Brady has a notorious drinking problem. He got fired from the head coaching job at Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville) for showing up to a baseball or basketball game half in the bag - after maybe two seasons. That's when he ended up doing radio.
He went to Fletcher HS (Neptune Beach/Jax beaches area) and was a notorious drunk and bully. I never had a problem with him back then, but didn't really know him very well. He spoke at the Jax Beaches Gator Club, where I was the president a couple of times and is very well connected (he was one of the players suspended for gambling in 1989, along w/ Shane Matthews). He and Shane are good friends. He's a fun drunk most of the time.
I remember a party in Neptune Beach on Oleander Street where he showed up with some other Fletcher football players (bully/athlete types) and started a brawl out in the street. The party was at my buddies house, his mom was out of town - we knew the cops would be headed over so we got everyone out of the house, locked the doors, let everyone hangout in the yard and bolted out the window and went to another friends house. We heard the cops showed up and were all "Who lives here?!? Where's the owners?"
