What’s crazy about these three being together is the fact they’ve all played against each other in a Super Bowl.
Oh wow! Neat fact! Never connected those dots! Two brothers playing different teams the Bucs and the Patriots with Gronk and Brady! How rare is that?
Oh shit.. very nice observation.. they should study your brain activity
@@annaiorio4543don’t forget the Brothers played each other in the Super Bowl too
Like rock-paper-scissors too holy SHIT
Sensational
The fact Brady invested that kind of effort with rookies speaks volumes about his character. The more I hear about Brady the more I respect him.
He wasn't doing that with every rookie just the ones that could help him win.
@@dsking416Why make this up?
GRONK , the greatest tight end EVER,,, and SO honest, with the best attitude a human can have .
he served a 4 game suspension for cheating.
I lost all respect the man forever during the 2015 season. Late in the season the Broncos beat the patriots. In the post game interview reporters asked Brady what went wrong. He replied, "well you can't blame the refs." Then proceeded to blame the refs. A few games later in the playoffs, the Broncos beat Brady again handing him this worst defeat and his worst statistical game since his rookie year. When I asked by the press what went wrong, he replied, "Well, they didn't do anything special." The man has all the class of a spoiled fourth grader. And yes, he's kind to those who can help him win.
The NFL's biggest miss was not marketing the fact that Gronk is equally as intelligent and thoughtful as he was savage and ruthless on the field. Sharp guy no doubt
Pretty sure they did ok marketing him as a loveable frat boy lol
Way better marketing him as goofy party animal.
He was super goofy with the pats tho. It took a long time for him to sound this smart lolol
I mean he literally had to ask about a popular football movie that he claims he thought the NFL was like and then couldn't remember the name of his practice sessions, his definitely a gem but also an air head, unless that's the CTE talking in that case that's scary
@@user-eg1ps2vt3m I don't see how him thinking it would be like a movie has a lot to do with his cognitive capabilities. He was probably just young and naive. But Tom wouldn't have had him be one of his favorite targets ever if he wasn't smart. He had to be on the same page with Tom so you know he can't be a dummy.
What a time to live, being able to hear three NFL legends chatting like that.
Uuum no
2 legends (The Kelces)
And Bradys bookbag.
@@limone2464 Both Kelces respect Gronk big time. But I'm sure you know better.
One of the few pros of social media that offsets all the cons
@@limone2464 Travis is more Mahome's "bookbag" than Gronk is Brady's. We saw what happened to Brady when Gronk retired the first time, it wasn't pretty. Gronk is the JJ Watt of offense. An unstoppable force with a short prime because of how physical he plays.
@@andrewstowe4313 naaah Travis was catching passes from alex smith and was still beasting out there.
Change sports kid.
The more I hear players talk about how Tom Brady operated behind the scenes the more and more I believe the “Patriot way” is really the “Tom Brady way”.
I was thinking the same thing
It's the patriot way, Tom Brady just excelled at it and carried it with him.
It's Tom Brady + Bill. You need to have both a coach and a QB who are like that.
@@blickedxbmore like the Brady way. The patriots weren’t good pre or post Brady so I doubt it was the patriots way
@azazelvalentine1762 technically it's the Bill Walsh way.
The longer Brady is retired, the more the legend will grow. And Brandon Spikes was low key one of my favorite players.
Met Brandon Spikes a few years ago. He was super nice guy very down to earth. Not at all how played on the field
Absolutely loved Spikes. My brother called me crazy, I think in 2011, when I said that Spikes was more important to the defense than Mayo. I just felt like he brought the attitude that Mayo didn't. Mayo was cerebral and everything, but Spikes brought an attitude that you can't coach.
Hightower was a blend of the two, and rose up in the biggest moments. Take note that the two years they didn't win the super bowl from 2014-2018 that Hightower was out in the playoffs.
Stopped Lynch on the goal line. Strip sacked Matt Ryan. Two sacks on Jared Goff and numerous hurries.
Brady's legend,speaks for itself.Seven super bowl rings.Don't know if that will ever be broken or tied.
great football name
Dude Gronk is low key well spoken and humble...
Agreed, and he's also perhaps the most charismatic guy to ever play NFL football.
From what i've read, he has yet to spend any of the money that he made on his NFL contracts, he spends and lives off of the money he makes on sponsorships And the businesses him and his brother's own.
With the exception of MJ the most badass athletes on earth are almost always humble guys.
@@scotey i beg to differ. Marshawn lynch accomplished that feat, no more than an hour ago.
@@ryaniam22To each his own. Marshawn might be the funniest, most unique guy to play in the NFL. But he doesn't have Gronk's charisma, IMHO. But they probably appeal to different demographics. I suspect Marshawn is hugely popular with the under-30 crowd.
Am I the only one that loves to hear how Brady was behind the scenes? It’s like how we all wanted to see what Michael Jordan was like behind the scenes in “The Last Dance”. You just can’t get enough of hearing how the greats operated.
100%. The great ones are different, man. Manning, Brady, MJ, Kobe all had that in em.
I love hearing the behind the scene stuff about Brady too. I always hear players say he was the most competitive person they've ever seen..like even if it was checkers/chess on the plane or domino's or whatnot he couldn't stand to lose..like he'd flip the checker/chess board and get mad if he lost...lol...but you could see that competitiveness on display when he played so I believe those stories
those stories have been out there for ever. Brady was very hard on his WR's. if you weren't on the same page you weren't playing. ask Ochocinco
Definitely man! This is the best one of the best things about history
Exactly what I was thinking !!
Hearing Rob talk about him and Tom developing chemistry, the fact that theyve won 4 🏆 together is astounding.
3:40 "when you're thinking you're losing already." Words to live by, applies to almost everything really.
Probably not engineers, though
how you end up 27 with 2 kids a shit job and 3 different addictions
well during the happenings of a football game it's common sense to know that you can't afford to think, given that all that planning and thinking was already been done before hand as a preparation for the game and are also being done with the support of your coaches during the game. Not particularly 'words to live by' in itself though.
@@meaningofreason Broooo it's not common sense and younger inexperienced players make this mistake all the time. Unless you're playing scrabble or Chess yeah you can afford to stop and think sometimesm but in the real world you want to do all the thinking before and after the moment so that in the moment it just flows out of you. See McGilchrist's left brain right brain hypothesis.
Kelce bros have some broadcasting skills. Kudos to them in addition to being the best at their positions
When Jason Kelce retires bring him in the booth and kick out Jay Feely (no pun intended)
Probably the most fun player I have watched in the 50 years I have been watching the NFL. Seeing Gronk catch a 15 yard pass and have 3 backs jump on his back and then carry them another 20 yards before they could get him down, IF they did, was awesome! And he had great hands. Rarely dropped a ball. Plus when he was younger, he had a great first step. One step and he was close to top speed. And it was deceiving. He didn't look fast until you realize he could outrun some defensive backs.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how amazing it is to have New Heights AND Podcast P every week? What a time to be alive.

I'm a Cowboys fan, born and raised in Dallas 60 yrs old. I watched last night the special with you both going to the Superbowl and loved it. Man, I respect you guys and has to be tough to stay committed, even hurt. Not an eagles fan, but appreciate the teams toughness and smash mouth football... you guys are good. Good luck in the 2023 Season !
Shows you how humble Tom Brady is
"I'm Tom." Yes we know. We've seen you on TV......... winning the Super Bowl.
Three of the baddest dudes ever to lace em up telling us how great other guys are.....what a treat!!!
Thanks
what I really enjoy about this podcast is when they do this interview with all 3 people on screen. You can hear , in this case Gronk, talk about certain training and certain issues and both Kelce's just smile and laugh. They are taking in what is being said but you can also see it in there face all the memories they have. All teams are different but in a way they aren't. A lot of the same shit happens on every team. It's cool seeing them all get along and compare each other.
I think the one of the biggest what if’s in the NFL was that 2 tight end set NE used to run with Gronk and Hernandez. For all the evil that Hernandez put out into the world those 2 tight end sets was one of the most unstoppable schemes I’ve ever seen.
No cap
Never would have lost a,sb with him involved
@@bobl6139they did lol
Those two on the football field at the same time were as scary as any two tight ends ever. Too bad Aaron was a psychopath.
He who will not be named and Gronk changed the league. Bill's idea.
Gronk, Jason and Travis Kelce three (3) Super Bowl legends chatting it up I'm so here for all of this...❤I'm wicked excited the NFL season is FINALLY here...LFG!! 🙌🏻🔥🏈
And those superbowls are played against each other..😂
Gronk has 4 which is crazy
As a lifelong Eagles fan that 2017 SB win over a monster Brady performance was so much sweeter. The more I have learned over the years about his approach to the game, the more it's evident that there will likely never be another QB that comes close to his career.
Hard to believe that Brady's only super bowl losses came against Eli and Foles. Wild.
@@mikesmith5559 the first Eli Super Bowl loss was my freshman yr of college - I lost $100 (that I didn't have) and that cured me of sports betting permanently haha
@adamsmith-wi3qg I think that super bowl was one of those moments that made everyone question everything they believed to be true.
Hard to believe the won 6 super bowls, but didn't get it done with what was EASILY their best team.
@@mikesmith55597 right?
If Patrick stays healthy and Reid keeps coaching for a while he has the talent. (HUGE IF!!!!!!!!!)
That is professionalism that's outworking the other teams, that's s why Brady is the GOAT. Even though I'm a Hawks fan and still upset about that play in the SB, my respect and admiration for Tom Brady is enormous this is the guy you want leading your team. Go Hawks
As a Bengals fan, we got to watch that highlight of 49ers beat us every dang superbowl.
We appreciate the Falcons.
"HI I'm tom" reminds me of Tom from 50 first dates😂
I thought the exact same thing! 😂😂
dammit i just said that. oh well i'll forget in 5 seconds.
10 Second Tom!
😂😂😂😂 that's hilarious
How is he supposed to introduce himself? Hi I’m Tom Brady, hall of fame quarterback of the New England Patriots.
Yes sir he is 😂
it' suppose to be the other way around. The rookie nervously introduces himself to the hall of fame qb, and qb say okay. lol
Tom was in a "damned if I do, damned if I don't" situation. If he took the "obviously you know who I am" attitude, then everyone would accuse him of being arrogant!
He could just say “Hey man, glad to have you on the team.” Introducing yourself is pointless. That’s like MJ telling a rook “Hi I’m Micheal Jeffrey Jordan”😂
Just wave 👋 with a superbowl ring on his hand and not introduce himself at all?
Brady and Jordan, people always talk about their insanely competitive nature, and desire to win. While this is definitely true, Jordan was a freak athlete and Brady had an incredibly strong arm.
If you watch his throw at the end of Super Bowl 42 on 3rd down to Randy Moss, although it fell incomplete, Brady launched it from his own 15 yard line standing on the right hash all the way to the Giants 17 between the sideline and the left hash. “That’s like 65 yds, not that crazy from an NFL QB.” Nuh, nuh, nuh, no, he threw it from the right hash across the field beyond the left hash, which adds another 6 yards (hash to hash) + 12 (halfway between hash and sideline) That throw traveled close to 90 yards.
Brady didn’t have the Mahomes, Rodgers mobility to throw a bomb while rolling outside the pocket, but his ability to maneuver, maximize time and space within the pocket was unreal. Brady had an unbelievably strong arm to go along with his intensely competitive nature.
🤣 kid you got to go back to math. Remember a^2 + b^2 = c^2? 68^2 + 6^2 = c^2
4624 + 36 = c^2
C=square root 4660
C= 68.264 yards.
Only off by almost 22yrds.
Edit: I add that so-called 12 yards to the 6, he threw 70.4yards. Long throw but not 90
Lol you took all that time to respond with nonsense. The throw traveled close to 90 yds. It isn’t a discussion
@@ruggedmeetsrefined5345 70 isn't close to 90. Take the L
Brady was unbelievable. I don’t need all that nonsense above. He threw for 505 yards in a Super Bowl loss because Belichick was upset with Butler. 505 yards. WTF
@@ruggedmeetsrefined5345 how is general math nonsense? Trying to show you facts. He still threw the ball far but you’re stating he could throw the ball from the 10 to the goal line, never happened. That diagonal direction doesn’t add a lot of yards lol. Hell do it yourself. 15 to 15 add 17 yards away. 70^2+17^2=c^2
5189=c^2 which equals 72.03 yards.
No matter how many yards I add away from the hash, it’s not adding a lot of yards. The isn’t a loss either, it’s reality.
This one feels like you’re sitting at a table with these 3 legends having a beer. Awesome clip
you must have selective vision or something. there is definitely 3
@frankp7270?
I love how brotherly these two really are you can tell Travis looks up to his brother it’s very relatable
Man, Gronk describing Brady; that's a once-in-a-lifetime QB. Not even once-in-a-generation; special player, made himself and everyone else accountable. Maybe Mahomes can get there but that's a long road.
I suspect that Mahomes would have as many, or even more more rings if he'd been in Brady's position, he's just a better all round QB with a crazy skillset. That said, who knows if he'll be playing into his forties, and Brady's sheer bloody minded will to succeed is unequalled.
The fact is that Brady has those rings though, so this is just a random dudes crappy opinion on the internet lol
@@johnbull1568Exactly, that's why Mahomes was so successful against Brady in the playoffs.
@@johnbull1568 More talented maybe, but Mahomes is NOT a "better all around QB". That's ridiculous.
@@johnbull1568 Arguments like this are difficult though. I mean, I have no idea how many rings Jordan would've won if he were drafted by the Utah Jazz or if Joe Montana had spent his career playing for the Detroit Lions. No one knows; the cards you are dealt are the cards you are dealt. I do know this though; the Patriots were 5-11 with Bledsoe in 2000 then went 11-5 and won a SB with Brady in 2001.
@@happyjemini so successful they played two times in their careers in the post season and brady won both matchups the AFC championship and the Superbowl against mahomes?
The man put that work IN!!!!I am exhausted just hearing how hard they worked!🥵🦍
Calm down now. Getting a bit overexcited there.
Softie
Yeah. Working with people that passionate is really hard. For me it's just a job. good is enough, no need to be extra.
@@gappergob6169I’d like to think NFL players are different because they worked so hard to get there but the regular everyday guy? Absolutely. I just work here man, idc what the CEO is doing
Hardest hitter I knew could barely bench 185. Some guys just have that perfect combination of technique and borderline psychopathic disregard for their own safety.. lot of scary linebackers on the field
Indeed. Hardest hitter I ever played against was probably 6' 210. I used to almost always get the better of a defender when I lowered the shoulder, but after a stalemate with him once, I tried to avoid him the rest of the game.
I'm so glad we kept Gronk in Foxboro for as long as we could.. genuine, hard working blue collar guy who led us to so many accomplishments.... The now older Rob G is a lot more tolerable to listen to!!
He was so young and immature.. said and did some silly stuff, but showed up every week ready to go..
Ty for all your hard work Gronk
Gronks honesty is awesome!!
“Now you know” ☠️🤣🤣. Travis Kelce funny Asf bruh
Life long Lions fan here. It cracked me up when Gronk got traded to Detroit! And said ' nope, I'm retired'
😂 pats fan here…yea that was hilarious!
hmmm, he could have helped them go to the super bowl ;(
@@hisdness1 Nah, Detroit would have destroyed his legacy.
We need tom brady on the podcast everyone needs to blow up toms social media to get him on show
The more I hear about how exactly Brady was working behind the scenes - it is no wonder he achieved such records. He ensured everyone around him was playing as one big well-oiled offensive machine.
Gronk was the ultimate matchup nightmare. If you put a DB on him, you have a wide open WR on the other end. If you put a LB on him, Gronk is wide open 99% of the time. You simply cannot win, your only choice is the best bad choice.
I always played ILB and was the biggest patriots fan. Loved all the LBs they had come through.. Teddy, Mayo, Spikes, Hightower, Jamie Collins was nice when he was young and many more
mayo was so fun to use in madden, childhood mems
Mayo was good for 3 yrs I think then disappeared what happened? Not throwing shade just asking
As a DE, I respect LB's a lot, its a hard position to play and you help us DL a lot
@@josecarrillo3151 He got injured. Blew out his knee iirc, was never the quite the same after that.
Wasn’t Mayo 30? Or 31 when he retired ?
The best thing about all of these podcasts that ex players or even current players is all of the kind of “ behind the scenes” things that are spoken about. Just awesome. Keep it up fellas.
Love the love they gave to Spikes!
Gronk is a great interview. People know honesty when they see it. Rookies come into the league and they are already programmed (incorrectly) on how to talk in front of the media. That is why you see the cut n paste responses. NFL agents should create a montage of Gronk interviews to show the rookies. THAT is how you handle this... first get used to the camera in front of you (this takes time). Once you are over that, you need to be yourself and be funny.
The way Jason loves strength and hard hitting in football is my personal favourite part of this podcast 💪
Gronk didn't want to mention Aaron Hernandez as one of the other two rookies.
Why would he?
@@epic103Aaron was mad good at football
It’s kinda crazy how Travis Gronk and Hernandez all were born in 1989

Cool to see Travis talking to Gronk, as I have often thought he is kind of the "new" Gronk. Such similar dominance at the position and on the field generally.
Kittle the best TE in NFL history. Its not even close. You need to stay off UA-cam for 2 weeks for making such an ignorant comment. Kittle and the 49ers are here to dominate the NFL. Now get lost son.

Imagine Thanksgiving backyard football lining up against Brandon and Takeo Spikes.
Wow, all these years as a Patriots fan, I know Gronk was naturally gifted. It's cool to hear these little things no-one knows. And no-one prepared harder than Brady! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏈
Gronk is hilarious, great interview
its not about introducing himself as tom, because the others dont know, its to build a personal connection with every guy on the roster, and let the new guys know that they can talk to him like with everybody else.
Gronk retraumatized by the mere mention of "Brandon Spikes"
Jason Kelce seems like literally the nicest person in the world and what I have seen from social media about his interactions with fans etc. that's probably a correct assessment. Enjoy the retirement dude.
It looks like they learning, taking notes or something , their faces priceless 😅
Immense respect for these three guys.
3 of my fav NFL players. All no doubt HOF 1st ballot. Notice how the all seem to be great guys too, never hear any crap about them.
It's amazing how Gronk will always make you laugh or smile in every vid!!
“number 1 by far man, he , he can lay the wood” -One of the greatest TE’s , Gronk
The GOAT TE and the 2 brothers interviewing him. Love you GRONK
OMFG The Brandon Spikes chat at the end is fucking gold!
Stories this like and many more is what truly makes Tom the GOAT, because he was bound to make any team better with how he understood the game and demanded things be run the right way.
"When you're thinking, you're losing" - Gronk... so true!
Three HOF'ers, all played agsinst each other in the SB, all have rings, and are all just good dudes with killer stories and insight.
Gronk looks like he went to Blue Mountain state 🤣
He failed senior year so he can start for another season before the NFL draft
Gronk and Travis are big dudes.
What a cool set. I could listen to these guys all afternoon. Wow- charm, being legit, and super cool as well as funny. Fantastic.
Brandon Spikes is one of the rare few players who can say he absolutely leveled Lynch in the backfield on multiple occasions... so it's funny to hear Gronk, all world level blocker, didn't even want any of that smoke lmfao.
Always thought he was an arrogant jerk..but now i realise what a cool legend he was..Giants fan!!!!
Giants blow.
@@neilgunns8391 and so do you 😂
Tom Coughlin was the one that blew. Giants in those years had insane talent along with extremely reliable QB. Only way they could win was to underachieve, get disavowed by the media, and play motivated football as underdog. They could've been a dynasty for that decade if Coughlin could get his players to play to their potential. Unfortunately, only the media was able to motivate the players. @@neilgunns8391
Just goes to show that on field persona and off field personality are often two completely different things.
I didnt know gronk was such a cool dude. Hes grown on me a lot of the last couple weeks from podcasts.
You have to see the clip we’re he talks about bouncing a guy out of the club. He was actually talking about a game. Dude is awesome
We all know who one of those other rookies were gronk was referring to. Heard he was killing it out there. Literally
“Hilarious”
Whoa good one.
Joke was funny like 7 years ago
@@WealthWireCreatorsstill is 😅
Inaccurate. He never killed any of his teammates during or after practice.
Gronk is the homie who talks like a meatloaf but also makes every right move and randomly has over 100k in the market, smart but talks simple, I like it
Honestly, he doesn't have to tell people who he is just because you know him by sight. But he does because the greatest of all time in the NFL sphere anyway probably wants to keep it in the back of his mind while he was playing that he went through a lot to even get drafted let alone play.. treat others the way you want to be treated in even if it was a joke from him it's still shows that he keeps the humility and which we have seen from the man his entire NFL career in the back of his mind.
it doesn't even seem like it was a joke from him- as you said he knows what it's like to be nobody in camp. Some guys might find it amusing bc they know who he is but he does it to show them respect and put them at ease a little.
I think it has more to do with his upbringing and basic etiquette. When you come into a room and there is someone you don’t know and you’re not being introduced, you introduce yourself.
“I know you’re Tom dude” 😂😂 I can see Gronk saying that 😂😂
Things like this are why I hope Brady becomes a coach later on down the line. The man was basicaly leading the Patriots for years as it is
Tom Brady and Payton are guys that just have that will to win like that. If guys like Jackson had that desire to win they’d be insane
I apñreciate the effort in your videos
And that boys and girls is why the Patriots were so good for so long. They had a complete maniac playing quarterback.
Tom Brady introduces himself the same way as Ten Second Tom hahahah
I mean, I always assumed Tom Brady just turned to Gronk and said, “PULL THE LEVER, GRONK!” whenever they needed to do something.
“He can lay the wood” pause 😂
I remember watching Brandon Spikes. Man, he was born in the wrong era. If he was around in the 80s or 70s he could have been a hall of famer (not saying he would have or it would be likely... but i could see it being possible). He hit as hard as anyone I've ever seen and was that nasty against runs, particularly ones up the gut. Sadly pass defense wasn't his strength.
The best football talk ever. Thanks guys
In a documentary the two other rookies aside from Gronk that Brady kept to do extra reps with after regular practice were Aaron hernandez and Taylor price
Forgot Bout Brandon. He was Florida dude right? We had a rb in highschool that was like that. He played lb too and when youd play hit drills hed make ur shoulder numb for a few mins.

I worked as weekly maintenance type for a home that Cameron Diaz bought. The first time I showed up and she was there she walked up to shake my hand and said “hi, I’m Cameron.” In that moment I felt exactly like Rob did when he met Tom Brady.
I love this interview. Really shows a wonderful side
Can we take a moment to really appreciate the game when Brady and Gronk were on the pats. Even before gronk. What a time to watch football. Now I’m watching Burrow cause I think he’s going to be very similar to tom
Burrow who? That didn't age well.😆😅🤣
@@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time so what they are 1-2? the season is still young. Brady had many seasons where it didn't start out right... do you remember his first season with the Bucs? they were AWFUL and yet won the superbowl.
I love Tom Brady and Gronk! Im so glad I got to see them play in my life time.
At the 5:10 mark, all three guys give some respect to Brandon Spikes.
One of the best centers ever and The two greatest Tightends ever just casually talking.
Brady introducing himself just shows that he was raised right. As for him be labeled a ‘dick’ for taking command on the field, that’s totally ridiculous. That’s the QB’s JOB!!!
what is your crack dealer's name?
I took from this that Gronk was saying in his naive, “rookie” mindset he thought Tom was being a “dick” because of his over the top work ethic and expectations but its so clear in this conversation he now gets it, gives full respect to it, made a life long friend from it, and won Super Bowls because of it.
So now think about what this is like if you're trying to be great and the system keeps changing. Every year there's a new QB or a new OC or a new system. Or imagine you have a QB who gets hurt a lot, and you've got to adjust to the backup(s) every time he goes out.
The opportunity you have with a QB and HC who are stable from year to year to year and who have high standards for what they expect, has got to be a huge advantage. A lot more might be expected of you, but the ceiling is so much higher.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Travis Kelce or Rob Gronkowski could become such great players in these very stable systems. Obviously having a GREAT QB is the #1 outside influence, but just having stability and consistent coaching in general is so important starting out.
the brandon spikes shit is hilarious cuz it's so true. Those dudes that aren't even benching 400 but will destroy you just because they're literally built different.
Brady was a leader of men. He showed them, told them and expected nothing but greatness from them, and he did not come off as being better than them. They ran through the wall for Brady.
Man, it would be awesome if you guys could somehow get Brady on here.
The funny thing about Tom Brady introducing himself this way to new players is Peyton Manning introduced himself the same way to Tom Brady when they first met. Brady also had a "Yeah, I know who you are" after that first meeting.
