Out of frustration and disappointment, Burr took a dig at Brady’s age and the mishap the fans witnessed while the Patriots were executing the trick play that night. “You know what was funny, on that play you actually saw his age,” Burr said on the show. “When he stands in the pocket, he looks 25. The second he starts running it’s like ‘dude, I could D this guy up. Like did you see last year, when he threw that pick-six? When he dove to tackle that guy, it looked like somebody threw a dead body out of a car.” he added to his rants.
