The NFL players often seem in an angry mood and are often watching the replay screens to look at the plays. For someone who played the sport for 23 years, Tom Brady has now got a realization. He understood why the NFL? players were always fuming and questioning the referee. He highlighted the issue on his recent episode of Let’s Go podcast. “There?s so much more context when you?re watching, [and] you have this TV, and they show every replay. On the field, you don?t see any of that. You?re seeing everything ground level,”
He also pointed out the difference between fans and players. How the crowd can get a reaction out of the players, especially when things are not going in their favor. He said about the same saying”I think when you?re a fan, you see obviously a lot, you hear a lot. The commentators are saying a lot. You have the score right there. You have the timeouts listed. Everything?s right there for you. It?s not necessarily like that when you?re a player. You?re just, you?re in the moment.”
