Colin Cowherd: âTom Brady was always âMr. Focusedâ and âMr. Intenseâ, but after he won his Super Bowl in Tampa I felt like he was never the same. It always comes back to this â three words â âSomething to Prove.â Itâs not money and itâs not fame. After he won without Belichick he was already the GOAT, he was happily married, great family, richâŚbut he always had to prove something, âit wasnât Belichick, it was me.â So when he won in Tampa we noticed last year he didnât bark as much, he didnât complain as much, and you and I knew he wasnât happy around Thanksgiving but he wasnât as angry, he wasnât as pointed, and some of it festered. Nothing ever with Brady festered in New England or ever in the first year in Tampa. Having âsomething to proveâ is a big deal. There was a well-documented story that Tom was ready to move into ownership last year and itâs one of the reasons why I donât like Tampa this year. I donât think theyâre talented enough to NOT be focused. I still think the Rams want to prove that it wasnât a one-off, and I think Sean McVay has stuff he still wants to prove against Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco who had his number. Itâs not a criticism at all, âsomething to proveâ is absolutely healthy, I mean what do you need now? I donât think Tom needs anything. If he had the perfect scenario he would have already been in Miami in the ownership space. Thatâs where he wants to be, not as much on football, where you wouldnât have even thought about 5 years ago.â (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why heâs not buying into the Buccaneers this year as a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Check out the video above as Colin details why he doesnât think Tom Brady has the same fire burning within that he had two years when he first got to Tampa, and lacking that âsomething to proveâ disposition that has made him arguably the most successful athlete in sports history.
