Baker said they brought me in to make work fun again for the guys that were not having fun.
When Brady was here.
I honestly, Baker said it was taken out of context and I believe so too.
There’s different ways to lead.
Ok, Brady is very intimidating.
He’s the greatest of all time.
And when he comes to work, he’s not coming to work for the BS.
Brady also knows, hey, I’ve won seven of these things.

He just seems in tune right now and it’s awesome for somebody who got kicked out of an organization and got put the blame like we can do better without you.
And then he’s got to be like a journey man for a little bit finding, you know, his spot where it’s gonna come to life again.
I, I like to give people flowers for overcoming and not giving up.
I I respect that a lot
