He Continued, "But my answer every time was, I have all the respect in the world for Tom Brady. Who doesn't, right? He's the greatest, I get it, I understand why they went after him. But I'm not going to roll over and die.

"I’m willing to do what these guys aren’t willing to do. Until they kick me out, I’m gonna sit there and do it. Maybe he [Brady] does come and take my job one day; I can live with that; I get it. I understand the rules that we all sign up for."
