While Pitt’s narration of Brady’s legacy in football was much-appreciated, a considerable number of fans have noted on social media that the footballer didn’t have to be heaped with praise.

One of them tweeted, "@NFL How much did y'all pay Brad Pitt to read Tom Brady's wikipedia page?" Another irked user wrote, "Ok so Tom Brady gets a commercial about his “legacy” narrated by Brad Pitt? Why doesn’t the NFL just suck his dick a little more?" Adding to the above tweets one said, "Brad Pitt narrating a piece on Tom Brady = my personal hell. Fingernails on a chalkboard X 2."
