CHARLES ROBINSON: Brady can sit here and say, I'm about to do something ain't nobody ever done. I'm going to be 43. I want a Super Bowl at 43. I win seven. I win after changing teams. I win in a COVID season. Like you could sit there and go, this might be Brady's greatest.

If he shows up-- say he shows up and just balls out in this game. He has the opportunity to maybe say this is his greatest Super Bowl that he's ever accomplished because of the litany of factors. This could be something that is more special than anything else, that eclipses maybe everything else.

And somewhere Bill Belichick is going to be out there like, oh, my God. This is like my worst nightmare all coming to life here. It's so many things wrapped up in this for Tom Brady, and I think that's why it's fun.

TEREZ PAYLOR: How about this? I wrote this after Tom Brady's last Super Bowl. Like he's close with Michael Jordan as a North American goat. If you win seven Super Bowls in Pro Football-- no listen-- he would have more rings.

CHARLES ROBINSON: Yeah.

TEREZ PAYLOR: That's 53 guys! Like if Tom Brady wins seven, he's got an argument. He's got a claim to that. Hell, he might have it now. So like we're talking about legacy in multiple, multiple ways for this guy.
