Tom Brady addressed his critics over speculation about a conflict of interest.

"People who are like that, particularly to a chronic, pathological degree, are telling on themselves," Brady said. "They're showing you their worldview and how they operate.

Brady's role as a Fox analyst comes with several restrictions that forbid him from visiting team facilities or participating in production meetings for NFL games.
