Tom Brady wasn’t trying to be critical of Daniel Jones.
Then he admitted he was throwing a “little” bit of shade toward the Giants quarterback.
Brady, 47, was speaking on a stage with ESPN host Stephen A. Smith on Friday during the first day of Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in Manhattan when the topic of how he’d handle calling quarterbacks making mistakes while in the broadcast booth arose — before Jones caught a stray.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion, who is joining the No. 1 Fox NFL broadcast team with Kevin Burkhardt this season, said he wouldn’t be as critical of quarterbacks he’s talking about on TV as he was toward himself when he threw an interception to the opposition.
