Michael Irvin is not happy with Tyrann Mathieu.
The Hall of Fame recipient does not like the tweet that Chiefs safety has since deleted about Tom Brady following the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl 2021 victory on Sunday. After a heated conversation with Brady before half-time, Mathieu wrote on Twitter: ‘He called me something I would not repeat, but yes, I would let all the media throw me under the bus as if I had done something or something for told him. ‘
Irvin believes the tweet welcomes the speculation about Brady using a racial stir against Mathieu, and on Tuesday Irvin went on to ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ and said that Brady does not use such language.
“I did not like Tyrann Mathieu pronouncing it the way he did it honestly, because I thought – come on, let’s let people know ‘What did he say’, as if he said the n-word? . And he did not. “Tom has not,” said Irvin. ‘So I do not like that it threatens this situation. That’s why I think we need to clean it up somehow. This is what I say. He did not say that. ‘
ESPN reported on Monday that Brady had texted Mathieu after the match apologizing ‘because he had lost his composure at the moment of the match’.
