00:00:14,223 --> 00:00:18,060
[crowd cheering]
3
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,312
We ain't scared of your ass.
We ain't scared of your ass.
4
00:00:21,146 --> 00:00:22,898
Watch what happens. I'm gonna get you.
5
00:00:22,898 --> 00:00:25,275
- You ain't doing anything.
- Watch it. Watch it.
6
00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:27,402
[players arguing]
7
00:00:27,402 --> 00:00:30,781
[announcer] And we're set to go.
The AFC Championship game.
8
00:00:30,781 --> 00:00:34,826
The road to the Super Bowl
goes through Heinz Field right now.
9
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:37,663
[reporter] For all that the Patriots
have been through this season,
10
00:00:37,663 --> 00:00:40,040
to be playing for the chance
to go to the Super Bowl,
11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,876
it has to come down to one of two things,
12
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:45,712
either the Patriots
are a very good football team
13
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:47,840
or they're living on borrowed time.
14
00:00:49,258 --> 00:00:53,262
[announcer] The Patriots do provide
a formidable challenge here today
15
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:56,974
and anyone who watched Tom Brady's
performance in the snow last weekend
16
00:00:56,974 --> 00:00:59,476
knows the young New England
quarterback can deliver.
17
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:03,397
[Brady grunts loudly]
18
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:06,316
[announcer] Oh, boy.
19
00:01:07,818 --> 00:01:08,819
He's down.
20
00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:12,781
The Patriot quarterback is down,
and he's injured.
21
00:01:14,449 --> 00:01:15,576
[whistle blowing]
22
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:18,495
He took it right below the knees.
23
00:01:18,495 --> 00:01:19,872
Oh, boy.
24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,420
[Tom Brady] It was actually the third time
that game that the same ankle got hit.
25
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:29,590
It was pretty sore, but...
26
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:32,134
{\an8}I was, like,
"Oh, no, no. I wanna play."
27
00:01:33,177 --> 00:01:34,845
But at that point, the coach decided,
28
00:01:34,845 --> 00:01:37,181
"You know what?
I think we're just gonna stick with Drew."
29
00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:40,559
[announcer] And Drew Bledsoe
has come onto the field.
30
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:46,481
Drew Bledsoe, who left the team
in week two with a chest injury.
31
00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:48,984
And replaced then by Brady.
32
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:54,781
[Drew Bledsoe] When I took the field,
all of a sudden things got really quiet.
33
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:57,826
[crowd noise echoing, fading]
34
00:01:57,826 --> 00:01:59,953
Obviously, the entire world was thinking,
35
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:03,540
"Okay, this guy hasn't played
for a long, long time."
36
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:08,961
You know? "That's it. Game's over."
37
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,968
[crowd cheering]
38
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:17,596
[announcer] What a throw by Drew Bledsoe.
39
00:02:19,223 --> 00:02:23,519
{\an8}[Bledsoe] But I was gonna compete
my ass off in every way that I could...
40
00:02:24,937 --> 00:02:27,856
because the Super Bowl was so close.
41
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:30,442
- [loud grunt]
- [crowd groaning]
42
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:35,030
[Bledsoe] To get that close
and then not get to go...
43
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:37,616
I was never gonna let that happen.
44
00:02:38,575 --> 00:02:40,994
[announcer] Back to throw.
Looks, fires, open!
45
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:42,621
Touchdown!
46
00:02:42,621 --> 00:02:45,290
- Touchdown by Drew Bledsoe!
- [crowd cheering]
47
00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:50,462
The New England Patriots have come
into Pittsburgh and done the unthinkable.
48
00:02:50,462 --> 00:02:55,092
They defeat the Steelers
by a score of 24 to 17.
49
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:56,468
[announcer 2] Oh, my!
50
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,762
[Bledsoe] I can't believe it, dude.
51
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:00,430
[announcer 2] What a story this is.
52
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:03,934
Drew Bledsoe comes in
for the injured Tom Brady.
53
00:03:03,934 --> 00:03:05,561
Gets big plays here.
54
00:03:05,561 --> 00:03:06,979
[reporter] Is this too emotional
for you, Drew?
55
00:03:06,979 --> 00:03:08,981
[Bledsoe] Very hard year. And, uh...
56
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:10,524
I'm proud that we're going
to the Super Bowl.
57
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,860
We shocked the world!
We shocked the world!
58
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:16,238
For all these people out here
who didn't give us a chance,
59
00:03:16,238 --> 00:03:17,906
we're going to Bourbon Street.
60
00:03:17,906 --> 00:03:19,199
Yeah, we're goin' to Bourbon Street.
61
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,285
- We're going to the Bowl!
- New Orleans, baby!
62
00:03:27,124 --> 00:03:29,960
[crowd cheering]
63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,296
[field announcer] And the New England
Patriots are celebrating.
64
00:03:32,296 --> 00:03:35,883
They're heading to the Super Bowl
in New Orleans.
65
00:03:35,883 --> 00:03:37,676
And I'm joined here by Robert Kraft,
66
00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:39,595
the chairman and owner
of the New England Patriots.
67
00:03:39,595 --> 00:03:44,099
I'd like to give great credit
to Coach Belichick and his staff,
68
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:48,270
and all our players who put team first.
69
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:49,479
[excited chatter]
70
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,982
[Robert Kraft] You know, you get
presented the trophy,
71
00:03:51,982 --> 00:03:56,069
{\an8}and all of a sudden, I realize,
"Holy mackerel!
72
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:59,239
I'm gonna be going to the Super Bowl."
73
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,991
[Kraft on field]
To the great fans of New England,
74
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:04,369
who support us in the snow,
the rain, the sun,
75
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:06,163
we say thank you.
76
00:04:06,163 --> 00:04:09,708
We think it's great going
to the biggest game in this country.
77
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:15,255
[Kraft] I understood how the fans felt
'cause I was one of them.
78
00:04:16,298 --> 00:04:19,551
I'd dreamt of going to the Super Bowl...
79
00:04:20,552 --> 00:04:24,640
...way before we owned the team.
80
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:36,568
In 1971, when they built
the new stadium in Foxborough,
81
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:39,863
I decided I was gonna get season tickets.
82
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:44,618
I was always passionate about football.
83
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:48,163
The physicality, the teamwork...
84
00:04:49,373 --> 00:04:51,959
So, I wanted to share that with my boys.
85
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,086
[Jonathan Kraft] I remember my dad,
86
00:04:54,086 --> 00:04:58,090
he had one of those briefcases
with little locks on each side.
87
00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:01,552
{\an8}As a little kid you always thought
the greatest secrets in the world
88
00:05:01,552 --> 00:05:04,513
{\an8}were in that briefcase.
And he opened it,
89
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:06,598
and in there, there were these strips
90
00:05:06,598 --> 00:05:10,394
with the old Pat Patriot logo,
and my dad said,
91
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:13,730
"You see those?
Those are season tickets to the Patriots."
92
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:18,026
The team bound our family together,
93
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:21,738
but it was a difficult time to be a fan.
94
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:22,990
[announcer] Wide open, ends up.
95
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:26,910
[announcer 2] So, what's going wrong?
Just about everything so far.
96
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:30,372
[Kraft] Seeing the dumb things being done,
97
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:33,584
I said, "Jeez, if I could own this team,
what I would do."
98
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:39,381
And was that a pipe dream?
A lot of people probably thought it was.
99
00:05:39,381 --> 00:05:40,799
Would you tell him that Robert called?
100
00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:43,343
[Kraft] I mean,
I was a self-made businessman
101
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:45,220
who ran a paper company.
102
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:49,558
I didn't have wads of cash
sitting in a bank account.
103
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:54,605
I knew I'd have to find a way
to get financial power,
104
00:05:54,605 --> 00:05:59,651
and I realized the key
was the old Foxboro stadium.
105
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:05,908
The stadium was really outmoded.
106
00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:08,744
You know, a lot of people
thought it was worthless.
107
00:06:08,744 --> 00:06:10,162
[horns blaring]
108
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:15,542
But I figured out the main
source of revenue during the game
109
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:19,796
came from the parking lot and the stadium.
110
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:23,467
Over the next decade,
111
00:06:24,426 --> 00:06:26,929
{\an8}I made moves to buy the stadium,
112
00:06:26,929 --> 00:06:29,765
{\an8}and the land that the stadium sat on
113
00:06:29,765 --> 00:06:32,017
at what was really a low cost.
114
00:06:32,684 --> 00:06:35,646
No one realized how important that was.
115
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:36,772
[indistinct chatter]
116
00:06:36,772 --> 00:06:41,485
[Kraft] There must have been 20 buyers
who came in who tried to buy the team,
117
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:47,950
but once they figured out I had control
of the revenue, they walked away.
118
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:53,080
{\an8}- [reporters chattering]
- [cameras clicking]
119
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,373
{\an8}[man] ...done a marvelous job.
120
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,959
{\an8}[news anchor] At a news conference
this afternoon, James Orthwein announced
121
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:01,004
he is selling the team
to a local buyer, Robert Kraft.
122
00:07:01,004 --> 00:07:03,090
[applause]
123
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:08,262
My objective in doing this is to help
bring the championship to New England.
124
00:07:08,262 --> 00:07:11,557
We didn't do this to be a doormat
for any of the teams.
125
00:07:11,557 --> 00:07:12,766
We do like to win.
126
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:15,978
{\an8}We plan to work very closely
with Coach Parcells
127
00:07:15,978 --> 00:07:18,230
{\an8}to have a very special team.
128
00:07:19,565 --> 00:07:23,402
{\an8}[Parcells] I was rooting for Kraft
because the way it was,
129
00:07:23,402 --> 00:07:25,362
it was a little bit in disarray.
130
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:26,905
[faint chatter]
131
00:07:26,905 --> 00:07:32,286
Prior owners, they weren't willing
to ante up for the good players.
132
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,664
- So when Kraft came in...
- [blows whistle]
133
00:07:35,664 --> 00:07:38,625
...I was hopeful he'd be more supportive.
134
00:07:39,334 --> 00:07:42,588
[news reporter] Some are so convinced
that the new Patriots owner Robert Kraft
135
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,174
is committed to winning
that they were willing to wait out
136
00:07:45,174 --> 00:07:48,468
the night and early hours
for those choice seats.
137
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,263
Finally, we have a coach that's committed,
an owner that's committed,
138
00:07:51,263 --> 00:07:53,640
and they're gonna spend the money
and get us a winner.
139
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:58,061
[Bledsoe] To have a coach that won
two Super Bowls for a different team,
140
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:02,357
and to have the owner intimately
involved in the running of the team,
141
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:04,818
and not just, you know,
some billionaire that owns a toy,
142
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:09,615
there was a sense of excitement that,
"Okay, maybe things could change here."
143
00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:12,075
[announcer] Bledsoe stands in.
144
00:08:12,075 --> 00:08:14,077
Boom. Touchdown.
145
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:17,956
[announcer 2] Well, there's the equivalent
of the victory cigar
146
00:08:17,956 --> 00:08:20,501
as Bob Kraft dons the coat.
147
00:08:20,501 --> 00:08:23,921
[Parcells] Kraft's first year there,
the team was improving
148
00:08:23,921 --> 00:08:27,382
and it was just on the verge
of doing something special.
149
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:32,304
{\an8}[announcer] Introducing the American
Football Conference champions,
150
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:33,597
{\an8}the New England Patriots!
151
00:08:33,597 --> 00:08:35,432
[crowd cheering]
152
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:38,977
[Jonathan Kraft] In '97,
the team was going to the Super Bowl.
153
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:41,855
We were really excited about the future.
154
00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:45,526
But at the same time,
155
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:49,655
it was clear that something was up
with Bill Parcells.
156
00:08:49,655 --> 00:08:52,366
[fans chanting] Tuna! Tuna! Tuna!
157
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:55,202
[Parcells] We finally got some success,
158
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:59,957
but I felt like Kraft
wasn't always in line
159
00:08:59,957 --> 00:09:05,712
with the things that I knew to be
in the best interest of building a team.
160
00:09:07,089 --> 00:09:10,259
Kraft had no real background in football,
161
00:09:10,259 --> 00:09:14,179
and in his inexperience,
took the draft away from me
162
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:16,056
and he gave it to somebody else.
163
00:09:16,557 --> 00:09:22,020
I felt like some people
that were incompetent
164
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:25,399
were making decisions
for the organization personnel-wise.
165
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:26,900
And I didn't like it.
166
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,778
And I knew I wasn't going
back to the Patriots.
167
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:32,781
[newscaster] The Pats meet the media
in about a half hour
168
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:36,243
{\an8}and everyone is waiting
to hear what Parcells has to say,
169
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:39,329
{\an8}as the stories intensify that Sunday
will be his last game
170
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:41,331
{\an8}as the head coach
of the New England Patriots.
171
00:09:41,707 --> 00:09:44,543
[reporter] The reports continue today
that Bill Parcells is out.
172
00:09:45,169 --> 00:09:46,879
Would you comment on that?
173
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:49,548
[Bledsoe] That was a frustrating thing
for us as players.
174
00:09:49,548 --> 00:09:52,050
For us to go to the Super Bowl
after being the worst team in the league,
175
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:53,760
you know, that was
a pretty big accomplishment.
176
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,054
And that was not the story
during the week of the Super Bowl.
177
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:58,390
The story was whether or not Parcells
was gonna go to the Jets.
178
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:01,518
Well, if he has an unbelievable
Super Bowl magic or not,
179
00:10:01,518 --> 00:10:03,187
he's headed for New York, right?
180
00:10:03,187 --> 00:10:05,147
[sports journalist, over phone]
I can't imagine that there is a scenario
181
00:10:05,147 --> 00:10:07,983
that he will not be
with the Jets next year.
182
00:10:07,983 --> 00:10:12,404
This is a bad marriage
between Bob Kraft and Bill Parcells.
183
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:15,032
Even if they're both hugging
the Vince Lombardi trophy
184
00:10:15,032 --> 00:10:18,368
by 10:00 Sunday night,
they will not be hugging each other
185
00:10:18,368 --> 00:10:20,162
by about 9:00 Monday morning.
186
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:23,582
[stadium announcer] Let's meet
the American Football Conference champion,
187
00:10:23,582 --> 00:10:25,209
New England Patriots.
188
00:10:26,835 --> 00:10:31,173
When your team's in the Super Bowl,
you want all the energy focused
189
00:10:31,173 --> 00:10:35,886
on doing everything possible
to allow the team to win.
190
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:38,222
That didn't happen at that Super Bowl.
191
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:44,436
All the oxygen was taken out of the room
with Bill's dalliance with the Jets.
192
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:47,773
[announcer]
Favre back to throw his first one.
193
00:10:47,773 --> 00:10:50,192
Throwing deep. Has a man open.
194
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:53,111
Touchdown, Green Bay.
195
00:10:53,779 --> 00:10:57,991
The final score,
the Green Bay Packers, 35,
196
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,327
the New England Patriots, 21.
197
00:11:02,246 --> 00:11:07,417
[Kraft] With Coach Parcells,
I didn't feel he always put team first.
198
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:13,006
He was making decisions
that were best for Bill Parcells
199
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:15,384
as opposed for the New England Patriots.
200
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:20,556
I promised myself in the future
201
00:11:20,556 --> 00:11:24,685
I would find a coach
that truly put team first.
202
00:11:25,435 --> 00:11:29,398
[helicopter whirring]
203
00:11:29,398 --> 00:11:32,651
[sports live announcer] Live from
New Orleans, site of Super Bowl 36.
204
00:11:32,651 --> 00:11:34,278
[reporter] You remember five years ago,
205
00:11:34,278 --> 00:11:38,448
Patriots owner Bob Kraft's first trip
to the Super Bowl was memorable,
206
00:11:38,448 --> 00:11:39,867
but it was not pleasant.
207
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:44,705
[Kraft] I feel very fortunate our family
is back in the Super Bowl.
208
00:11:44,705 --> 00:11:48,166
We're focusing on that and hopefully
doing everything we can
209
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,419
to get everyone on the same page
210
00:11:50,419 --> 00:11:53,297
so we can bring a championship home
to the fans in New England.
211
00:11:54,381 --> 00:11:58,886
I have learned in life you can never
have enough quality people around you,
212
00:11:58,886 --> 00:12:02,681
and Bill Belichick's always
done what's best for the team.
213
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:03,891
[commentator] The New England Patriots,
214
00:12:03,891 --> 00:12:07,394
expected to be mediocre at best,
yet here they are.
215
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:10,689
[commentator 2] St. Louis Rams will square
off against the New England Patriots
216
00:12:10,689 --> 00:12:13,567
for football's top-prize,
the Vince Lombardi trophy.
217
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:15,068
[cameras clicking]
218
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:16,945
[press member] Bill, all year
the team has been very focused
219
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:18,989
and very able to be business-like.
220
00:12:18,989 --> 00:12:22,367
During this week, have you noticed
any kind of heightened awareness?
221
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,661
[Bill Belichick] There's definitely
a heightened awareness
222
00:12:24,661 --> 00:12:28,207
{\an8}or a little bit more focus than normal.
223
00:12:28,207 --> 00:12:29,958
{\an8}And I think that's been
pretty good all year.
224
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:31,251
{\an8}But there's no question.
225
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:33,754
{\an8}This is a special week and a special game
226
00:12:33,754 --> 00:12:36,006
and everybody realizes what's at stake.
227
00:12:36,006 --> 00:12:38,467
[whistle blowing]
228
00:12:38,467 --> 00:12:39,927
[Damien Woody] That Super Bowl week,
229
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:44,598
I remember coming in,
and Bill addressed the team...
230
00:12:44,598 --> 00:12:46,850
[Belichick] Let's get it in.
Let's get it in.
231
00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:49,770
[Woody] He said, "You know what?
We're all in this thing together.
232
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:55,275
If you're able to put aside
your personal gain for the team...
233
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,403
and do your job...
234
00:12:59,613 --> 00:13:02,074
{\an8}...we'll win. We will beat them."
235
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,996
Last night, the Patriots moved to a hotel
here on the outskirts of New Orleans
236
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:10,707
to get away from the crush
of the French Quarter
237
00:13:10,707 --> 00:13:13,794
to get things as back to normal
as they possibly can.
238
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:18,841
[David Nugent] Nice out. Swimming pool.
239
00:13:18,841 --> 00:13:21,468
[Belichick] We got down there,
at the hotel.
240
00:13:21,468 --> 00:13:25,931
My main thing with the players was, okay,
you know, we got a lot of work to do.
241
00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:29,268
{\an8}Just want to make sure everything's okay.
If there's any problems,
242
00:13:29,268 --> 00:13:30,519
{\an8}you know, let me know.
243
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:35,524
Lawyer, uh, came over and was, um...
upset about his room.
244
00:13:35,941 --> 00:13:37,067
[laughs]
245
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:38,360
{\an8}Oh, shit.
246
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,530
{\an8}Ohh!
247
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:44,449
[Lawyer Milloy] Yeah, man, we, you know,
we get to the hotel,
248
00:13:44,449 --> 00:13:47,911
my room was so small,
I think it came with a oxygen tank.
249
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:51,832
[Nugent] Look at this room.
Are you kidding me?
250
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:53,917
[Ernie Adams] You know,
the players would like nice rooms.
251
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:55,752
Not the little dinky singles.
252
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:58,338
{\an8}You don't want sleeping
in a little twin bed
253
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:01,758
{\an8}where your arms are falling off the sides
and your feet are off the end.
254
00:14:02,926 --> 00:14:05,888
[Belichick] That was the furthest thing
from my mind, and I just kind of said,
255
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:08,765
"You know, Lawyer, look,
you can have the head coach's room.
256
00:14:08,765 --> 00:14:10,809
I don't really care.
And if that's not good enough for you,
257
00:14:10,809 --> 00:14:13,729
that's the best I can do. Here you go."
258
00:14:14,438 --> 00:14:15,898
[Nugent] A walk-in closet?
259
00:14:16,231 --> 00:14:17,608
- My goodness.
- [Nugent laughs]
260
00:14:17,608 --> 00:14:19,151
- Yeah.
- Are you tripping?
261
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:21,737
[Belichick] And so the rest of the week,
you know,
262
00:14:21,737 --> 00:14:25,115
it was kinda, "Lawyer, is everything okay?
You know, is your view okay?
263
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:27,492
Your room good?
You got enough space in there?"
264
00:14:27,492 --> 00:14:30,078
You know, and so we kinda
joked about that all week.
265
00:14:30,746 --> 00:14:33,081
- [whistle blows]
- [laughter]
266
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:38,795
[Milloy] I think Coach did that to kinda
reemphasize team is always first.
267
00:14:39,171 --> 00:14:43,008
And it kind of just set the tone
to get ready for what was coming.
268
00:14:44,343 --> 00:14:47,638
[commentator] Seemingly a David
versus Goliath script in this Super Bowl.
269
00:14:47,638 --> 00:14:50,599
The New England Patriots,
14-point underdogs,
270
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:53,936
feeling they can slay
the mighty dragon-- eh, Rams.
271
00:14:57,231 --> 00:15:00,275
[Belichick] As I watched the Rams
prior to Super Bowl 36,
272
00:15:00,275 --> 00:15:03,820
the Rams led the league in offense
and had an all-star cast of players.
273
00:15:04,363 --> 00:15:07,699
[commentator] Forget Ringling Brothers,
the Rams are the greatest show on earth.
274
00:15:07,699 --> 00:15:09,117
[Belichick] They had a complete team,
275
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:11,912
speed and explosiveness
on all sides of the ball.
276
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,247
[announcer] And a touchdown!
277
00:15:13,247 --> 00:15:15,123
[commentator 2]
The Rams are a dynasty in waiting.
278
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:17,125
They come here as the best offense
in the land,
279
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:19,169
the third best defense in football.
280
00:15:19,169 --> 00:15:22,339
They won eight games in a row,
the overwhelming favorites.
281
00:15:22,339 --> 00:15:24,508
[announcer] Warner straight back to pass,
unload, right sideline,
282
00:15:24,508 --> 00:15:26,260
Marshall's there, touchdown--
283
00:15:26,260 --> 00:15:28,762
[host] You can't find anybody to even say
284
00:15:28,762 --> 00:15:30,305
- New England can win the game.
- [host 2] No.
285
00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:32,891
Every guy you talk to just says
"How many will the Rams win by?"
286
00:15:32,891 --> 00:15:36,228
- [host 2] But here's what I find amazing.
- This is dead, dull, boring, done.
287
00:15:36,228 --> 00:15:39,940
[announcer 2] At the 20, ten, five.
Touchdown, Marshall Faulk.
288
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:42,109
[host] And with the competitive state
of the game in question,
289
00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:44,903
our lead story for the fourth straight day
is Brady and Bledsoe.
290
00:15:44,903 --> 00:15:47,573
- [host 2] Oh, enough!
- Michael, I know you hate this story.
291
00:15:47,573 --> 00:15:49,616
But the truth is
there are no other stories.
292
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:51,869
This game has no juice whatsoever
and you know
293
00:15:51,869 --> 00:15:55,038
you've got nothing other to write
than Brady and Bledsoe.
294
00:15:55,956 --> 00:15:57,541
[The Edge] There's been
a lot of nonsense written
295
00:15:57,541 --> 00:16:01,378
{\an8}about the whole Brady versus Bledsoe issue
over the last few days.
296
00:16:02,254 --> 00:16:05,883
{\an8}And we are not here
to add to that controversy today.
297
00:16:06,592 --> 00:16:10,262
{\an8}However, it does
have to be said that Bledsoe
298
00:16:10,262 --> 00:16:13,182
{\an8}- has a superior long pass, and...
- [laughter]
299
00:16:13,182 --> 00:16:16,685
{\an8}I think that, um, Brady's sore ankle
is a bit of a problem.
300
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:18,687
{\an8}I've had one myself.
301
00:16:18,687 --> 00:16:21,398
Anyway, we are not here
to get into that.
302
00:16:21,398 --> 00:16:24,359
- We are here to bring peace.
- We're here to bring peace.
303
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:26,528
[whistle blowing]
304
00:16:26,528 --> 00:16:28,071
[newscaster] After today's practice,
305
00:16:28,071 --> 00:16:30,782
Bill Belichick is expected
to make his decision
306
00:16:30,782 --> 00:16:34,203
{\an8}on the one hard question left
in the Big Easy:
307
00:16:34,203 --> 00:16:36,705
{\an8}Who'll be his starting quarterback
on Sunday?
308
00:16:37,247 --> 00:16:40,751
The one who's started every one
of the Patriots' 12 wins
309
00:16:40,751 --> 00:16:44,213
or the one who shook off 17 weeks of rust
310
00:16:44,213 --> 00:16:47,549
to save the team's season
last weekend in Pittsburgh?
311
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:52,971
[Bledsoe] At the end of practice,
I got called up to Belichick's hotel room.
312
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:57,392
He just sat down and he goes,
"Tommy's ankle looks good.
313
00:16:57,392 --> 00:16:59,978
We've decided that you know, we can
only get one quarterback ready to go,
314
00:16:59,978 --> 00:17:05,442
{\an8}and we're gonna go with Tom,
um, this week." And, uh...
315
00:17:05,442 --> 00:17:08,529
Oh, man. That was--
that was a bitter pill.
316
00:17:08,529 --> 00:17:10,489
That was a bitter, bitter pill to swallow.
317
00:17:11,406 --> 00:17:14,117
[fans chattering excitedly]
318
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:19,414
[Brady] You know, I think
from Drew's standpoint, he wanted to play.
319
00:17:19,414 --> 00:17:22,792
And it's a tough situation
for a veteran like that to be in.
320
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:24,795
[interviewer] What's your reaction
to this decision, Drew?
321
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:27,589
Uh, you know,
I'm obviously very disappointed.
322
00:17:27,589 --> 00:17:31,051
But I look back, I'm very happy of
all the decisions Coach Belichick made.
323
00:17:31,051 --> 00:17:33,470
As he was in control, and, uh...
324
00:17:34,555 --> 00:17:36,598
And I'm happy he made that choice.
325
00:17:37,516 --> 00:17:40,102
As the case has been all year,
you know, I'll, uh...
326
00:17:41,353 --> 00:17:44,314
...you know, do whatever I can
to help him to play well in this game.
327
00:17:44,314 --> 00:17:45,816
And, uh...
328
00:17:45,816 --> 00:17:49,152
[Tedy Bruschi] I mean, Drew could have
messed a lot of things up.
329
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:54,658
{\an8}But as frustrated as Drew was,
he still was very supportive to Tom.
330
00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:58,453
That meant a lot for me to see.
331
00:17:58,453 --> 00:18:03,542
All the stuff Belichick says, like
doing your job and putting the team first,
332
00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:06,461
Drew was, like, living that.
333
00:18:07,629 --> 00:18:10,007
I mean there's
a hundred-million-dollar quarterback
334
00:18:10,007 --> 00:18:11,800
doing what's best for the team.
335
00:18:12,843 --> 00:18:15,304
That's where I think
the Patriot Way started.
336
00:18:16,847 --> 00:18:22,436
[stadium crowd cheering]
337
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:24,396
[stadium announcer]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
338
00:18:24,396 --> 00:18:27,816
and welcome to Super Bowl 36.
339
00:18:30,569 --> 00:18:36,742
Let's meet the National Football
Conference Champion, the St. Louis Rams.
340
00:18:38,243 --> 00:18:40,787
[Bruschi] When you're growing up
as a young football player,
341
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:45,000
your moment that you dream of is
when you get introduced in the Super Bowl.
342
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,045
[stadium announcer]
At running back from San Diego State,
343
00:18:48,045 --> 00:18:51,381
number 28, Marshall Faulk.
344
00:18:52,341 --> 00:18:54,968
They say your name, they say your number,
they say your position,
345
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,095
and you run out for the world to see.
346
00:18:57,513 --> 00:19:00,307
[stadium announcer]
Number 88, Torry Holt.
347
00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:04,561
Right here, right now.
Right here, right now. Today!
348
00:19:04,561 --> 00:19:06,313
- That's it. Today.
- Today!
349
00:19:06,313 --> 00:19:09,441
[Bruschi] It's almost like
a culminating moment for a player.
350
00:19:10,234 --> 00:19:13,612
[announcer] And the New England Patriots
just filing into the tunnel
351
00:19:13,612 --> 00:19:15,322
to be recognized and introduced.
352
00:19:15,322 --> 00:19:16,406
Let's go right here.
353
00:19:16,406 --> 00:19:18,283
How we doing it? How we doing it?
354
00:19:18,283 --> 00:19:20,494
[Bruschi] So we're like,
"What are we're gonna do?"
355
00:19:20,494 --> 00:19:23,830
Then I heard someone scream in the back,
"We're going out as a team!"
356
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:25,415
It's all of us together.
357
00:19:25,415 --> 00:19:28,710
That's how we got here.
We got here because we're a team.
358
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,838
We about to shake up the world.
359
00:19:30,838 --> 00:19:32,297
[stadium announcer]
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
360
00:19:32,297 --> 00:19:35,425
choosing to be introduced as a team,
361
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:39,638
here are the American
Football Conference champions,
362
00:19:39,638 --> 00:19:41,682
the New England Patriots.
363
00:19:41,682 --> 00:19:44,184
[crowd roaring]
364
00:19:47,062 --> 00:19:49,481
[Jon Bon Jovi]
Watching this, I was thinking,
365
00:19:49,481 --> 00:19:54,486
"Holy shit! Here they come. My team."
366
00:19:54,486 --> 00:19:57,573
{\an8}"Please welcome..."
I'm getting chills right now.
367
00:19:57,573 --> 00:19:59,116
{\an8}"...the New England Patriots."
368
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,913
Yeah!
369
00:20:04,913 --> 00:20:08,250
[Bon Jovi] That was the red,
white and blue. That was America.
370
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:12,129
Tribalism... put to the side.
371
00:20:12,129 --> 00:20:14,047
We were one.
372
00:20:16,466 --> 00:20:18,802
[Willie McGinest]
We figured that we were America's team.
373
00:20:18,802 --> 00:20:20,596
Our colors, everything.
374
00:20:20,596 --> 00:20:25,642
We felt an obligation because of 9/11
and what our nation had went through.
375
00:20:25,642 --> 00:20:29,605
{\an8}Our theme was we're all one.
We're all in this together. We're all one.
376
00:20:30,147 --> 00:20:31,523
[chanting, grunting rhythmically]
377
00:20:31,523 --> 00:20:33,150
Here we go, now!
378
00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:36,236
[continues, indistinct]
379
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:45,829
{\an8}[Mike Martz] I don't know
what it meant to America.
380
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:47,873
{\an8}I do know that when
I stood on the sideline
381
00:20:47,873 --> 00:20:49,750
and looked up there and saw
red, white and blue
382
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:53,128
{\an8}and Patriots fans all over the place,
I thought,
383
00:20:53,128 --> 00:20:55,214
"Oh, for cryin' out loud."
384
00:20:56,423 --> 00:20:59,218
America loves an underdog. And I get it.
385
00:21:00,052 --> 00:21:04,389
But that being said,
it pissed me off more than anything else.
386
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:07,017
And we'll shove it up their rear end
no matter what.
387
00:21:07,434 --> 00:21:09,353
[starting whistle blows]
388
00:21:09,353 --> 00:21:13,649
[announcer] Adam Vinatieri to kick it off
from here in New Orleans.
389
00:21:13,649 --> 00:21:17,569
And he approaches the ball
and Super Bowl 36 is underway.
390
00:21:17,569 --> 00:21:19,613
[crowd cheering]
391
00:21:19,613 --> 00:21:22,574
And Murphy breaks right out of the pack.
392
00:21:22,574 --> 00:21:24,701
And let's watch him go to work.
393
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:28,580
[announcer 2] They talk about this is
the greatest show on turf,
394
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:32,793
not only the best offense in football now,
but maybe the best offense ever.
395
00:21:32,793 --> 00:21:35,295
- Do it, Rams! Come on!
- Kick it off!
396
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:37,381
[Ty Law] They were a more
skilled football team,
397
00:21:37,381 --> 00:21:40,342
{\an8}but we didn't think
they were a very tough team.
398
00:21:41,093 --> 00:21:44,388
I was like, "You know what? I'm tired
of hearing about the track team.
399
00:21:44,388 --> 00:21:47,266
I'm tired of hearing about how fast,
how athletic they are.
400
00:21:47,266 --> 00:21:51,436
This is football.
We about to rock y'all's ass."
401
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,523
[wheezing scream]
402
00:21:58,068 --> 00:22:00,654
There you go. Fucking pound 'em!
403
00:22:01,947 --> 00:22:05,701
[Richard Seymour] We knew
that we had to play a different style.
404
00:22:05,701 --> 00:22:08,579
{\an8}We gotta be physical,
we gotta be tough, we gotta be nasty.
405
00:22:08,579 --> 00:22:11,248
{\an8}The guys you didn't want to see
in a dark alley.
406
00:22:12,082 --> 00:22:13,250
[heavy grunts]
407
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:14,877
[announcer 2] They've been getting
to Kurt Warner today.
408
00:22:14,877 --> 00:22:16,336
They've been knocking him around.
409
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:19,298
Bill Belichick told me,
"The only way we can win this game
410
00:22:19,298 --> 00:22:21,049
is we have to be more physical on 'em,
411
00:22:21,049 --> 00:22:24,636
and we have to find other ways to score
other than our offense."
412
00:22:24,636 --> 00:22:26,972
[announcer] And Warner goes back to throw
and here's the blitz.
413
00:22:29,558 --> 00:22:30,767
The pass is intercepted!
414
00:22:30,767 --> 00:22:34,855
Picked off by Ty Law!
30, 25, 20, 15!
415
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:36,523
Touchdown!
416
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:39,568
Ty Law picks it off
and takes it to the house.
417
00:22:39,568 --> 00:22:41,612
{\an8}And the Patriots take the lead.
418
00:22:43,572 --> 00:22:45,073
[Law] I ain't gonna lie.
419
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:48,744
That was probably one of the easiest
interceptions that I've had in my life.
420
00:22:49,745 --> 00:22:53,248
Those are the kind of interceptions
that we typically drop,
421
00:22:53,248 --> 00:22:57,503
'cause it's like,
"You bullshittin'? He ain't-- Tsk!"
422
00:22:57,503 --> 00:23:00,547
"I know-- What you talking about, Kurt?
I know you ain't about to throw that."
423
00:23:01,507 --> 00:23:04,426
[Martz] Something happened that game,
and Bill was really good about this.
424
00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:08,305
According to his players, he said,
"Listen, latch on to these receivers,
425
00:23:08,305 --> 00:23:10,265
on the jersey, and hang on.
426
00:23:10,265 --> 00:23:13,894
They're not gonna call holding
or pass interference in the Super Bowl.
427
00:23:13,894 --> 00:23:16,313
They're not gonna do it.
And when they do...
428
00:23:17,272 --> 00:23:18,815
all right, stop doing it.
429
00:23:18,815 --> 00:23:20,817
And then go back
and do it a little bit later." You know.
430
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:22,194
So that's what they did.
431
00:23:28,909 --> 00:23:31,787
I never, ever said anything about it.
432
00:23:31,787 --> 00:23:33,747
And you know why? They do it--
433
00:23:33,747 --> 00:23:35,374
[mocking tears, chuckles]
434
00:23:35,374 --> 00:23:37,626
Yeah, crying and all that kind of stuff.
435
00:23:37,626 --> 00:23:39,253
But it's a fact.
436
00:23:39,253 --> 00:23:41,630
And if you can get away with it,
get away with it.
437
00:23:41,630 --> 00:23:42,631
And he did.
438
00:23:43,131 --> 00:23:46,009
[announcer] Brady drops back to throw,
looks, fires right.
439
00:23:46,009 --> 00:23:48,470
Touchdown, David Patten!
440
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:49,638
[all cheering]
441
00:23:49,638 --> 00:23:52,432
Eight yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady.
442
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:56,854
[announcer 2] Who would have thought
that if someone's gonna explode on offense
443
00:23:56,854 --> 00:23:59,189
that it's gonna be
the New England Patriots?
444
00:24:01,483 --> 00:24:05,362
[Jonathan Kraft] Half time of that
Super Bowl, we're up 14 to three.
445
00:24:06,697 --> 00:24:10,701
{\an8}And as the team's running off the field,
my dad looks at me and he says...
446
00:24:10,701 --> 00:24:12,244
{\an8}Fourteen to three?
447
00:24:13,453 --> 00:24:15,581
{\an8}What am I gonna say if we win?
448
00:24:18,417 --> 00:24:21,879
Jonathan started
scratching down some things.
449
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,548
I felt a little guilty.
450
00:24:25,924 --> 00:24:27,551
Or superstitious.
451
00:24:28,385 --> 00:24:31,513
You open your mouth to the devil
and bad things happen.
452
00:24:31,513 --> 00:24:35,642
[announcer] And it's been pretty tough
to come back in a Super Bowl.
453
00:24:35,642 --> 00:24:37,311
[announcer 2] I think if there's
anyone who can do it,
454
00:24:37,311 --> 00:24:40,230
it would be an explosive team
like the Rams.
455
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:42,399
Go, Rams, go Rams!
456
00:24:43,025 --> 00:24:46,862
[Martz] Sure, in the first half Belichick
threw some curve balls in there.
457
00:24:46,862 --> 00:24:48,947
But I don't care.
458
00:24:48,947 --> 00:24:50,490
We're gonna line up
and beat you with what we got.
459
00:24:50,490 --> 00:24:52,034
Bring it on, buddy. Let's go.
460
00:24:52,492 --> 00:24:54,369
[announcer] Warner drops
straight back to throw.
461
00:24:54,369 --> 00:24:56,288
Fires down the field.
It is caught by Faulk.
462
00:24:56,288 --> 00:24:59,458
Inside the ten to the eight-yard line.
And he's stopped there.
463
00:24:59,458 --> 00:25:01,668
So the Rams are on the march.
464
00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:04,046
Now we put you on your heels.
That's what we try to do,
465
00:25:04,046 --> 00:25:05,422
put 'em on their heels.
466
00:25:07,090 --> 00:25:08,425
[announcer] Second and goal
at the Pats' two.
467
00:25:08,425 --> 00:25:11,512
Quarterback sneak. Touchdown, Kurt Warner.
468
00:25:11,512 --> 00:25:13,180
Walked into the end zone, untouched.
469
00:25:13,180 --> 00:25:14,848
Boy, that was easy, huh?
470
00:25:14,848 --> 00:25:17,601
And the Patriots' lead
is now down to a touchdown.
471
00:25:17,601 --> 00:25:20,938
[Adams] We pitched a shutout basically
for 50 minutes.
472
00:25:20,938 --> 00:25:23,315
{\an8}And then the last ten minutes
all hell broke loose.
473
00:25:24,483 --> 00:25:27,486
[announcer] The Rams' offense
has come to life in the fourth quarter.
474
00:25:28,153 --> 00:25:29,363
[Bruschi] Hit his ass!
475
00:25:30,572 --> 00:25:32,157
We're not giving them shit.
So let's go.
476
00:25:32,157 --> 00:25:33,242
[player] We gotta make 'em beat us.
477
00:25:33,242 --> 00:25:34,826
- We're not giving them anything.
- [player] No penalty.
478
00:25:34,826 --> 00:25:38,372
I need rushers. I need rushers.
Let's go!
479
00:25:39,122 --> 00:25:41,124
[announcer] Back to pass is Warner.
Looks, fires left.
480
00:25:41,124 --> 00:25:43,877
It is wide open at the ten.
481
00:25:43,877 --> 00:25:48,966
Inside the five, and it's out and in.
Touchdown, Saint Louis.
482
00:25:48,966 --> 00:25:50,968
And the Rams have come back.
483
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:54,471
A heartbreaking fourth quarter
for the Patriots.
484
00:25:54,471 --> 00:25:59,184
{\an8}So it's tied at 17 to 17
with a minute 30 to play.
485
00:26:00,561 --> 00:26:02,354
{\an8}[announcer 2] You have to
just run the clock out.
486
00:26:02,354 --> 00:26:03,564
You have to play for overtime now.
487
00:26:03,564 --> 00:26:06,066
I don't think you want
to force anything here.
488
00:26:06,066 --> 00:26:07,818
You don't want to do anything stupid.
489
00:26:09,152 --> 00:26:13,156
[Adams] We could have knelt on it and gone
into sudden death overtime.
490
00:26:13,156 --> 00:26:17,578
But then Bill came on the headset, said,
"Okay, Ernie, what do you want to do?"
491
00:26:18,579 --> 00:26:22,040
And I said,
"Bill, we're a little bit out of gas.
492
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,336
If they get the ball again,
I'm not real sure we can stop 'em."
493
00:26:27,504 --> 00:26:30,549
I mean, this drive, it's do or die.
494
00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:32,885
We need to try to go get Adam Vinatieri
495
00:26:32,885 --> 00:26:35,554
a shot to win it
for us here in regulation.
496
00:26:37,806 --> 00:26:40,684
[Brady] I go up to Coach Belichick
and he says, "We're going."
497
00:26:41,602 --> 00:26:45,063
And he says, "Just take care of the ball!"
498
00:26:46,106 --> 00:26:47,524
And Drew was kind of standing next to me
499
00:26:47,524 --> 00:26:51,195
and he kind of just shuffled in front
of that he says, "Fuck that."
500
00:26:52,112 --> 00:26:53,906
[Bledsoe] I remember,
you know, somebody saying to Tom,
501
00:26:53,906 --> 00:26:55,199
like, "Hey, be careful."
502
00:26:55,199 --> 00:26:57,451
Like, "No, we're big underdogs
in this game.
503
00:26:57,451 --> 00:27:00,078
Nobody expected you to be here.
Nobody expected us to be here."
504
00:27:00,579 --> 00:27:02,247
You know, fuck it, man, go.
505
00:27:02,247 --> 00:27:03,874
[announcer] Brady's in the shotgun.
506
00:27:03,874 --> 00:27:06,835
[announcer 2] I don't agree with
what the Patriots are doing right here.
507
00:27:06,835 --> 00:27:10,797
Backed up inside their own 20,
no time-outs left.
508
00:27:10,797 --> 00:27:12,925
I would play for overtime.
509
00:27:12,925 --> 00:27:15,219
And everyone was like,
"Oh, shit," you know,
510
00:27:15,219 --> 00:27:16,178
"we're gonna throw it?"
511
00:27:17,054 --> 00:27:19,473
My confidence was up and down that year.
512
00:27:19,473 --> 00:27:22,476
And I really didn't know
what I was capable of.
513
00:27:22,476 --> 00:27:26,939
But to know that I had the confidence
and trust of my teammates.
514
00:27:26,939 --> 00:27:29,983
For me, it was like,
let's go out there and sling it.
515
00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:33,320
[announcer] Brady takes the snap.
Here's the rush.
516
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,447
Now he gets away, throws over the middle.
517
00:27:35,447 --> 00:27:37,783
It is caught there after the 21-yard line.
518
00:27:38,534 --> 00:27:40,702
{\an8}Clock running to 1:09 to play.
519
00:27:40,702 --> 00:27:42,371
{\an8}They gotta hurry.
520
00:27:42,371 --> 00:27:44,039
Brady takes the direct snap.
521
00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:45,832
Dumps it off to the left,
complete to J.R. Redmond.
522
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:49,336
Thirty, 35, to the 40, and a first down.
523
00:27:49,336 --> 00:27:53,131
{\an8}The clock winding down on one of the great
Super Bowl games ever played.
524
00:27:53,131 --> 00:27:55,592
{\an8}Brady takes the direct snap.
525
00:27:55,592 --> 00:27:57,469
Steps up, fires down the field, caught!
526
00:27:57,469 --> 00:27:58,679
Troy Brown at the 40.
527
00:27:58,679 --> 00:28:01,640
He's to the left of the 37-yard line.
And goes out of bounds.
528
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,434
[announcer 2] And now I kinda like
what the Patriots are doing.
529
00:28:05,394 --> 00:28:08,772
[Kraft] So there we are,
driving right down the field.
530
00:28:09,606 --> 00:28:10,816
It's almost surreal.
531
00:28:11,149 --> 00:28:14,027
[announcer] There's Brady.
He dumps it to Wiggins.
532
00:28:14,027 --> 00:28:17,489
Down to the thirty and now,
no question about it, they are in range.
533
00:28:17,489 --> 00:28:20,409
Maybe he can spike it right here
and stop the clock.
534
00:28:20,409 --> 00:28:22,244
[announcer 2] That's what he'll do.
He'll spike it here.
535
00:28:22,911 --> 00:28:24,663
[announcer] Seven seconds.
536
00:28:25,330 --> 00:28:28,000
They got Vinatieri in range.
537
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,711
[Kraft] I think back to sitting
in the stands
538
00:28:30,711 --> 00:28:33,255
and dreaming of winning a Super Bowl.
539
00:28:34,339 --> 00:28:36,592
It meant so much to all of us.
540
00:28:36,592 --> 00:28:38,177
Let's go!
541
00:28:38,177 --> 00:28:41,513
[Kraft] And finally, we were so close.
542
00:28:41,513 --> 00:28:44,474
[announcer] All right,
with seven seconds remaining,
543
00:28:44,474 --> 00:28:48,937
Adam Vinatieri will try to win it
with a 47-yard field goal attempt.
544
00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:51,899
[Kraft] We waited 42 years.
545
00:28:53,108 --> 00:28:55,986
It all came down to this.
546
00:29:00,115 --> 00:29:02,868
[announcer] Kick is on the way.
And it is...
547
00:29:10,501 --> 00:29:14,004
- ...good! It's good! It's good!
- [wild cheering]
548
00:29:14,004 --> 00:29:19,176
Adam Vinatieri boots a 48-yard
field goal and the game is over!
549
00:29:19,176 --> 00:29:22,763
And the Patriots are Super Bowl champions!
550
00:29:22,763 --> 00:29:26,725
The Patriots are Super Bowl champions!
551
00:29:26,725 --> 00:29:29,937
The best team
in the National Football League.
552
00:29:29,937 --> 00:29:33,190
Adam Vinatieri, 48 yards.
553
00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:34,858
Oh, baby!
554
00:29:34,858 --> 00:29:37,110
- Oh!
- [all cheering, shouting]
555
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:38,403
What a finish!
556
00:29:38,403 --> 00:29:40,906
What a finish to the Bowl!
557
00:29:41,698 --> 00:29:43,992
Oh, my gosh.
558
00:29:44,993 --> 00:29:47,746
I should talk to you and nobody else.
Everybody doubted us.
559
00:29:47,746 --> 00:29:50,749
Hey, blowout. Blowout, huh?
560
00:29:54,002 --> 00:29:59,466
The fans of New England
have been waiting 42 years for this day.
561
00:29:59,466 --> 00:30:02,886
[crowd roars]
562
00:30:04,054 --> 00:30:07,224
[Kraft on field] Spirituality,
faith and democracy
563
00:30:07,224 --> 00:30:09,685
are the cornerstones of our country.
564
00:30:12,396 --> 00:30:14,314
We are all Patriots.
565
00:30:14,314 --> 00:30:17,860
And tonight,
the Patriots are world champions.
566
00:30:21,071 --> 00:30:23,323
...moment you throw in the deep pass
on the touchdown
567
00:30:23,323 --> 00:30:26,410
- and the field goal feel just as good?
- [yelling]
568
00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:28,120
[Bledsoe] Way to go, baby.
Way to go, 12.
569
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,289
- Oh, baby. Oh, you're the man.
- You are the man.
570
00:30:30,289 --> 00:30:32,958
Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe together.
571
00:30:32,958 --> 00:30:35,002
How 'bout it, Tom Brady. How does it feel?
572
00:30:35,002 --> 00:30:36,879
- Feels incredible.
- [man] Gotta get him back to the stage.
573
00:30:36,879 --> 00:30:39,339
How 'bout that one? [yells]
574
00:30:39,339 --> 00:30:42,467
How 'bout that, baby!
How 'bout that one!
575
00:30:46,138 --> 00:30:49,308
[cheers fading]
576
00:30:49,308 --> 00:30:51,393
[Brady] That was a lifelong dream of mine.
577
00:30:53,061 --> 00:30:55,689
It was... it was...
578
00:30:55,689 --> 00:30:57,399
It was pretty fucking amazing.
579
00:30:58,609 --> 00:31:00,402
[excited chatter, cheering]
580
00:31:00,402 --> 00:31:03,405
[Brady] But I was pretty worn out
after that.
581
00:31:03,405 --> 00:31:05,532
Oh, it's gone! It's gone!
582
00:31:05,532 --> 00:31:07,784
[Brady] I didn't party
with the rest of the team.
583
00:31:07,784 --> 00:31:10,329
[all chanting]
P-A-T-S! Pats! Pats! Pats!
584
00:31:11,205 --> 00:31:15,000
[Brady] The next day, I remember getting
in the car and Coach Belichick--
585
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,336
He got in and he was still fucked up
from the night before.
586
00:31:17,336 --> 00:31:18,587
I could smell the alcohol.
587
00:31:20,088 --> 00:31:24,092
But I remember him saying to me...
"Well... Tom...
588
00:31:24,092 --> 00:31:25,844
You had a pretty good year."
589
00:31:25,844 --> 00:31:27,888
You know. And, uh...
590
00:31:28,805 --> 00:31:30,474
That was his way of complimenting me.
591
00:31:31,308 --> 00:31:33,644
[news anchor] Pats returned home
in triumph today,
592
00:31:33,644 --> 00:31:37,189
carrying some extra baggage
from New Orleans, the Super Bowl trophy.
593
00:31:37,189 --> 00:31:39,316
Hundreds of long-suffering fans
594
00:31:39,316 --> 00:31:42,319
eager to celebrate the end
of decades of frustration...
595
00:31:43,654 --> 00:31:45,822
[Jackie MacMullan] I swear to God,
the next day I woke up, I'm like...
596
00:31:46,990 --> 00:31:49,743
{\an8}"Did that-- Did this just really happen?
597
00:31:49,743 --> 00:31:52,246
{\an8}Did the Patriots win the Super Bowl?"
598
00:31:52,913 --> 00:31:55,832
It was just unfathomable for Boston fans.
599
00:31:55,832 --> 00:31:59,586
[reporter] A million plus New Englanders
braved temperatures
600
00:31:59,586 --> 00:32:04,132
with a wind chill factor in the teens
to give a special congratulations
601
00:32:04,132 --> 00:32:05,801
to the world champion team.
602
00:32:07,094 --> 00:32:09,555
[Bruschi] There was a woman
that came up to me and said,
603
00:32:09,555 --> 00:32:11,056
"I just want to thank you.
604
00:32:11,056 --> 00:32:15,269
My grandfather told me to tell you
he can now die a happy man."
605
00:32:16,353 --> 00:32:18,480
[emotional sigh, chuckle]
606
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,733
And it hit me. I was like, "Whoa."
607
00:32:21,733 --> 00:32:25,362
- Patriots!
- Number one, Number one!
608
00:32:25,362 --> 00:32:27,364
Thank you!
609
00:32:29,992 --> 00:32:32,911
[Michael Holley] Tom Brady... When you're
the Super Bowl-winning quarterback,
610
00:32:32,911 --> 00:32:35,747
{\an8}there's gonna be so much attention on you,
there are gonna be opportunities.
611
00:32:37,165 --> 00:32:41,003
After the Super Bowl,
he got a four-year contract extension,
612
00:32:41,003 --> 00:32:43,380
maybe six or seven million dollars a year.
613
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:45,549
[woman] We love you, Tom!
614
00:32:45,549 --> 00:32:48,635
[Nugent] I think that all of a sudden
it hit him like a ton of bricks, like,
615
00:32:48,635 --> 00:32:50,429
"This is my new reality."
616
00:32:51,805 --> 00:32:55,142
I remember one day, we're in the car,
and he just said,
617
00:32:55,142 --> 00:32:58,103
{\an8}"Nugent, I'm a millionaire."
618
00:32:58,103 --> 00:33:00,105
{\an8}And I said, "Tom, yeah, you are."
619
00:33:00,105 --> 00:33:03,317
{\an8}He goes, "No, no, no. I'm a millionaire."
620
00:33:03,317 --> 00:33:05,986
And at that exact moment,
I will never forget,
621
00:33:05,986 --> 00:33:09,198
the song "Black Betty" started playing
on the radio and he cranked it up
622
00:33:09,198 --> 00:33:13,493
and we just started playing air guitar
and rocking out to his newfound wealth.
623
00:33:13,493 --> 00:33:15,787
["Black Betty" by Ram Jam playing]
624
00:33:15,787 --> 00:33:17,706
[stadium crowd cheering]
625
00:33:22,044 --> 00:33:23,504
[David Letterman] Please welcome,
from your world champion,
626
00:33:23,504 --> 00:33:26,131
New England Patriots' Tom Brady.
627
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,009
Welcome back, congratulations.
628
00:33:29,009 --> 00:33:31,803
[MacMullan] Tom Brady
became the most sought-after--
629
00:33:31,803 --> 00:33:35,474
forget football player--
personality, celebrity.
630
00:33:36,725 --> 00:33:38,393
He's on a convertible at Disney World.
631
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:40,812
He's on the cover of every magazine.
632
00:33:40,812 --> 00:33:43,065
And I'm not just talking
about Sports Illustrated.
633
00:33:43,690 --> 00:33:46,485
His popularity just absolutely exploded.
634
00:33:46,485 --> 00:33:47,778
Thank you very much.
635
00:33:47,778 --> 00:33:51,698
I got a call from the White House
saying they'd like to have Tommy
636
00:33:51,698 --> 00:33:56,203
sit in the President's box
at the State of the Union address.
637
00:33:56,203 --> 00:33:58,580
[David Spade] And the ESPY goes to...
Tom Brady.
638
00:33:58,580 --> 00:34:02,417
[MacMullan]
The Patriots just became this elixir.
639
00:34:02,417 --> 00:34:04,753
Everybody wanted to drink
whatever the Patriots were drinking
640
00:34:04,753 --> 00:34:06,839
because everything they did
turned to gold.
641
00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:09,257
- ["Black Betty" continues]
- [announcer] Super Bowl 38.
642
00:34:09,257 --> 00:34:12,427
The Carolina Panthers
and the New England Patriots.
643
00:34:13,262 --> 00:34:16,806
The Patriots looking for a second
Super Bowl title in three years.
644
00:34:16,806 --> 00:34:19,059
From 41 yards.
645
00:34:19,476 --> 00:34:20,476
Looks good!
646
00:34:21,603 --> 00:34:24,982
The New England Patriots
are the Super Bowl champions.
647
00:34:25,940 --> 00:34:29,735
[MacMullan] By that point, Bill Belichick
is a genius, the greatest football mind.
648
00:34:30,821 --> 00:34:34,074
Tom Brady is being compared
to Joe Montana, his childhood hero.
649
00:34:34,574 --> 00:34:35,826
{\an8}[Brady] You didn't doubt us, did ya?
650
00:34:35,826 --> 00:34:39,204
{\an8}[MacMullan] And Robert Kraft has become
one of the most powerful owners in sports.
651
00:34:40,038 --> 00:34:43,083
Those three guys,
they were on top of the NFL world.
652
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:47,004
Two years ago, I promised you
653
00:34:47,004 --> 00:34:52,050
we wouldn't be satisfied until we brought
another championship trophy
654
00:34:52,050 --> 00:34:53,886
to the people of New England.
655
00:34:53,886 --> 00:34:55,721
And here it is!
656
00:34:55,721 --> 00:34:59,224
[crowd cheering]
657
00:35:00,893 --> 00:35:03,520
["Black Betty" ends]
658
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,901
[Bruschi] We won two Super Bowls
in three years.
659
00:35:09,484 --> 00:35:12,779
And I remember
one of my teammates, he's like,
660
00:35:12,779 --> 00:35:18,410
"Bru, come here, man. So check this out,
we've won two out of three.
661
00:35:19,036 --> 00:35:22,164
We win three out of four, it's a dynasty."
662
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,876
And that's the first time
I heard it spoke.
663
00:35:27,252 --> 00:35:30,547
And it made me aware
of what it would mean.
664
00:35:31,965 --> 00:35:33,967
And that's where the addiction kicks in.
665
00:35:36,261 --> 00:35:40,140
That's when you realize, it's like,
"This can't stop now."
666
00:35:42,059 --> 00:35:44,186
[announcer] Welcome to Super Bowl 39.
667
00:35:44,186 --> 00:35:45,562
We've got the New England Patriots
668
00:35:45,562 --> 00:35:48,273
trying to win for the third time
in the last four years.
669
00:35:48,899 --> 00:35:52,194
[announcer 2] If they win today,
they become a dynasty.
670
00:35:52,194 --> 00:35:53,695
[players chanting]
671
00:35:53,695 --> 00:35:56,657
[Scott Pioli] It's difficult to explain
to people sometimes,
672
00:35:56,657 --> 00:35:58,909
but this game is like a narcotic.
673
00:36:00,369 --> 00:36:03,789
When you have success,
every time you get a little bit,
674
00:36:03,789 --> 00:36:05,332
you want a little bit more.
675
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:09,795
The highest highs that you feel
each time that you win,
676
00:36:09,795 --> 00:36:12,047
{\an8}you're chasing that forever.
677
00:36:12,548 --> 00:36:17,803
[announcer] Brady... fires and it is caught. Touchdown.
678
00:36:17,803 --> 00:36:19,847
[Pioli] There was this group of us...
679
00:36:20,514 --> 00:36:23,851
[chuckles]
...that became addicts together.
680
00:36:24,226 --> 00:36:27,437
Look, let's spend a little more time
focusing on our job
681
00:36:27,437 --> 00:36:30,023
and less time jawing
and pushing them, okay?
682
00:36:30,023 --> 00:36:33,110
Just do our job and get on
to the next play.
683
00:36:33,735 --> 00:36:35,863
[Pioli] And we were actually
enabling one another.
684
00:36:35,863 --> 00:36:39,366
Let's stay alive!
They might fuck it all up. All right?
685
00:36:39,366 --> 00:36:43,328
[Pioli chuckling] And some of us know it,
some of us don't, some don't care.
686
00:36:43,912 --> 00:36:45,539
[announcer] Donovan McNabb...
687
00:36:47,249 --> 00:36:50,836
Down the middle of the field and the pass
is picked off by Harrison.
688
00:36:52,671 --> 00:36:57,301
{\an8}And the New England Patriots will be
the first dynasty of the 21st century.
689
00:36:59,094 --> 00:37:05,100
[Pioli] As time goes by, your relationship
with the drug, it changes.
690
00:37:06,935 --> 00:37:09,938
{\an8}After winning, instead of euphoria,
691
00:37:10,647 --> 00:37:13,025
it's just a relief.
692
00:37:14,568 --> 00:37:17,946
And when you lost, it was... it was...
693
00:37:18,780 --> 00:37:19,781
...dark.
694
00:37:20,699 --> 00:37:24,077
[announcer] Denver tired of hearing
about New England.
695
00:37:24,786 --> 00:37:27,331
Coming after Brady,
gets it away, he's picked.
696
00:37:27,331 --> 00:37:29,249
He's picked in the end zone.
697
00:37:29,249 --> 00:37:31,710
It's Bailey. Bailey, taking off,
698
00:37:31,710 --> 00:37:35,172
and he gets away from the one man
who had a shot at him.
699
00:37:35,172 --> 00:37:37,841
Talk about a game changer!
700
00:37:37,841 --> 00:37:41,428
And it looks like this remarkable run
for the Patriots
701
00:37:41,428 --> 00:37:43,096
is about to come to an end.
702
00:37:44,681 --> 00:37:49,645
[Pioli] You would do anything
and everything to stop the fear of losing.
703
00:37:51,396 --> 00:37:52,606
Anything.
704
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:57,277
[reporter] NFL officials
are investigating whether or not
705
00:37:57,277 --> 00:38:01,198
Patriots illegally filming
Jets defensive coaches
706
00:38:01,198 --> 00:38:03,158
during Sunday's game at the Meadowlands.
707
00:38:03,534 --> 00:38:05,452
[commentator]
Well, this is the team of the decade.
708
00:38:05,452 --> 00:38:06,537
Three championships.
709
00:38:06,537 --> 00:38:10,332
I do not want to think of Belichick
and the Patriots as cheaters.
710
00:38:10,332 --> 00:38:12,543
[commentator 2] I don't know
the answer to the following question.
711
00:38:12,543 --> 00:38:15,629
Does this tarnish everything
they've accomplished or not?
712
00:38:15,629 --> 00:38:17,130
[static crackling]
