Brady recently admitted in an appearance on HBO’s The Shop and raised several eyebrows with what he had to say. During his profanity-laced appearance, the legendary QB spoke candidly about a number of topics, including the difference between what he says and what he actually thinks about some of his opponents.
“From a strategic standpoint, I never want to give away like what we’re doing, you know what I’m saying? Like, I usually say the opposite,” he explained. “Like if they’ve got a s—– corner, I’ll be like, ‘That guy’s unbelievable! I don’t know how they even complete balls over there!’ In my mind, I’m going like, ‘I’m going at that motherf—– all day!’ You know? Because I don’t want to give them any [strategic plans].”
During a discussion with Green about staying politically correct, the future Hall of Famer told the truth about his personal public relations approach.
“What I say vs. what I think are two totally different things,” Brady revealed. “I would say 90% of what I say is probably not what I’m thinking. Which is challenging, you know? And I really admire people that actually can do that, and say what they think, because they invite a lot of other things into their life. And I think there’s part of me that doesn’t like conflict. So in the end I just always try to play it super flat.”
Brady said he admired the approach taken by Marshawn Lynch in how he handled the media.
“I try to think a lot before I speak,” Brady added. “Some people, like my wife for example, she just lets it come out. It’s like fooom and it’s out. I’m like, ‘Holy s–t.’ And you know what? She’s right. You know, her instinct and her nature is usually right with a lot of things that she says and think[s]. And I’m always like, ‘How does she do that?’ ‘Cause I gotta think about it for five and 10 minutes, you know, and think, ‘How do I really deal with this, you know, particular situation or answer?’ ‘Cause I don’t wanna say something that in the end I’ll be like, “[I] wish I would’ve said something different.’”

Brady spent two decades dealing with Belichick and is now able to be himself and be more open to things he has been wanting to talk about without repurcussions.
I must say this version of Brady is a lot more enjoyable in Tampa Bay than he was in New England.
