NFL legend Tom Brady fires back at ref-favoritism theory: 'It's all BS'

NFL legend and FOX Sports analyst Tom Brady joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss his first Super Bowl as a broadcaster and his advice for young athletes who want to take their skills to the next level.

Tom Brady pushed back strongly on the notion of NFL officials’ favoritism toward the Kansas City Chiefs or any other team in the league on Friday, two days before Super Bowl LIX.

FOX’s NFL lead analyst appeared on "Fox & Friends" and was asked about the theory on social media about officials giving favorable calls to the Chiefs.

"I think it’s just all BS. It’s just a bunch of noise," he said. "These refs have very challenging jobs to do. I’m very happy Twitter didn’t exist during the Tuck Rule Game in 2001, let me say that. I would’ve been on the wrong end on a lot of those. But these refs are out there trying to do their very best. 

"They got to make decisions in a split second and they’re gonna call what they see and these guys are some of the most professional people on the field. They just want to do a good job like everyone else. And look, sometimes the calls go your way, sometimes they don’t. In the end, over the course of a 140-play game on both sides of the ball, the players have plenty of opportunities to go out there and make an impact in the game, winning or losing and that’s what I’m excited to see on Sunday night."
