During a panel discussion ahead of his debut as an NFL commentator, Tom Brady can’t resist a jab at Giants playmaker Daniel Jones

Piquant statement from Tom Brady! During a panel discussion at the “Fanatics Fest” in New York, the 47-year-old spoke about his upcoming first season as an NFL commentator for the US broadcaster “FOX” – and how he wants to approach this task.

“I just don’t want to be so critical. Because in some ways, I don’t necessarily know exactly what the problem was on a play,” the quarterback legend explained.

“Let’s say Daniel Jones throws an interception… I didn’t mean to say it like that! That wasn’t even a criticism of Daniel Jones. Maybe it was a little bit,” TB12 couldn’t help but take a jab at the New York Giants playmaker.

When Brady mentioned the name of the Giants playmaker, the audience in attendance initially burst out laughing. Once tempers had calmed down again, there were occasional boos in view of the fact that the event was taking place in the Big Apple.

By the way: In the five seasons Jones has been active in the NFL, he has thrown the ball into the arms of his opponent 40 times

Despite the little jibe, Brady made it clear that he doesn’t want to criticize any individual player during his TV appearances. “I just can’t say that on TV,” Brady said when asked about the idea of calling a player ‘terrible’. “Because there are parents and family members, and I don’t want to criticize like that.”

Incidentally, Brady will make his debut on September 8 as a commentator for the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Dallas Cowboys.
