It is not usually that you just hear Tom Brady get candid in an interview, however that is precisely what occurred two weeks in the past when he sat down for a chat on HBO’s “The Store.” Not solely did Brady get candid, however he additionally gave us a thriller to unravel when he used a curse phrase to explain an opposing quarterback with out mentioning that opposing QB by title. 

Throughout the dialog on HBO, Brady was describing the free company course of he went by means of in 2020 and particularly, he talked about the truth that he wasn’t proud of how one group handled him. 

“There was a narrative in free company and one of many groups, they have been and swiftly they weren’t  within the very finish,” Brady stated. “I used to be pondering, ‘You are sticking with that mom f—er? Are you severe?'”

For the previous two weeks, there’s been loads of hypothesis revolving round which opposing quarterback Brady was referring to when he dropped the f-bomb and one title that retains arising is Derek Carr. The Raiders have been on the quick record of groups that Brady would have signed with, however they backed off early in course of and determined to stay with Carr, which is one cause why the speculation that Brady was referring to Carr positively appears believable. 

So as to add extra intrigue to the thriller, the Raiders quarterback had an attention-grabbing response when he was requested about Brady’s remark this week throughout an look on the Brother from One other podcast.

“From what I do know it wasn’t me, which is nice,” Carr stated. “If it was, I’ve gotten in sufficient hassle making an attempt to problem some folks to fights. As a person, Tom, I do know you bought the rings, but when it isn’t me, then we’re good. What I heard is it wasn’t me and so I am good with that… However hey, if it was, then that is completely different. 

Carr was then requested the place he heard that it wasn’t him and he ducked the query by saying that he did not need to title his supply. As you’ll be able to see under, there was positively some nervous laughter from Carr and if you happen to mix that with the actual fact he introduced up FIGHTING and that he could not say for positive that Brady wasn’t referring to him makes it appear to be Brady was most likely referring to him. 

CBS Sports activities NFL Insider Jason La Canfora just lately walked by means of the opposite groups — and quarterbacks — that Brady might need been speaking about, however as JLC notes, none of them make a whole lot of sense. When you have a look at the record of groups that have been no less than mildly excited about Brady at one level or one other, it contains: The Buccaneers, Bears, Chargers, Colts, Raiders, Saints, Titans and 49ers. 

Throughout the interview, Brady talked about that the group was sticking with their QB from final yr, in order that eliminates the Chargers and Colts, who each introduced in new quarterbacks. That leaves us the 49ers, Bears, Saints, Titans and Raiders. Ryan Tannehill signed an extension earlier than free company and it is unlikely that Brady would confer with Drew Brees with an F-bomb, which leaves us the Bears, Raiders and 49ers. 

In response to Professional Soccer Speak, Brady completely wasn’t referring to the Bears, which leaves us the Raiders or 49ers, so utilizing the method of elimination, it was probably Carr or Jimmy Garoppolo was the “Mom f—er” Brady was referring to, and to be sincere, both reply could be simple to consider.  

The Raiders make sense as a result of it’s extremely attainable that Brady felt jilted by them. In an interview that came about in April 2020 after Brady had already signed in Tampa Bay, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport stated the Raiders have been on the quick record of groups that Brady would have signed with, however they determined to stay with Carr, leaving Brady with simply two groups excited about him on the very finish (Chargers and Buccaneers).
