Cameron Brate called it “the most impassioned speech I’ve ever heard.”
Mike Evans called it “movie-worthy.”
New Englanders call it “déjà vu.”
Tom Brady’s pre-game speech before Super Bowl LV, while not filmed, is being talked about like Daft Punk’s 2007 performance at Paris Bercy.
The Bucs released nearly a three-minute video lauding the GOAT for delivering a tirade that would help catapult the franchise to its first title in 18 years.
Cameron Brate: “The theme of the speech was honor. Not just honor for ourselves, honor that we will experience in this brotherhood for the rest of our lives.”
Gronk: “And it’s not just you that’s recognized as a champ, but it’s your whole entire family. It’s your kids, it’s your aunts, uncles.”
Forgive me for playing Hype Police here, but on behalf of all of New England, I am typing up a cease and desist email because we currently own the Honor Speech™ from Super Bowl XLIX aka The Malcolm Butler Game aka Top 3 Super Bowls of All-Time.
