Tom Brady said last week he thinks there is “a lot of mediocrity” in the modern NFL. Alex Smith thinks Brady’s critique is unfair.
Smith addressed the comments by Brady on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, and contrary to the opinion of his fellow ex-quarterback, he thinks the game has actually improved.
However, in the process of making his point, Smith set flames to the entire Countdown crew and it was television gold. He mentioned how Brady played the majority of his career in “the most uncompetitive division, I think, in NFL history.” The only problem is that division, the AFC East, was also home to every single one of his co-hosts. Randy Moss and Tedy Bruschi were Brady’s teammates in New England, and Rex Ryan coached for both the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills in the division.

Hilarious.
At least Smith had the awareness to know what he was about to do and let his teammates know the burn was coming before it came.
