When Tom Brady came to Tampa.

First, let’s get the most important element of this interview out of the way right now:

Lavonte David’s favorite cereal is Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries.

(Joe’s never had Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries. But for the record, regular ol’ Cap’n Crunch is elite cereal.)

So what does Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries and David have in common? David will always associate Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries with Tom Brady.

David did a sitdown with his former Nebraska teammate and former Titans linebacker Will Compton, who co-hosts “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast along with former Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan. There, David retold the story about how he learned the Bucs had signed Tom Brady.

David recalled how, during his exit interview after the 2019 season, he sat down with Bucco Bruce Arians just hours after America’s Quarterback Jameis Winston threw his final pass for the Bucs — a pick-six to lose to Atlanta in overtime.

There, Arians told David the Bucs were likely bringing in Brady to take over for Jameis. David thought Arians was full of it and pulling his leg. He forgot all about it.

Mind you, when Arians told David this, Brady was preparing to play Lewan and the Titans in the playoffs, a game in which Brady and the Belicheats lost. Tampering, anyone?

So fast forward roughly two months later and David sat on his couch, watching BSPN, scarfing down a bowl of Crunch Berries buried in milk when he saw the crawl on the bottom of the screen alerting the world that Brady was expected to head to Tampa Bay.

David had his phone right next to him and the phone, in David’s words, immediately began “blowing up.”

Two days later, that same phone rang and David picked it up, unaware who might be calling. It was Brady. Joe will let David tell the rest of the story in the video below.

Joe believes it was on Kay Adams’ show recently that David said when he and Brady finished their chat, David said to himself, “Oh, I’m going to save that number!”
