Opposing fans and players have noted for years that Tom Brady receives preferential treatment from referees, and on Wednesday, the famed quarterback responded to the idea.

During the latest episode of his “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray, Brady said he doesn't receive favorable treatment on roughing the passer calls, though he noted he may get away with more taunting and unsportsmanlike conduct compared to other players.

“They probably let me get away with a lot of unsportsmanlike conducts, talking smack to the other team and talking smack to the refs when I don’t think I get the right call,” Brady said.
