Tom Brady Reveals Texting Joe Burrow to Trash-Talk Ahead of Classic Flag Football Game

Tom Brady sent trash-talk texts to Joe Burrow before the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, a three-team NFL star tournament promoting flag football for the 2028 Olympics.

  • On Saturday, March 21, legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady will face Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels in the inaugural Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
  • Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, is using the event to showcase his competitive nature, frequently engaging in playful trash talk with his younger opponents while preparing for the round-robin tournament.
  • During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, Brady revealed he texted Burrow and Daniels, saying, "I love beating Heisman Trophy winners," referencing his motivation as the 199th pick.
  • The playful banter has turned increasingly "heated" between the quarterbacks, with Brady taking jabs at Burrow during Wednesday night's draft after reports of Burrow attending an Oscars party with Brady's alleged girlfriend.
  • Featuring three squads including the USA national flag football team, the tournament will play two 15-minute halves under Olympic rules, with the top two teams advancing to the championship game Saturday.
