Tom Brady and Logan Paul were beefing at Fanatics Fest on Friday.
Whether it was real or staged, the moment appeared to have Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns shaken as the three were together in front of a live audience at the Javits Center, as Brady appeared to slap Paul with his throwing hand.

Brady also posted the apparent incident afterward, calling Paul a “dork.”
Fanatics also posted the back-and-forth, calling it “Round 100” of a “never-ending beef.”
On another post that went up rolling the video, Paul reshared and wrote, “This happened bc I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football. And he tries to smack me ?? Horrible example for the kids Aura -100 + Blocked. With a torn tricep.”
Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, responded, “I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd.”
The two were linked at another Fanatics event, a flag football game earlier this year.

In the game, Brady — who was not Paul’s teammate — chucked a football at him following the conclusion of a play. The influencer, celebrity boxer and WWE star took exception to it — or at least appeared to — and confronted the future Hall of Famer.

Brady had been seen moving away from a charging Paul at the time with a wide ear-to-ear grin on his face.
In March, the two had another exchange at a Fanatics Flag Football event where Brady trolled Paul about the latter’s high school football career.
“Logan pulled out of a lot of fights this week. You scored 19 TDs in high school. No one cares,” Brady said to Paul after apparently ducking fights with former All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell — who actually is 2-1 as a pro boxer — and Rams pass rusher Myles Garrett, the single-season NFL sack leader.
Friday’s flap the latest in the ongoing saga between Brady and Paul, a bizarre beef on paper, but one that no one would be surprised to see spill onto a WWE ring, given that it’s SummerSlam season. Brady said he’s looking to have a WWE moment someday.
“I need to get an invite. I’ve been waiting for [WWE president] Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix,” Brady said on Thursday to Cody Rhodes on a live taping “What Do You Wanna Talk About?”

“I feel like I’m retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I’m a little bit of an athlete,” Brady added.
