Tom Brady Takes Dig at Bill Belichick During Commencement Speech

Tom Brady had some choice words for Bill Belichick. The former NFL quarterback took a dig at his former collaborator, Bill Belichick. Videos by Wide Open Country Belichick and Brady were an unstoppable force for years, bringing in six Super Bowl wins. But they didn't necessarily get along during their time at the New England Patriots. Brady spoke at Georgetown University's business school graduation. And he called out Belichick. "I don't do well with compliments," Brady said. "I had a coach for 20 years tell me how s—ty I was every day." He encouraged students to surround themselves with people who can help them evolve as people. Even if "one of those people is a cranky old coach who cuts the sleeves off their sweatshirt and screams at you all day." Tom Brady Speaks Out Brady also used the speech to call out fellow quarterback Eli Manning. "Sitting here looking out at this crowd of amazing business majors, I realized something — sports was a very strange way to make a living," Brady said. "People screamed at me all the time, they gambled on my performance, and they celebrated all my failures. One way that sports is a lot like business, though, is that when you do it long enough, your life gets defined by numbers. "Twenty-three, that was the number of pro seasons I played. Seven, those were my Super Bowl wins. Three, those were the Super Bowl losses. D--n it, Eli Manning." Brady couldn't pass up the chance to discuss his infamous 28-3 comeback at the Super Bowl against the Falcons as well. Talk about motivation. "Not exactly how I thought the way things would go when I woke up that morning," Brady continued. "But you know what? It happens sometimes. You guys are going to see that. You're going to think you're better than your competition, you're going to work really hard and it's still not going to go the way you want. You're going to find yourself on the short end of that 99.7 percent wondering just how the hell you got there. "Overcoming fear and doubt in the face of those challenges is where you're going to gain the confidence to make your best choices when things aren't going the way you want."
