Tom Brady is usually a pretty laid back guy nowadays, cracking dad jokes and goofing on Aaron Rodgers. But when the comes to anything on the football field, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB is the ultimate competitor.

“What I say vs. what I think are two totally different things,” admitted the Buccaneers QB. “I would say 90 percent of what I say is probably not what I'm thinking, which is challenging. I really admire people that actually can do that and say what they think because they invite a lot of other things into their life. I think there's part of me that doesn't like conflict. So in the end, I just always try to play it super flat.”
“From a strategic standpoint I never want to give away what we're doing,” continued the Bucs star. “I usually say the opposite. If they got a (expletive) corner, I'll be like, ‘That guy's unbelievable! I don't even know how to complete balls over there!' And in my mind, I'm thinking, ‘I'm going at that mother-(expletive) all day.' Because I don't want to give them any(thing).”
Brady's admission is hardly surprising in of itself, but the fact that he vocalized it was interesting. Famous athletes definitely won't be spilling their guts to the media with cameras all around and ready to record every word. But it'll be interesting to watch the next time the Buccaneers QB has to speak to reporters after a bad game. Safe to say he might be thinking something “totally different”, too.
