Logan Paul took some friendly fire from Tom Brady during a recent Impaulsive podcast appearance as the two hyped the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic set for March 21, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The exchange aired amid Riyadh Season promotion. It quickly went viral for its mix of competitive banter and crossover star power. The conversation began on the Fanatics red carpet when Paul revealed he’d been invited to compete in the inaugural event at Kingdom Arena.
Brady responded with a grin and a warning, telling Paul he was “a good athlete,” but adding that the competition would be “another level.” Paul, never short on confidence, fired back that he is the level — a claim Brady promptly intercepted like a veteran safety.
“I’m told that I am being flown out to Saudi Arabia to compete in a Fanatics flag football game with you,” Paul said.
To which Brady responded: “Yeah, you know what? I actually am a little worried for you,” Brady quipped.
When Paul questioned, “Worried for me?” Brady elaborated, “Well… You’re a good athlete but you’re like… No no no. These guys are another level.”

The roast picked up steam as Brady compared Paul’s athletic resume to elite NFL talent. The NFL legend questioned whether WWE skills translate to football.
Paul countered by flipping the script, pointing out that NFL stars have shown serious hops in WWE rings — proof that athletic crossover isn’t just a work.
Brady replied by downplaying the grind of sports entertainment, calling WWE “cute,” a line that landed like a clean shot in a promo battle.
“It’s cute. It’s great, you know I love WWE. It is very cute,” he said with a grin. “But honestly this like real football. This is just real competition.”
Paul responded by dusting off his own stat sheet, reminding Brady of his all-state linebacker days and senior-year numbers.
Brady wasn’t buying the nostalgia tour, joking that past accomplishments don’t win games today. The seven-time Super Bowl champion then brought it home, saying what really matters is March 21 in Saudi Arabia — and that Paul would finally compete in something that “matters.”
The moment showcased why these cross-sport exchanges click. Paul, the former WWE United States Champion, thrives on spotlight moments, while Brady remains razor-sharp even in retirement.
With the Fanatics Flag Football Classic blending athletes, influencers, and entertainment, the trash talk feels right on schedule.
Whether Paul proves he can run routes as well as ropes or Brady’s read proves correct, the verbal sparring already scored a touchdown — no replay needed.
