Teams begin reporting to training camp this week for the 2026-27 NFL season. This is one of the best times of the year, as fans of every NFL team have high hopes that their team can compete for the Super Bowl. But one former NFL player who no longer has to worry about getting prepared for training camp is Tom Brady.
He now has a lucrative job as the lead color commentator for Fox, and he spends his offseasons doing things we never saw while he was playing. Brady was recently seen at Fanatics Fest arguing with Logan Paul, which led to Brady slapping him across the face.
NFL World Rips Tom Brady for Beef with Logan Paul
Many believe the beef was made up for content purposes, and the beef continued at the World Cup, where the two were seen making gestures at each other. Many people are confused why Brady is bothering with Paul when that was never his persona during his football career.
Upon seeing the video of Brady and Paul at the World Cup final, many people took to social media to try and find out why Brady is doing this.
Boston Sports’ Conor Ryan said, “This is embarrassing,” when referring to the video of Brady and Paul. He is not the only one to think that way.
Another person who spoke out about this is a popular fan handle on X, Karen McGee, who discussed the legacies of Brady and Bill Belichick by saying, “Brady and Belichick both leave the NFL as the GOATs and promptly get into a competition to see who can ruin their legacies the fastest.”

This is strange to see Brady getting caught up in stuff like this for a guy who many considered the greatest NFL player of all time. He has been in the media plenty since his retirement and has become a fan of social media and all the content that comes along with it.
All of this seems like something that would be beneath Brady, as one content creator said on X, “Can someone tell Tom Brady he’s above fake beefing with Logan Paul.” Brady may be doing this to promote the WWE, which Paul is a part of, and Brady could be in talks with WWE about a wrestling promotion.
When most players retire, they step away from the game and out of the spotlight. However, that has not been the case for Brady, who has only become more recognizable since he hung up the cleats.

Another content creator said, “What Tom Brady has become post NFL career is unfathomable.”
Some people are even pointing to Michael Jordan as what Brady should be doing post-NFL career. Once Jordan retired from basketball (for good), he left the spotlight. However, that was not during the social media era, and Brady sees an opportunity to make more money post-football, and he has taken advantage of it.
A content creator said, “You really have to appreciate Michael Jordan for his post-retirement obscurity.”
It may be strange to see Brady acting like this; however, this is what he has decided to do in his post-football career, and many people seem to be interested.
