Tom Brady Compares NFL Seasons To Military Deployments And I Blame Steven Cheah

“I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment in the military, and it’s like, ‘man, here I go again,’” Brady said. “There’s only one way to do it. And I think Jim, we’ve talked from time to time just about how do you enjoy the certain moments of it?

“The reality is you can really only be authentic to yourself, right? Whenever you may say, ‘Oh man, I want to, you know, make sure I spend a little more time doing this.’ When it comes down to it, your competitiveness takes over and as much as you want to have this playful balance with the work balance, you’re going to end up doing exactly what you’ve always done, which is why you are who you are. You’re going to go, ‘how the (expletive) do I get it done?’ You know, ‘what do I got to do to get it done?’”

First of all, anyone who takes this seriously should not be taken seriously. 

That being said, hard not to blame Cheah here. His Bucs are fighting for their lives and he's out here on streams playing fuck fuck games with the boys and wearing a silly little mask? He's not in the trenches. He's not in the film room like he was in the glory days (two years ago), and, as we say in the actual military, complacency kills and that complacency has the Bills, Chiefs, Rams, Giants, and Eagles with their crosshairs firmly on the tall-haired, handsome boy Cheah and his cast of ragtag Bucs characters. They weren't wearing masks from the wheel - as just as it may be - on Normandy. They were focused. They were prepared. They were waiting in the wings to take down any mig that might come across the middle on a shallow crosser. Tango down and whathaveyou. 

More people should feel like Brady. This is about work. It's about training. It's about being tirelessly devoted to your craft to the point that you would leave your super uber duper model wife so that you can strap on that kevlar one more time to feel the rush as the rounds footballs fly down range at a cyclic rate so long as there's not a wedding to attend or jawline surgery/face tightening to be had of course. Priorities are a thing, after all. 

Steven, now isn't the time to sit back and wait to attack. Rise before dawn.  Do not be lulled to sleep by a lull in the action. No one can ambush you while you're sleeping if you're already awake. Wake up, Steven. Stop pressing snooze. Ask Big Cat for a cup of joe. You know the big fella has plenty. Press forward with a purpose and, for the love of all that is holy, tell Tom Brady to listen to Zero Blog 30 so he can have even more apt comparisons. Your boy loves having a seamless pod plug. #ThankYouTom #EmbraceTheSuckSteven
