Tom Brady doesn’t appear to have any tattoos, unless he actually had former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians get a beer tattoo on his leg.
But if the former New England Patriots quarterback had to get a tattoo on his back (and if for some arbitrary reason that tattoo had to be that of an NFL player), we now know who Brady’s podcast would be.
In a recent program let’s go On reporter Jim Gray’s podcast, Brady answered some questions from fans. Questions included “How many yards can you throw a pillow?” About 20, according to Brady, and “What’s the biggest difference between you and Batman?” Brady responded, “He has a better car.”
But the real punchline came when Gray asked Brady which player he would tattoo on his back if he had no choice.
Brady smiled, thinking about the question.
“I’m going to get something with Ronnie Lott,” Brady finally replied. “The tattoos are what I like about him. Maybe his chopped off finger, how about that? His toughness…”
“How do we get these questions?” Brady added. “For God’s sake.”
Lott is an interesting choice, but one that makes a lot of sense for a football-obsessed guy like Brady who grew up a 49ers fan.
Lott is widely regarded as one of the greatest safeties of all time, earning an impressive list of accolades during his career, including eight first-team All-Pro selections, 10 Pro Bowl selections, and four Super Bowl appearances. Victory and selection to the All-Decade Team of the 1980s and 1990s. career choice. DecadeTeams.
Brady has won seven Super Bowls, more than any other NFL player, and he certainly has every reason to respect Lott’s accomplishments.
As Brady also noted, Lott decided to have his amputated finger amputated in 1986 to avoid a lengthy recovery process from reconstructive surgery. Lott later told The Associated Press that seeing his amputated fingers made him feel “sick.”
“I tried to stand up and I broke out in a cold sweat,” Lott said at the time. “It was such a shock. I thought, ‘Oh, man, I should put the pin in that.'” “We’re losing the compassionate side of sports. We’re becoming gladiators. If I became a coach , I hope I never forget the fact that players are human beings. They have feelings. They have emotions.”
Nonetheless, Lott’s ethics work was a huge success on a professional level.
“The way I played was important to me because I knew I didn’t have great athleticism or speed,” Lott said at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“But God always gives you the ability to do one thing, and that’s to try hard. That’s my attitude. If that means going out and meeting someone bigger, faster or tougher than you, you go for it do it.”
With quotes like this, it’s easy to understand Brady’s admiration for Lott.
“He’s such a macho guy,” Brady told Gray on the podcast.
