Many top NFL stars are competing at the first-ever Fanatics Flag Football Classic, but Pat McAfee isn’t impressed by their production.
Tom Brady’s flag football event debuts Saturday in Los Angeles with many current and former NFL greats in attendance. However, the on-field action has been dominated by Team USA players that fans might not be familiar with.

That prompted Pat McAfee to deliver a legendary rant after Team USA balled out against the two teams full of NFL stars. Brady’s Team Founders squad and Joe Burrow’s Team Wildcats teams both lost against the U.S. group in their opening games.
“Why the f*** did these NFL guys sign up to play against the greatest flag football players of all time?” McAfee joked in a social media video.
Meanwhile, Darrell Doucette III and the American team have put a lot on the line to impress their NFL counterparts at the debut Fanatics Flag Football Classic.

Many of the current American players are auditioning for the 2028 Summer Olympics, which will mark the first time flag football has been played at the highest international level.
The strong results are all the more impressive considering the quality of NFL stars competing in LA. In addition to Burrow and Brady, Saquon Barkley, Stefon Diggs and many other elite talents are in attendance.

Meanwhile, iShowSpeed and Logan Paul are representing the social media stars hoping to show out. Paul, in particular, continues to feud with Brady and is using the flag football game as added fuel.

Team USA and Team Wildcats are meeting in the championship game, and an American team has a great opportunity to lock up a title and ultimate bragging rights over the NFL veterans.
