Bills’ Jordan Poyer wants Tom Brady to retire, be with his kids
Jordan Poyer has some advice for Tom Brady: retire and spend time with your kids.
During the latest installment of “The Jordan Poyer Podcast” with Volume Sports, the Bills safety said it was hard to watch the Buccaneers quarterback struggle in Monday’s season-ending wild-card loss to the Cowboys — and urged Brady to call it a career.
“Tom, you know I love you, and I feel like I’ve been riding for you all year,” Poyer said. “Early on, you can go back to my podcast, I said ‘you can’t count Tom out.’ … And sure as s–t he made the playoffs. You did everything you could’ve did in this league. I understand you love this game. Go be with your kids, man.
“I didn’t like watching that game. It was hard to watch. You’re down 27-0 at halftime (it was 18-0). He was defeated. You could see he was defeated. I still think he obviously knows everything about everything, the insides and out of football. But it does take 11 to play the game. Go be with your kids, Tom. I appreciate everything you’ve done in this league. I got two picks off of you, one to the crib. Lost both games. I’m 0-11 against you. Yes, please go. Go be with your kids, Tom.”
Brady and his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen have two children together, daughter Vivian, 10, and 13-year-old son Benjamin. The quarterback also has a 15-year-old son Jack with ex, actress Bridget Moynahan.
In October, Brady and Bundchen announced they had finalized their divorce after 13 years of marriage — which came after Page Six was first to report in September that they were navigating martial issues.
All eyes are on Brady now. The 45-year-old is a free agent for the second time in his career. The quarterback — who’s been linked to Dolphins, Raiders, Titans and 49ers — could return to Tampa for a 24th NFL season, take his talents to another team, or retire for good.
Following Monday’s game, Brady held a somber press conference, in which he thanked the media for their support amid a challenging year and praised the Buccaneers organization — but did not hint at his future plans.
“I just want to say thank you guys for everything this year,” Brady told reporters. “I really appreciate all your effort. And I know it’s hard for you guys, too. It’s hard for us players to make it through, and you guys got a tough job. And I appreciate all that you guys do to cover us and everyone who watches and is a big fan of the sport.
“We’re very grateful for everyone’s support. You know, I love this organization. It’s a great place to be. Thank you everybody for welcoming me, all you regulars. And just very grateful for the respect, and I hope I gave the same thing back to you guys. So thank you very much.”
After leading the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl win over the Chiefs in 2021, Brady retired briefly last February — only to announce his return to the NFL 40 days later.
It was one of Brady’s most challenging seasons on and off the field as he dealt with his divorce and an injury-riddled Buccaneers team, whose offense fell flat. Despite winning the NFC South for the second consecutive season, their 8-9 record marked Brady’s first losing campaign in his career.
As Tampa Bay awaits Brady’s next move — on Wednesday, his former Patriots teammate Julian Edelman said if he does return for another season, “it’s not gonna be in Tampa Bay” — it is already making moves to overhaul its offense. The team fired offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich on Thursday.
When Brady decides to retire, he’ll have a job waiting for him with Fox Sports as its lead analyst. The Post’s Andrew Marchand reported last May that Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports.
The Bills will face the Bengals in the AFC Divisional Round playoff game on Sunday.
Bills’ Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde scold reporter for ’embarrassing’ question
There was a tense moment in the media room Monday night following the Buffalo Bills’ 14-10 loss to the New England Patriots. Bills safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde got upset at a local Buffalo TV reporter for asking a question they felt was disrespectful.
The situation requires a little context. It was windy and snowy at Highmark Field, which led the Patriots to abandon the passing game (quarterback Mac Jones threw just three passes all night) and focus entirely on the run game. The Bills defense had a tough time containing the Pats, even though it was clear early on that the Pats did not want to put the ball in the air at all.
It was not a good night for the Bills defense, something Poyer and Hyde were aware of as they answered questions after the game. Things turned ugly when local TV reporter Jerry Sullivan asked Poyer and Hyde if they were “embarrassed” to have lost to a team that only attempted three passing plays.
That question did not go over well. Poyer and Hyde were immediately offended by a question that seemed to be designed to get them to say something unflattering about their teammates and coaches.
“What are we doing bro?” Hyde asked.
“I mean, what kind of question is that?” Poyer said.
Sullivan defended his question by saying “the nation will be criticizing” them for how they played, and then Poyer and Hyde attempted to give an answer.
“We made stops when we had to. They had one big run. I mean, they’ve got good backs,” Poyer said. “They kept coming back to a couple runs. I mean, I don’t know how you want us to answer that question.”
“That’s funny,” Hyde said about Sullivan’s question. “We’ll remember that. I’ll remember that.”
Then they both got up and left. On the way out, Hyde said, “It’s respect. It’s all about respect. I come here every week and answer your questions truthfully, honestly. I appreciate you guys. Don’t do that. Don’t do that.”
Did Hyde and Poyer have a point?
On the surface, it looks like Hyde and Poyer were scolding a reporter for doing his job, but there are more layers to this.
At the center of this tiff is the relationship between players and the media, which is similar to the relationship between coworkers at most jobs. You’re not required to be friends with your coworkers, but respect and civility go a long way toward making things work. When there’s respect between a player and a member of the media, questions are asked to get real answers and not just a big response, and answers are given to explain instead of obfuscate or evade.
It’s part of a player’s job to speak to the media after games, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. It gets even harder after a game like Monday’s, because the losing team is expected to talk about their failures as individuals and as a group — failures that were already broadcast to an enormous TV audience. It’s not the media’s job to make that easier, but they aren’t required to make it harder, either. Tough questions can be asked, but they don’t have to be antagonistic. Reporters can be critical without being cruel.
In the same vein, Poyer and Hyde are required to answer media questions, but they choose how to respond. Questions asked with respect will usually get respectful, descriptive answers. They didn’t feel Sullivan asking them a “gotcha” question to see if they’d badmouth their teammates was respectful, so they gave him the kind of answer they felt he deserved.
It was a bad loss for the Bills on Monday night, and obviously no one was happy with how things went on the field. They’ll get another shot against the Pats in Week 16, and maybe then there won’t be a reason for anyone to ask if they’re embarrassed.
Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde bristle over question on Bills defensive performance
Buffalo Bills safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde were irked by a question in their post-game press availability following Monday night’s 14-10 loss to the New England Patriots.
The Patriots attempted just three total passes with two completions as windy conditions made throwing the ball a difficult task. The three passes thrown by the Patriots are the second-fewest in the Super Bowl era behind only the two passes attempted by the 1974 Bills in a game against the New York Jets.
That serves as the context for the question that led to the frustration. Via TSN Sports, local Buffalo reporter Jerry Sullivan asked the duo about whether they were embarrassed that they lost a game when their opponent completed just two pass attempts.
“Does that embarrass you?” they were asked.
Said Poyer: “What kind of question is that?”
Said Hyde: “What are we doing, bro?”
The Patriots rushed for 222 yards on 46 total carries on the night. They allowed a 64-yard touchdown to Damien Harris in the first quarter that accounted for a large portion of the yardage gained for the night. New England gained 158 yards on their other 45 rush attempts on the night.
“We made stops when we had to. They had one big run. I mean, they’ve got good backs,” Poyer said. “They kept coming back to a couple runs. I mean, I don’t know how you want us to answer that question.”
“That’s funny,” Hyde said. “We’ll remember that. I’ll remember that.”
The Patriots gained just 11 first downs to the 16 of the Bills. The only had two drives all game where they gained more than a single first down, both of which resulted in field goals. They only allowed one touchdown and 14 total points on the night.
Hyde and Poyer seemed to believe the query was an unfair assessment and indictment of their play against New England.
Hyde said it’s something he won’t forget.
“It’s respect. It’s all about respect,” Hyde said as he was leaving the room. “I come here every single week and I answer your questions truthfully, honestly. I appreciate you guys. Don’t do that. Don’t do that.”
