Tom Brady is one of the most well known names in all of sports. His more than two-decade reign in the NFL cemented his place among the all-time greats. In his retirement days, he has started his commentator career, is part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, and consistently makes appearances on Podcasts.
What he recently had to say on one Podcast has gone viral.

Tom Brady had a lot to say regarding Shedeur Sanders’ draft slide, including addressing his role in the matter:
While Sanders looks to prove his fifth-round standing won’t sink him, the GOAT has shared a message that he gave to the former Colorado star.
In a recent sit-down on Impaulsive, WWE wrestler Logan Paul’s podcast, Brady explained what the feeling was like for him waiting, and how Sanders can make the most of his own experience.
The GOAT served up his news in two ways ..
1 – “I wasn’t part of any evaluation process” on behalf of the Raiders, he claims – which is a shocker of a denial.
2 – “I actually texted Shedeur cause I know him very well, and I said, ‘Dude, whatever happens wherever you go, that’s your first day. Day 2 matters more than the draft,” Brady added. “I was (pick No.) 199, so who could speak on it better than me, like what that really means? Use it as motivation, you’re gonna get your chances, go take advantage of it.”

Part 1 deserves some thought here.
It is odd that his involvement as a Raiders owner didn’t tie in with the team’s draft thoughts at QB … as Tom claims.
But a contrarian opinion is clearly designed to simply surf off the fame of Shedeur and Brady. …
Enter Skip Bayless.
“It is now pretty clear Tom Brady – who mentored Shedeur – told the Raiders NOT to take Shedeur,” posted Bayless,the unemployed and shamed former FS1 hostwho is fired from that job while also being accused in a lawsuit of offering $1.5 million for her to have sex with him.
Brady’s response to Bayless’ unsourced fake news?

“That’s the problem with media, is everyone can just say whatever the (expletive) they want and get away with it. And it’s kind of unfortunate because there actually used to be a lot of integrity in media and there’s way less now because everyone needs crazy voices to get heard.”
“It actually probably hurts a lot of relationships which is not the goal of broadcasting,” the legendary QB added. “It should be to develop and cultivate and solve problems and rather than the critiques, I want people to offer solutions.”
You mean achieve something meaningful behind a microphone?
Maybe Brady can accomplish that.
We know Bayless cannot.
