tom brady. we said that after michael jordan. then came kobe bryant. then lebron james. kind of filled that very nicely. you can 100% say there will never be another tom brady. another guy drafted in the sixth round who goes on to win seven super bowls. never going to happen. never going to see another like ge guy like him. >> i will not recognize if there are professional players younger than me. i just won't do it. i will not acknowledge it. one of the things most interesting in the last week after the epic game against the rams where brady almost came back and won, he did a podcast with jim gray where he talked about his consideration in terms of the next step forward. that was kind of the moment where people said, oh, wow, he's actually considering hanging it up. what were kind of the considerations that brady was weighing as he went into this moment. >> he said it was going to be all about his family. it was going to be a group decision. what did his wife want. it hurts her to see him get hit every sunday. a big decision had to be his kids. he always said it was to c

tom brady. you can say that with absolute certainty. we said when michael jordan retired, we would never have another. kobe bryant and lebron james filled that void nicely. tom brady, drafted sixth round, pick 199, won seven super bowls. it is going to be a hollywood movie, already is. something we'll never see again. we're all privileged to have lived in this time and witnessed it. >> so true. he's such a legend which is why we're all talking about this tonight and wondering is it true, is it not. andy scholes, thank you so much. >> all right, pam. >>> i'm going to sports broadcaster bob costas. bob, great to see you. what do you make of the reports that tom brady is retiring? >> i would say all indications are that the only thing we're missing is some kind of press conference where we actually see tom brady. even this leaking out the way it has is a little surprising because tomorrow are the conference championship games and two weeks after that, the super bowl. and generally tom wouldn't want to intrude on any of that, even a tweet or rumored reports, he's such

. >> if i was taking two individuals, it would be michael jordan and tom brady because they are contemporaryh, the first time he changed his name from cassius clay to mohammed ali, and all we are doing is greatest of all time, michael jordan, tom brady and the original greatest of all time but ali. this is unique and comes with a letter from the wdc which sanctioned the fight. it is photo matched and we expected to go 500,$000 and ali would've would've celebrated his eightieth birthday. stuart: ken golden, you seem to have a lock on important sports memorabilia and thanks for telling us what you've got. it is your commercial. >> golden.ceo. it closes february 5th, over 5000 collectibles. stuart: that is another story. see you soon. back to the market, the dow 30, sense of where we are, a lot of selling going on and all the major indicators are down again this wednesday morning. covered cases down 39% the last week. does this mean we are past the peak or close to it? senator bill cassidy joins us. he is a doctor and he will take on peak covid next. ♪♪ care. it has the power to change the way

now think about that regarding michael jordan. or tom uniform. or tiger woods. just distinctively graceful in the way they played their respective sports. >> i think that's such a smart point. by the way, on your mount rushmore point i think i'd put simone biles in there. got to get a woman on there as well. >> yeah. i'm good with it. i'm good with it, pam. >> as long as we're in agreement, that's awesome. what's also important to point out here is he was a beautiful player on the field as you you just laid out so eloquently, but also anyone who played with tom always raved about him. >> yes. >> what made him such a great leader? >> well, he had those qualities, that it factor. i heard charlie weiss, the offensive coordinator under bill belichick for some of those championship teams, earlier today say that when drew bledsoe got hurt, and bledsoe was the starting quarterback in the early 2000s, he gets hurt brady emz steps in, sixth round draft choice no, real nfl resume at that point, and even in that moment he wasn't the least bit nervo

tom brady mean to the nfl in terms of fans and how they identified with him? >> well, i think you know, any stadium he went into, he was the lebron james of the nfl. michael jordan. kobe bryant. you have tom brady in the building, it's on fire. and i just think overall, this guy left new england, winning super bowls and went to tampa and had success early on. immediate success. i just think the ore that he carried with him says a lot and obviously if you can have him on your team, you knew that you were going to have an opportunity to compete week in and week out. an opportunity to play in championship games and win super bowls. he's just, he's been unreal and i don't think there will ever be another player like him come through. >> i've asked a couple of folks this. i want people to try and understand the idea of a 44-year-old not just still playing in the nfl, but playing at such an elite level. as somebody who played, took the beating week in and week out, can you describe just how rare it is for somebody to, not just play, but succeed in the nfl a at tom brady's age? >> well, it's rare. i know the league has changed a lot over the ls years. they're not as ph

tom's terms. >> i may be asking someone who is biased but in the pantheon of sports greats, i can really only think of someone like michael jordanin american sports at least that rivals just the rarified air that tom brady occupies. what can you take from his legacy not just as an athlete but also the example that he has set for people that aspire to be great at any craft? >> well, certainly he's the greatest nfl player of all time, the greatest quarterback of all time and he's done it in the 21st century, setting records that may never be broken, certainly are way up there. football is so popular now, you think of those games last weekend, the four divisional playoff games were tremendous, it's the ultimate television product, the most popular sport in america, it has the gambling, violence, fantasy, all of things that america loves. tom is king of that sport at a time when the sport is bigger than its ever before. you mentioned jordan, nba has never as big as the nfl is now but michael was a global figure. babe ruth was a pretty big deal in america back in the 1920s. you are really talking about an iconic figure and in our tow

we have been talking about kobe bryant and his mentality or michael jordan, this is how we talk about toms is exactly what tom brake —— brady was about, winning at all costs. this is a guy who actually had different instruments as far as exercise equipment, he hired a nutritionist, to make sure he was available and ready for the next season and so at 44 years of age, 22 year season, sorry, 22 years in the nfl, this is a guy who has accomplished it all and i don't see anyone eclipsing his effort anywhere in my lifetime. he eclipsing his effort anywhere in my lifetime.— in my lifetime. he has been billed as — in my lifetime. he has been billed as the _ in my lifetime. he has been billed as the greatest - billed as the greatest quarterback of all time, so what makes someone, or him, such a great quarterback in particular?— particular? his drive, his preparation, _ particular? his drive, his preparation, his - particular? his drive, his i preparation, his willingness particular? his drive, his - preparation, his willingness to win at all costs. this is a guy who was sorry brawl, highly intell

tom brady is the greatest american team sport athlete of all time. people won't want to hear about that, they will warrant to hear michael jordan i grew up a massive fanmething more impressive. people talk about bill russell, who was incredibly impressive. no one has done what tom brady has done. the greatest team sport athlete of all time. rachel: will, pete, you guys are dying to get my thoughts on this really important story. so i have thought about it because i know out judgegy you guys will be about it. i put some thought. couple things, i love that tom brady's brad still calls him tommy that was one thought i had. pete: note that. >> i thought that was so cute. the next thought i had, you know what? i can understand being married to someone with a big career, not as career as tom brady but as a congressman, these jobs are very consuming. i think it is lovely, very heart warming that he is thinking about taking time away from a sport i believe he could keep going until he is 50. that guy is fit. i talked to you guys what i know about his diet with gisele is very healthy. i think that guy could keep playing until he is 50. if he stops he wants to
