Tom Brady responded to two remarks former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick made over the last week.

Fitzpatrick said on Barstool Sports’ "Pardon My Take" that Brady "p----s" him off and seven-time Super Bowl champion had a lack of respect for him throughout his career. Fitzpatrick also claimed he was that "mother f---er" Brady referred to in the episode of "The Shop" in 2021.

Brady, in the latest episode of the "Let’s Go" podcast, said he had no ill will toward Fitzpatrick but did not understand why he was taking the criticism.

"Let's talk about Ryan. And I love Ryan, but for some reason he's got it out for me. I actually talked to Ryan Griffin, who's one of our quarterbacks, he said, ‘Ryan's always all over you. I don't know why.’ So I don't know why Ryan is," Brady said.

"Maybe Ryan and I need to have a talk. Ryan's a hell of a guy, too. And I've competed against him. I mean, he's a Harvard guy. Now he looks like he's part homeless. And now he's on TV doing what my future job's gonna be. So I think Ryan's got a good thing going. I'm not sure why he needs to think that I'm after him or something like that."

Brady added that the "mother f---er" he referred to during the episode of "The Shop" was not Fitzpatrick.
