“Told Me How Sh*tty I Was Every Day”: Tom Brady Takes Sly Dig at "Cranky Old Coach” Bill Belichick During Georgetown Commencement Speech
Brady mixed advice for graduates with a dig at his former coach, recalling six Super Bowl titles together and a long-running rivalry.
On Saturday, Tom Brady delivered the commencement address at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, where he poked fun at his former coach, Bill Belichick, while challenging graduates to embrace discomfort.
During their 20 years together, Brady played under Belichick with the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowls and famously adopting the slogan 'Do your job' as their team mantra.
Recalling the Patriots' comeback, Brady noted the Atlanta Falcons had a 99.7% chance of winning Super Bowl 51, urging graduates to fight when facing their own '28 to 3 moment' of adversity.
Jokingly referencing a 'cranky old coach' who 'screams at you all day,' Brady drew laughs while the two now pursue separate paths—Brady as a Las Vegas Raiders minority owner and Belichick as UNC's head coach.
Reflecting on his journey as a sixth-round pick in the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady told graduates that success stems from hard choices and that quitting remains the only true way to lose.
