The clip of the podcast was also posted by Alvarez on his Instagram story. Moreover, the co-host of the podcast asked Brady if he ever wanted to hit someone. In response, he revealed two names: Julian Edelman and Matt Cassel. He revealed that the former is like his little brother and jokingly mentioned his name.
However, the latter is his longtime teammate but it appears that Cassel has irked Brady. He stated, “I think Julian. It just had to be Julian. He is like my little brother. So I could never. Julian couldn’t even get hit because he probably kicked my butt.” He added, “And Matt Cassel, he would be another one. Matt, I would definitely punch Matt and maybe Julian but definitely Matt.”
