Tom Brady isn’t a man to mince his words. And he definitely didn’t hold back during a recent appearance on HBO’s show ‘The Shop’. During a segment of the show co-hosted by NBA star LeBron James and his business partner Maverick Carter, Brady talked about his brief foray into the world of free agency last season.

“There are private things for me that are going to remain motivational for me,” Brady said. “They know who they are … it’s fine. Everyone has a choice to choose. I think what you realize is, there are not as many smart people as you think,” he added while clearly taking another jibe.
