Rodgers seems to have continued his barrage on the young duo, stating, “When we started [in the NFL], definitely when [Brady] started and when I started playing, there was actual, real trash talk…And now, it’s more buddy-buddy, you know, social media following each other, memes, this emoji s**t, and it’s not the same. So, when you talk about Kermit the Frog [Mahomes, per memes] and Josh [Allen] trying to s**t talk me and Tom, a couple old-school, grizzled vets. Come on.”
Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are ready to shock the world
Within the team of Mahomes and Allen, it was the latter who took the opportunity to answer well. The Bills QB took potshots at Brady and how he will struggle to trash talk both the young QBs. But the 7-time Super Bowl champion Brady is well known for his comebacks. He was not kind to Allen by belittling him for losing constantly in the NFL.
Despite the elite trash-talking exchanges, all 4 players have been busy and away from the golf course for far more than they would have liked. The game is being billed as the matchup of experience against the youth and both teams appear confident of getting the victory.
The stage appears set for the 4 of the best NFL has to offer to put on a show.
