yards,
562
00:31:32,267 --> 00:31:35,729
which in the Super Bowl
had never been done.
563
00:31:37,189 --> 00:31:40,400
{\an8}We're out there
literally putting our bodies on the line,
564
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,196
{\an8}our heads on the line for, you know,
our friends, our family, our teammates,
565
00:31:44,196 --> 00:31:46,698
and to not get an explanation, like...
566
00:31:47,491 --> 00:31:50,494
I felt like we got cheated a little bit,
honestly, and I don't...
567
00:31:50,494 --> 00:31:52,246
I don't feel bad saying that.
568
00:31:54,706 --> 00:31:56,792
[Gronkowski] When we lost
to the Philadelphia Eagles,
569
00:31:56,792 --> 00:31:59,628
I was like, "I'm done."
I remember there were so many guys
570
00:31:59,628 --> 00:32:03,215
{\an8}in the shower after the game. Like, "Dude,
I'm so glad the fucking season's over.
571
00:32:03,215 --> 00:32:04,925
{\an8}I'm getting the fuck out of here."
572
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,470
[Princiotti] After that Super Bowl...
573
00:32:09,388 --> 00:32:11,932
...I've never been
in a more, sort of, horrified,
574
00:32:11,932 --> 00:32:13,892
dejected-feeling...
575
00:32:14,977 --> 00:32:16,228
...locker room.
576
00:32:18,522 --> 00:32:22,776
It seemed pretty clear that Belichick
might have been losing the team,
577
00:32:22,776 --> 00:32:26,822
and that quite a few unhappy players
578
00:32:26,822 --> 00:32:28,866
were leaving that off-season...
579
00:32:30,284 --> 00:32:32,119
...including Malcolm Butler.
580
00:32:33,453 --> 00:32:37,916
{\an8}He makes this post
where he says goodbye, and...
581
00:32:37,916 --> 00:32:41,545
{\an8}Brady commented very glowingly
and lovingly.
582
00:32:43,797 --> 00:32:46,508
He seemed to be very sympathetic
583
00:32:46,508 --> 00:32:49,261
to Malcolm's plight, whatever that was.
584
00:32:50,554 --> 00:32:53,932
And then Danny Amendola,
who's been this real fixture and receiver
585
00:32:53,932 --> 00:32:56,852
that Brady had this real connection with
also left.
586
00:32:57,936 --> 00:33:00,939
{\an8}At that point, Gronk comments
587
00:33:00,939 --> 00:33:04,776
{\an8}on some post of Danny Amendola's, writing,
588
00:33:04,776 --> 00:33:06,778
"Be free, be happy."
589
00:33:06,778 --> 00:33:09,072
[laughing] It felt like
there was a mutiny!
590
00:33:11,074 --> 00:33:14,411
It was kind of a shot, you know,
at Coach Belichick a little bit,
591
00:33:14,411 --> 00:33:18,123
because it just didn't feel like
you could be
592
00:33:18,123 --> 00:33:22,503
who you really wanted to be
that whole entire year with the Patriots.
593
00:33:22,503 --> 00:33:25,506
- Go!
- [indistinct instructions]
594
00:33:25,506 --> 00:33:28,800
[Gronkowski] It was weird.
It was like, football's already stressful.
595
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,764
Why are we adding more when we're already
doing everything we possibly are doing?
596
00:33:33,764 --> 00:33:37,017
It's just so un-fucking-necessary.
597
00:33:41,813 --> 00:33:43,607
{\an8}[Brady]
All right, boys?
598
00:33:47,027 --> 00:33:50,197
[interviewer]
So... how are you feeling, man?
599
00:33:51,281 --> 00:33:53,075
I'm feeling, um...
600
00:33:53,492 --> 00:33:55,744
["Cherry Tree" by The National plays]
601
00:33:55,744 --> 00:33:57,412
It's a loaded question.
602
00:34:01,166 --> 00:34:02,543
It's a big commitment.
603
00:34:03,961 --> 00:34:08,382
I've given my body, my everything,
every bit of energy for 18 years to it.
604
00:34:09,675 --> 00:34:11,717
And you go, "What are we doing this for?"
605
00:34:12,344 --> 00:34:15,304
You know, "What are we doing this for?
Who are we doing this for?
606
00:34:15,304 --> 00:34:16,514
Why are we doing this?"
607
00:34:17,181 --> 00:34:19,393
You gotta have answers to those questions,
608
00:34:19,393 --> 00:34:21,645
and they have to be
with a lot of conviction.
609
00:34:22,688 --> 00:34:25,983
When you lose your conviction, you
probably should be doing something else.
610
00:34:31,071 --> 00:34:32,447
[Kraft] At that point...
611
00:34:33,614 --> 00:34:35,534
...I don't think Tommy was himself.
612
00:34:37,034 --> 00:34:42,498
Over the years, he made
a lot of sacrifices to be with us.
613
00:34:43,708 --> 00:34:47,713
And I don't think he felt appreciated.
614
00:34:49,339 --> 00:34:53,385
I realized we were coming near the end,
615
00:34:53,385 --> 00:34:58,432
and I was just trying to hold it together
the best I could.
