Tom Brady roasts Logan Paul, calls wrestler’s athletic abilities ‘cute’

Tom Brady wanted Logan Paul to know that there are levels to athletic greatness. Both Paul and Brady are set to compete in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia next month.

Paul decided to talk some trash while Brady was on set for his “IMPAULSIVE” podcast. Brady gave it right back to him.

“I’m actually a little worried for you,” Brady said. “You’re a good athlete, but these guys are on another level.”

Paul, who began his career as a YouTuber before pursing professional boxing and wrestling opportunities, said that he was on the “highest level” of athletes.

Brady said that Paul’s athletics abilities aren’t on the same level as those of a Saquon Barkley, Justin Jefferson, or Odell Beckham Jr. Paul interrupted, asking if Barkley could flip off the top rope of a wrestling ring.

“It’s cute,” Brady said. “I love WWE. It’s very cute. But, honestly, this is like real football, real competition.”

Paul bought up his high school football stats, mentioning that he was an all-state linebacker in Ohio while also rushing for 1,200 yards and 19 touchdowns during his senior year.

The 7-time Super Bowl champion quarterback did not seem impressed.

“Let’s see if you can still bring it,” Brady said. “We all had a great past, I won seven Super Bowls, who gives a [expletive]. You know what matters? This game, March 21, in Saudi, I’m glad you’re going to be there and I’m glad you’re finally going to participate in a competition that matters.”

Brady made a couple of posts on X, saying that was having a great morning until he talked to Paul and got mad.

“I hope people understand the level of competition this game is going to be,” Brady said. “If you’re on my team you’re going to be locked in, all out, and we’re going to not just win… but dominate. I do think @loganpaul has the right attitude and the effort will be there. How far that gets him will remain to be seen.”

The tournament will be a round-robin style competition featuring three teams comprised of past and present NFL stars including Brady, Barkley, Rob Gronkowki, Christian McCaffrey, Myles Garett, and Maxx Crosby among others.

It will be played on March 21 Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Tubi.

“This guy is insane. The audacity of Tom Brady,” Paul said. “I can’t believe it, he wins seven Super Bowls and thinks that he can just go around and talk about his flag football game like it’s the Pro Bowl.”
