Meet 'Operation Shoeless Joe Jackson' - The Name Of The Mission To Get Tom Brady To The Tampa Bay Buccaneers During Free Agency

On today's Pardon My Take... BRUCE ARIANS! The Super Bowl winning Head Coach joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter in-studio for today's show to talk about coaching, quarterback development, Big Ben getting mad at him, Peyton's rookie season and more. 

Of course, there is no debate about which season during Arians' coaching tenure was his most successful - 2020. That's when he and Tom Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title on their home field. But what would have happened if the Bucs didn't secure TB12 in Free Agency earlier that year? Well it turns out that Arians and his team had an entire plan in place to bring the GOAT to Tampa - OPERATION SHOELESS JOE JACKSON. Take a look...

I absolutely love this. If you are attempting to pursue one of, if not the most impactful free agents in the history of the National Football League, it's only fitting that it has an undercover name and one that is as cool as this.

We all know how this story ended - Operation Shoeless Joe Jackson was a MASSIVE success. Tip of the cap (the one that Bruce Arians wears) to him and his team for completing this mission and bringing another Lombardi Trophy to Tampa Bay.
