Tom Brady and Antonio Brown played key roles in leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in Super Bowl LV. Despite this, the former wide receiver never misses an opportunity to twist the knife, as he did following Brady's lackluster debut as a TV analyst.
Brady'sfirst appearance as a pundit for Fox Sports during the Dallas Cowboys-Cleveland Browns game sparked an avalanche of criticism from fans, the media, and former players alike.
At best, the six-time NFL champion was described as looking nervous and out of place in the broadcast booth. Some fans criticized his lack of enthusiasm for the sport he dominated for over two decades, while former colleagues offered a bit more sympathy, noting that even Brady needs time to get the hang of a new profession.
Among the flood of comments, Antonio Brown's sarcastic jab stood out. He didn't hesitate to pour salt in the wound, mocking his former teammate's shaky debut.
Brown vs. Brady: Round two
Brady and Brown have a history filled with conflicts, even during their time together with the Patriots and the Buccaneers. This time, the ex-receiver seized Brady's awkward performance during the Dallas-Cleveland broadcast to stoke their long-standing feud.
"Maybe someone should have listened to Tom Brady actually say words before dropping $300 million on him," Brown taunted on X (formerly Twitter), referring to the massive 10-year, $375 million contract Fox handed Brady to be their star analyst.
Brown's biting remark echoed other criticisms of Brady, whose commentary fell flat, even during a pivotal moment when Cowboys kicker Brando Aubrey nearly made a record-breaking 71-yard field goal.
Not everyone sides with Brown
Brown's followers quickly flooded his post with responses, many agreeing with him. "Completely spaced out and forgot he was even there! He was so quiet!" one fan remarked. "You'd be WAY more entertaining," added another, while a third chimed in, "You've been preaching today, AB."
Some, however, showed a bit more compassion for the rookie commentator, with one noting, "Bro didn't seem comfortable at all, but it's his first time. Romo was awkward for like the first six months lol. Brady will be fine."

Others pointed out Brown's own troubled past. "Bruh, owners wasted more money on you and knew you were a problem," one user quipped, while another added, "You can't be serious. You know how much money was wasted on you??" Some even accused Brown of copying the tweet from another user.
As the dust settles on Brady's underwhelming debut, one thing's for sure-Brown won't miss any chance to mock his former teammate, adding new fuel to their ongoing rivalry.
