NFL legend Tom Brady slapped YouTuber and WWE superstar Logan Paul in a bizarre exchange at a sports festival.<\/p>\n
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady, 48, came face-to-face with internet sensation Paul, 31, at Fanatics Fest on Saturday (AEST) \u2014 a sports, collecting, and pop culture event in San Diego.<\/p>\n

The pair appeared to exchange some heated verbals, before Brady slapped Paul and they were pulled apart.<\/p>\n
New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns was in between the two men and seemed stunned that they had come to blows.<\/p>\n
Brady later took to social media, sharing the video and simply adding: \u201cDork.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Paul reacted: \u201cThis happened because I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football. And he tries to smack me?? Horrible example for the kids.<\/p>\n
\u201cAura \u2014 100 + blocked. With a torn tricep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul previously became enraged with Brady earlier this year when the New England Patriots icon threw a ball at him during a game of flag football.<\/p>\n
In March, Brady then mocked Paul\u2019s football ability by saying: \u201cLogan pulled out of a lot of fights this week. You scored 19 TDs (touchdowns) in high school. No one cares.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cfights\u201d Brady referenced were rumoured bouts between Paul and All-Pro running back Le\u2019Veon Bell and Los Angeles Rams star Myles Garrett.<\/p>\n
The Brady-Paul spat boiled over less than 48 hours after the ex-Tampa Bay Buccanners man, who retired in 2022, stated his desire to appear in the WWE.<\/p>\n
On Cody Rhodes\u2019 \u201cWhat Do You Wanna Talk About?,\u201d Brady said: \u201cI need to get an invite. I\u2019ve been waiting for [WWE president] Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I\u2019m retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I\u2019m a little bit of an athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul made his WWE debut in 2021 and has fast-become one of the biggest stars in the industry.<\/p>\n
He has been out of action since May due to a torn tricep which he suffered during a match at Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event XLIV.<\/p>\n
The injury required surgery and is expected to keep him sidelined for up to six months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL legend Tom Brady slapped YouTuber and WWE superstar Logan Paul in a bizarre exchange at a sports…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":809885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[284229,284225,284224,284231,78182,24073,284233,284192,284209,284194,284207,284220,284247,284221,284210,284198,284243,4799,284204,284219,284215,284239,284196,284206,284234,13281,284240,49,48,67048,284197,250410,284218,14403,78296,284212,527,284227,42380,284241,284245,284217,284232,115409,284202,140160,1992,284208,58932,514,284203,284244,284235,201944,4623,284213,284214,284199,19685,46091,284246,1942,284228,284222,82,2856,284193,284242,284205,284216,284237,284223,284230,284249,284195,284226,284248,284211,284200,4223,12486,55599,284238,284201,284236],"class_list":["post-809884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-s-football-ability","tag-s-main-event-xliv-the-injury","tag-wwe-president-nick-khan","tag-19-tds","tag-78182","tag-24073","tag-284233","tag-284192","tag-a-ball","tag-a-bizarre-exchange","tag-a-game","tag-a-little-bit","tag-a-lot","tag-a-match","tag-a-sports","tag-a-sports-festival","tag-a-torn-tricep","tag-action","tag-aest","tag-an-athlete","tag-an-invite","tag-an-opportunity","tag-apart-new-york-knicks-star-karl-anthony-towns","tag-aura-100","tag-bouts","tag-brady","tag-brutal-insults","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-collecting","tag-earlier-this-year","tag-fanatics-fest","tag-fast-become-one","tag-fights","tag-flag-football","tag-flag-football-in","tag-football","tag-football-icon-brady","tag-high-school","tag-his-desire","tag-his-wwe-debut","tag-horrible-example","tag-internet-sensation-paul","tag-leveon-bell","tag-less-than-48-hours","tag-logan","tag-logan-paul","tag-los-angeles-rams-star-myles-garrett-the-brady-paul-spat","tag-march","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-great-tom-brady","tag-nfl-legend-tom-brady","tag-no-one","tag-pair","tag-paul","tag-paul-and-all-pro","tag-pop-culture-event","tag-san-diego-watch-tom-brady-slap-logan-paul","tag-saturday","tag-saturday-night","tag-seven-time-super-bowl-champion-brady","tag-social-media","tag-some-heated-verbals","tag-some-storyline","tag-sports","tag-surgery","tag-the-fights-brady","tag-the-biggest-stars","tag-the-ex-tampa-bay-buccanners-man","tag-the-industry-he","tag-the-kids","tag-the-mix","tag-the-new-england-patriots-icon","tag-the-two-men","tag-the-video","tag-the-video-player","tag-the-wwe-on-cody-rhodes","tag-their-shocking-altercation","tag-this-week","tag-tom","tag-tom-brady","tag-touchdowns","tag-up-to-six-months","tag-youtuber-and-wwe-star-logan-paul","tag-youtuber-and-wwe-superstar-logan-paul"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/809885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
