As Tom Brady acknowledged earlier this week, the Patriots aren’t able to completely avoid seeing team critics in the media. Still, it’s rare for a player to offer a direct response.
That’s exactly what happened on Wednesday, when New England linebacker Kyle Van Noy offered some advice to ESPN’s Max Kellerman. As a co-host on “First Take” with Stephen A. Smith, Kellerman has been a consistent critic of Brady’s in particular.
Even after the 41-year-old quarterback carved up the Chargers’ defense for 343 yards passing in the Patriots’ 41-28 playoff win on Sunday, Kellerman refused to credit Brady.
