Tom Brady’s latest tweet does not leave his doubters off the hook.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and Super Bowl LV MVP posted a 60-second Twitter video on Wednesday to signal to his critics that he hasn’t forgotten what they said about him earlier.

Some in the sports media didn’t expect that Brady, who turned 43 in August, could lead Tampa Bay to the Super Bowl. In 2020, the team won 11 regular season games – after winning just seven games in 2019 – then won three games on the road to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LV.

The 60-second video from Brady’s account was tweeted Wednesday afternoon with the simple text “I love talk radio” and a tag from his company, TB12 Sports.

The video opens with scenes from Super Bowl LV, before jumping to the New Orleans Saints defense, Cameron Jordan joking that Brady is “a week away from a little arthritis, honey.”

The headlines from major news organizations questioning Brady’s ability to win again are featured in clips of Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Leonard Fournette from Super Bowl LV. One is from a 2019 ESPN article titled, “Tom Brady Is Showing Signs Of Decline. Is It Real or Another Mirage?”

There are also sound bites from various sports media personalities – including ESPN’s Max Kellerman – and tweets scolding Brady. The video ends with the Vince Lombardi trophy hoisting and an image of the No. 7 in red surrounded by Roman numerals for the Super Bowls he won.

In winning his seventh ring – his first without being a member of the New England Patriots – Brady was 21 of 29 for 201 yards and three passing touchdowns in the game, which took place at home for the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. in Tampa Bay. Brady and the Bucs overpowered Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl 31-9.
