In the game, Brady — who was not Paul’s teammate — chucked a football at him following the conclusion of a play. The influencer, celebrity boxer and WWE star took exception to it — or at least appeared to — and confronted the future Hall of Famer.

Brady had been seen moving away from a charging Paul at the time with a wide ear-to-ear grin on his face.

Tom, you have two choices:

1.) admit this was staged for something undoubtedly stupid.

2.) admit that it’s real and you slap like an emaciated female street beggar in New Delhi.
