Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady fielded some “Mean Tweets” on Jimmy Kimmel Live ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl, and the Twittersphere had some… interesting takes on the veteran signal-caller.

The segment opens with one user joking Brady looks as if he does not know how to use a wrench. Another rather grotesquely suggested the six-time Super Bowl champion should be “dropped in a vat of rendered bacon fat.”

Brady took his licks and responded in kind, though the buck stopped when one tweet wished ill upon his canine.

Tom Brady has been exposed to plenty of criticism throughout the years.

Whether fans and pundits suggest he is a “system quarterback” or suggest his arm strength has dwindled in recent years, Brady has often been the subject of intense scrutiny. Max Kellerman of ESPN famously said in 2016 Brady would fall off a “cliff” a comment he has since retracted. Well, technically.

In any case, there is no debating Brady's track record. He is preparing for his 10th Super Bowl appearance, a truly unprecedented achievement. Moreover, Brady continues to defy expectations of a declining skill set as he ages.

The 43-year-old led the NFL in average intended air yards, per Pro Football Reference, despite skepticism regarding his ability to throw the deep ball. Brady and head coach Bruce Arians have seemingly met halfway, combining quick-hitter actions with the downfield passing attack typical of an Arians scheme.

It is unlikely Tom Brady will gain much motivation from the random Twitter user taking shots online. But he will surely take some from going against Patrick Mahomes and the favored Kansas City Chiefs.
