Willie McGinest on Patriots SECRETS, Brady & Belichick's Genius, Super Bowl XL Preview

Patriots legend and 3x Super Bowl champion Willie McGinest joins Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson for an unforgettable conversation spanning NFL dynasties, West Coast culture, and untold locker room stories.

Willie reveals the REAL reason Bill Belichick chose Tom Brady over $100 million man Drew Bledsoe—including Belichick's "cold speech" to the team that shocked everyone. He breaks down what made the Patriots different, and shares wild stories about Mike Vrabel being an "asshole" teammate who researched opponents' personal lives to trash talk.

Beyond football, Willie takes us inside Death Row Records when his former high school classmate Snoop Dogg signed, describes being in Dr. Dre's studio sessions hearing unreleased music, shares his firsthand experience of the LA Riots and the unity that followed, and gets emotional recalling his relationship with the late Junior Seau.
