Logan Paul responds to Tom Brady after NFL icon admits ‘he’s mad’ following tense podcast exchange

Logan Paul has responded to Tom Brady in the most Logan Paul way.

The NFL icon made an appearance on Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast where the two discussed the WWE and YouTube star’s involvement in the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic event in Saudi Arabia on March 21.

The all-time great quarterback appeared to be skeptical of how the pro wrestler would stack up against some of the NFL’s best players in the one-off event, something Brady himself will also be playing in.

“I am told that I am being flown out to Saudi Arabia to compete in a Fanatics flag football game with you,” Paul said.

“I’m actually a little worried for you,” Brady replied.

“Worried for me?” Paul questioned.

“You’re a good athlete. But these guys are on another level,” Brady continued as Paul laughed off the words he was hearing.

“I am the highest level. I am the level,” the 30-year-old rebutted.

“No, you’re not the level,” Brady fired back. “You’re a good athlete.

“But honestly, I’m thinking of Saquon Barkley and I’m thinking of Odell Beckham and Justin Jefferson.”

“Can Saquon Barkley do a flip off of the top rope?” Paul interjected. “Have you not seen a moonsault off the top rope?”

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

“I was an all-state linebacker. I rushed for 1,200 yards, 19 touchdowns my senior year,” Paul claimed.

“Well see if you can still bring it,” Brady responded.

“Look, we all had our great paths. I won seven Super Bowls… you know what matters? This game. … I’m glad you’re finally going to participate in a contest that matters.”

“This guy’s insane. The audacity of Tom Brady. I can’t believe it,” Paul added.

“He wins seven Super Bowls and thinks he can go around talk about his flag football game like it’s going to be the Pro Bowl.”

“It’s going to be way better than that,” Brady replied.

Adding fuel to the fire

It is uncertain whether the pair are actually feuding or whether this is just a PR stunt to boost up interest ahead of the big game in March.

Nonetheless, the back-and-forth has spilled over onto social media.

With the clip of the heated exchange being posted online, Brady took to his X account to clarify a few things.

“I hope people understand the level of competition this game is going to be. 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,” Brady posted.

“I do think @loganpaul has the right attitude and the effort will be there. How far that gets him will remain to be seen.”

Just 10 minutes later, Brady sent out a second tweet which read: “I was having a great morning and now I’m mad.”

On Wednesday night, Paul responded by posting a reel on his social media of him watching the exchange, particularly when the $375 million Fox color analyst talks about Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley.

He then proceeds to post a video of himself in the gym receiving a football and doing football moves, including replicating Barkley’s infamous backwards hurdle jump before putting his hands up in the air to gesture that the move was easy.

The clip, which was captioned ‘The NFL is cute @tombrady’ then showed some of Paul’s best WWE highlights of him jumping off the rope of the ring and smacking his opponents down.

This feud could get tasty as promotion ramps up for the big event.
