Martellus Bennet is a great human being

[@nortonyatzee7254]

Are you saying this because Martellus was involved? (was he?) Or that because his brother did something terrible (source?) that it diminishes him? Or something else? (Actual questions no agenda)

[@ajlauda]

cdccdccv not sure how that relates to martellus.

[@ryankeith4322]

He’s a liar and a bum. When Aaron got hurt he wanted to quit. Then the pats sign him and his shoulder magically feels better.

[@cumeater87]

That’s because he wanted to win another super bowl. He wasn’t doing that with the fudgepackers. He ended up getting surgery on that shoulder a few weeks after the season ended too.

[@bausbeasttherealmvp7744]

[@anthonyjacksonjr4812]

Wow. I didn't know M Bennett crashed on Gronk couch. It's cool to know some players will lookout for you when you starting out or get traded.

I just became a huge fan of Marcellus Bennett. Seems like such a sincere and grounded guy.

[@TheTmcabral3]

All time best video out of this SHoW!

[@unclecousin5782]

The example that blew my mind was the interception on Russell Wilson to beat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Everybody thought it was a great play by the cornerback Little did we know they had a coach literally go over that exact play, and the cornerback was coached to shed the blocker and make the play. Mind blowing stuff. Very few other programs have that level of commitment

[@SuperJohn12354]

When Martellus Bennet joked about returning to football it wasn't for the packers , it was for NE Brady Gronk and Belichick.

Outstanding. Martellus Bennett... well done sir, well done.

[@christfollower122491]

This was a good interview. Didn’t expect this

[@NicardoNeil]

I love the distinction Martellus makes between Brady and Rogers, and its a distinction few people understand when they are doing these standard, basic, silly GOAT debates. Of course Rogers is more physically talented than Brady. Of course he can make a bullet, pinpoint no look pass. Of course he can run, avoid contact and throw a frozen rope. But when it comes down to being quarterback, physical talent is only part of it. Greatness is about consistency, execution under pressure and leadership. This interview and the things he says about Brady is WHY he is the GOAT. Not just his accomplishments (which are significant)

[@dawer457]

Nicardo Neil being accomplished is actually not a bad thing man.. Players and teams play to win. So being a better winner is more valuable than being more talented. Brady does whatever is necessary to win. I respect that

[@NicardoNeil]

I am actually not in disagreement. I think Brady is the GOAT. I just think people like to use his accomplishments as somehow an excuse ("he's the most accomplished but not the greatest"). My argument here is that he didn't just walk onto the field and accomplish things. And its not just the Patriot's system (the other common silly argument). He has been more consistently great, has executed more under pressure and has been a better leader than any other QB in history.

[@waffles5433]

Nicardo Neil back in the day, “most accomplished” meant greatest. People just look for excuses because they don’t wanna admit Brady is the goat. Before Brady won his 4th Super Bowl, the main argument people used was “Montana has 4.”

[@beastmode218]

Why Brady is better than Rodgers? Simple answer.... Brady's unparalleled Leadership, Work ethic, and humble nature to the Team. Brady's leadership is undervalued and underrated. He legit learns about ALL the players on the team not just the offense and starters. He learns about the Scout team, defensive players even the newcomers that are UDFA. There have been countless stories about rookies and young guys coming in that this iconic legend actually talks to them and address them by first name basis. Wanting to actually know about them. Even would trash talk them on the practice field for good fun. Bill might be the cold presence but Brady isn't. Reason why the team gives 100% effort and make occasional plays when needed. Its Do Your Job mantra with a humble atmosphere.

[@BlackEgypt]

Nicardo Neil Tom Brady has had a TOP 10 DEFENSE EVERY time they've WON a SUPERBOWL just like EVERY team that has WON a superbowl last time I checked Aaron had a Top 10 defense he WON a superbowl and BOTH Brady and Rodgers are sitting on the sidelines when the defense is on the field.and Aaron doesn't have BILL BELICHICK.

[@Waliocoolioflo]

Bennett bros cool asf ✊🏿

[@samherrera8960]

Great job, Best Segment yet!!!

[@aaronrudd9790]

That was actually a refreshing interview to watch and completely changed how I look at him. Glad I watched it! Also, he was very insightful when he said that it was never about being a football player, but that football is just part of the journey of life that he’ll hit and then move on from. You’re 30 and have (hopefully) 50-70 years left afterwards, so don’t make your life about what you did when you were in your 20s or 30s. Great perspective! I needed to hear those words said that way.

[@jamesanthony5681]

Agreed.

[@orionsghost9511]

Kurt, they were trying to force the conversation back into the parameters they wanted, which is just to do branding. Thankfully, Martellus didn't bite hard and kept the message where he wanted it to go - something bigger and more personal than branding.

[@1Learn2Swim3]

It's what happens when people who are used to being the ones doing all the talking have to listen to someone else talk instead.

[@judahisrisingyahschosen9481]

Mentality and heart beats athleticism any day...which is why Brady sits alone at the top

[@blueflameSM]

Pure talent - Throwing, moving, reading the defenses/adjustments (Brady does this well too). What you want from a typical QB, all the qualities are in Aaron Rodgers. I am upset that things didn't work out in GB for Bennett, but that's history. Most accomplished - Stats, rings, etc. This is Brady no doubt (Of course he's great at reading defenses as well and adjustments)

[@artmessiah83]

Jimmy Her Nobody reads defenses like Tom Brady. That's the biggest difference between the 2. Rodgers has a high IQ but he's best at creating on the fly. Brady's prep work is half the battle. Knowing what defense he's facing and they're tendencies. Spot the weakest. Tom usually has you beat before he snaps the ball.

[@beastmode218]

Brady's leadership is undervalued and underrated. He legit learns about ALL the players on the team not just the offense and starters. He learns about the Scout team, defensive players even the newcomers that are UDFA.
