As usual, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their 2022 campaign on a high note. Tom Brady crushed the Cowboys 19-3 on Sunday. It was a great game; however, the quarterback was unsatisfied with his performance. Brady mentioned that his emotions were controlling him, and he felt more anxious ahead of the game.

The Buccaneers quarterback has now become a regular guest in the ‘Let’s go’ podcast with Jim Gray. Speaking about his week 1 game on Monday, the passer explained that despite playing the sport for more than 23 seasons and having enough experience, he still feels anxious before the first games of the season.

“I had anxiety and nerves before the first game of the season, and you just feel like, ‘Why are there nerves?’ And why is there anxiety?’ Do you know why? Because you care.” Brady said in the podcast.

He also mentioned that emotions were controlling him more than in the past, but he wants to move step by step, sidelining his personal things. “I’m feeling things more than in the past, for some reason. I’m just really feeling intensely my emotions, and I’ve always had that, but I think when you get close to the end.” The QB added, “And I don’t know exactly where I’m at with that; there’s no decision to be made, but it’s not like I have 10 years left — I definitely don’t have that. All these things, I’m never going to take for granted.” he added before saying that his body has started showing its age.

Great successes seek great sacrifices, and the Seven-time Super Bowl Champion had enough in his career. Being at the helm for more than two decades asks for countless compromises, and for Brady, it was family and relationships.

While speaking in the podcast, Tampa Tom mentioned that he never had a proper Christmas or Thanksgiving celebration in the past 23 years. Nor could he attend the birthdays of people whom he cares about. No funerals, no weddings, and it was all, for one thing, football. In fact, this was the primary issue pointed out when rumors circulated about cracks in his marriage life with Gisele Bündchen.

As of now, the current season might prove to be his last campaign in the NFL. Even though he has several commitments in his personal life, Brady wants to keep everything aside for one last time and hang up the cleats on a high note.
