WWOne's Jim Gray Scores Tom Brady Interview

In his first national one-on-one interview since the “Deflategate” ruling and winning the Super Bowl, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tells Westwood One’s Jim Gray exclusively that this off-season has been “mentally draining.”

It was just one of the many candid moments Brady shared with Gray for an in-depth pregame interview which will air Thursday night during Westwood One’s kickoff of the NFL season, when the Patriots host the Steelers at Gillette Stadium.



Among the other topics Brady discussed with Gray—

• If he feels any bitterness toward the league and Commissioner Roger Goodell
• Why he never publicly lashed out
• How it feels to go from being universally liked and respected to being maligned
• His reaction to this week’s ESPN story about new “Spygate”/Patriot allegations
• What he would say to those who believe the Patriots’ championships were not won fairly
• How the footballs have been prepared for the season opener

Listeners can hear those answers and more during Westwood One’s NFL pregame show Thursday night, starting at 7:45 pm ET.  The game can be heard on radio stations nationwide, as well as on SiriusXM radio and through NFL Game Pass (NFL.com/gamepass), which is available on NFL.com and the NFL Mobile from Verizon app.
