Brady kept a sense of humour throughout the exercise. The first message he read stated: "Tom Brady looks like the kind of man who doesn't know how to use a wrench."
"That's kind of true," the quarterback admitted.
Another insulted Brady's chin dimple in the following manner: "Hi. I'm Tom Brady and I'm a crybaby and I have a butthole in my chin!"
"Butthole?" a dismayed Brady wondered.
One of the tweets stated: "Hope everyone has a great Monday except for Tom Brady, f*** you Tom Brady." To that one, Brady replied: "F*** you!"
One person wished evil on Brady's pet, stating: "F*** you Tom Brady I hope your dog eats chocolate and gets really sick and throws up on your socks."
Brady replied: "That's f***ed-up."
Kimmel said: "That's Tom's line, and you crossed it!"
The footballer will play during Super Bowl LV this Sunday, 7 February with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he signed in March 2020. Tampa will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.
