Future Pro Football Hall of Famer Tom Brady made an appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday. He spent some of his time at the star-studded event with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. 

At one point during a sit down with Smith, Brady began discussing a hypothetical interception — which is when he brought up New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.

"Let's say Daniel Jones throws an interception," Brady said as some of the attendees laughed. The crowd's reaction seemed to make the seven-time Super Bowl winner realize how his comment was being interpreted. 

"I didn't mean to say it like that. I wasn't even being critical of Daniel Jones," Brady clarified. "Maybe I was a little."

Smith and Brady also discussed the legendary NFL player's gameplan for his broadcasting career. Brady cautioned that he hopes to avoid being overly critical of quarterbacks when he is in the broadcast booth.

"That was horrible," was an example of a phrase Brady said he might have an inclination to say into the microphone, but he acknowledged, "I just can't say that on TV."
