Legendary NFL player and current TV presenter Shannon Sharpe has harshly criticised six-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady following the loss of his team, the New England Patriot’s to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. Sharpe called Brady “terrible” and “the worst quarterback” in the entire National Football League, suggesting that he will not be with the Patriots next season.
While discussing the recent game during his show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, Sharpe dismissed suggestions that referees helped the Chiefs during the Monday match, which ended 16-23 in their favour.
“No - that’s an easy excuse”, Sharpe said. “And using that excuse will call you to bypass what really happened. It is that Tom Brady played terribly”.
“I’m talking about 2019, and Tom Brady has not been good”, Sharpe added.
Brady’s fans, however, had a strong reaction to Sharpe’s criticisms. While some backed the NFL guru’s claims, most of Sharpe’s followers pointed out that his rampage was too harsh.
42-year-old Tom Brady has won six Super Bowls throughout his career, the largest number of wins by a player. However, he was suspended for several games during the 2016 season following his alleged involvement in the football-deflation controversy.
