Tom Brady hung up his cleats and is on to his next venture as a broadcaster, but he may still harbor some bad feelings toward teams that beat him in big moments in his career. The future Hall of Famer took shots at a player on the team that beat him twice in the Super Bowl, the New York Giants.
While discussing his approach to broadcasting, Brady was explaining how there are certain ways to be critical that aren’t just yelling that someone is “horrible.” The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is mindful of what he says and even admitted that he may not know what goes wrong when he sees a bad play, so he doesn’t want to be too harsh on one guy.

Jones has a career record of 22-36-1 with 62 touchdowns and 40 interceptions. Last season in six games, he threw six picks and went 1-5 as a starter.

When discussing how he will handle things like Jones’ interceptions and other bad plays, he said, he “can’t just say” something was terrible on television.
