Tom Brady admits he gets away with talking smack to refs: 'I'm kind of a pain in their ass'

There are advantages to being Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. If you have an issue with a call against your team, you can yell at the referees and know you probably won't get penalized.

Brady admitted the refs let him get away with more smack talk than other players during an appearance on his "Let's Go!" podcast with Jim Gray. The comment came after Brady was asked about roughing the passer penalties. Brady benefitted from a questionable roughing the passer penalty during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Brady said he doesn't think he gets favorable calls when it comes to that particular penalty.

Brady then admitted he gets extra leeway from the officials when talking smack to an opponent or arguing a call. "I'm kind of a pain in [the officials'] ass," Brady added.

Brady has no issue confronting officials after penalties. It sounds like Brady may have crossed the line a few times during those arguments, but managed to avoid getting flagged for it.
