Fans swipe at NFL legend after video emerged of him questioning Wayne Rooney as a coach
Brady said he was 'a little worried' about the Manchester United legend's approach to coaching in a fly-on-the-wall documentary series following the League One champions.
Speaking to his business manager Ben Rawitz, the 47-year-old revealed his concerns over Rooney's ability to lead the team.
'The coaches should transmit those values (that you want in the players),' Brady said, as reported by The Sun.
'I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic.'
Rawitz then responded: 'A little too lackadaisical?'

It came after Brady had shared his own experiences in the NFL with Rooney while at the training ground.
The legendary quarterback appointed Rooney to replace John Eustace at St Andrew's in October 2023 with Birmingham sixth in the Championship table.
However, he was sacked three months later after winning just two out of 15 games.
The Blues had dropped down to 20th by the time Rooney left.
Despite his disappointing tenure at Birmingham, fans have jumped to the ex-striker's defence following Brady's comments.
One person said: 'I think Brady needs to stay in his lane.'
Another commented: 'Zero class from Brady.'
A third wrote: 'It's the Tom Brady show, shame he has no class and no idea of the game.'

Minjee Lee and Steph Kyriacou make late moves at the Women's British Open in Wales
Victory looks a stretch for either of them, but Aussies Minjee Lee and Steph Kyriacou both motored up the leaderboard on the third day of the Women's British Open. "I had a nice day. I felt like I moved on moving day. I hoped I could close the gap a little bit with the people teeing off now and a little bit later," said Lee, who shot a 68 to move to two under par. Kyriacou, whose sensational hole-in-one stole the headlines on Friday, carded a 69 and shares 11th place on three under. Conditions remained challenging at Royal Porthcawl in Wales, and Japan's Miyu Yamashita maintained her lead despite stumbling to a two-over 74. Yamashita is at nine under, but her advantage was narrowed to a single shot heading into tonight's (AEST) final round. A Lim Kim of South Korea moved into second place at eight under, with American Andrea Lee third on seven under. Australian Lee was an early starter alongside compatriot Grace Kim, the only other Aussie who had made the cut, whose 74 left her well adrift on four over. "I missed putts on two and three, obviously 18," Lee said. "Had a lot of really great looks out there. I feel like the short ones, I'm over-reading them a little bit. "It's kind of tough because you think the surface is not going to break, but sometimes it really does break. It's just the way links golf is. Sometimes it's hard to pick the breaks." Kim produced one of the most thrilling finishes in major championship history last month to win the Evian Championship. "I think, for Grace, it's probably too close to her winning so far. She's probably still a little bit on the high," Lee said. "She's only had one week off and had to play the next two. It's probably maybe when we have two weeks off next week, she'll be able to really relax and soak it more in maybe." As for her own chances on Sunday, Lee said she felt she was too far back. "I think tomorrow is going to be go as low as I can. I'm probably too far back," she said. After her rollercoaster round on Friday, Kyriacou, who made four birdies, said she had barely looked at the leaderboard. "Yes, definitely not as exciting. I mean, it's not a bad thing," she said. "Less bogeys on the card, which was a goal today. I haven't really checked the leaderboard yet. I assume I moved up in this wind. "I dropped one today. I dropped four yesterday, which was quite rough. "I'm pretty sure I have to chase, foot on the gas. The same goals as the last couple days. I think I said this yesterday, but you just have to be brave and play with the elements out there." A group of four tied for fourth place at six under included Japan's Minami Katsu and Rio Takeda, England's Charley Hull and American Megan Khang. Yamashita and Takeda, who was alone in second place through two rounds, were the only members of the top 10 on the leaderboard to shoot over-par. Takeda, Yamashita's playing partner, also was two over. World number one Nelly Korda stumbled to a 74 to leave her at even par for the tournament in a tie for 36th place. Defending champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand shot a two-under 70 and was also tied for 36th at even par. AAP

British and Irish Lions hooker Dan Sheehan cited for hit on Wallabies flyhalf Tom Lynagh
British and Irish Lions hooker Dan Sheehan has been cited for foul play over an incident in Saturday's third Test against Australia that left Wallabies' flyhalf Tom Lynagh knocked out. The incident was briefly looked at by the match officials just before halftime but Sheehan initially escaped punishment even though replays showed he entered a ruck at speed and appeared to make dangerous contact with Lynagh's head. The Australian playmaker was taken from the field to undergo a head injury assessment, which he failed, preventing him from rejoining the match, which the Wallabies won 22-12. Sheehan's actions at the ruck were hotly debated on social media, with many incredulous that he was let off as Australian supporters argued he should have been given an instant red card. PREMIUM RUGBY CONTENT An independent reviewer later looked back at the incident and World Rugby subsequently released a statement in the early hours of Sunday morning announcing Sheehan had been cited and would face an expedited hearing later that day. 'British & Irish Lions player Dan Sheehan will have a citing complaint reviewed by an independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) after being cited by the independent citing commissioner Adrien Menez for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.20 (a) (a player must not charge into a ruck or maul …) in the Australia v British & Irish Lions third test in Sydney on Saturday, 2 August,' World Rugby said in the statement. Asked about the incident after the match, Lions coach Andy Farrell said he couldn't comment because he hadn't looked at it yet. 'There are all sorts of rugby incidents that we can pull apart. I've seen quite a few more incidents as well,' he said. 'We'll always go through the right channels when that's concerned.' Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt was also tight-lipped after launching a blistering attack on the way officials deal with head knocks from collisions at rucks after the Television Match Official failed to penalise the Lions over another contentious clean-out that would have ruled out their series-winning try in the second Test in Melbourne. But Schmidt was biting his tongue this time when asked about the hit on Lynagh, the talented young son of Wallabies great Michael Lynagh. 'In live, we didn't see Tom's incident, and it was probably a little bit later that we got a glimpse of it, and that's all I've seen so far,' Schmidt said. 'So I'd rather not comment on it until I've seen it. But … You know, there's always a difficulty for a TMO, I guess. He's watching the main TV broadcast, and then if he doesn't pick it up there, then he doesn't' access the other angles because everything's happening so quickly.' Schmidt did say that he didn't think there was any malice from the Irish hooker and also that he had checked in on Lynagh's health to ensure he was OK 'I've got massive respect for Dan,' Schmidt said. 'There's a few things like that that will happen in a really physical contest. 'For us with Tom, he is still a young kid and we'll try to look after him and make sure that he's fully fit on the back of getting that knock. But I had a good chat to him after the game and he's pretty resilient.'

Rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal helps India set England daunting target in thrilling finale
Yashasvi Jaiswal made a sparkling hundred and Washington Sundar a blistering fifty before Mohammed Siraj struck with the last ball of Saturday's play to bolster India's hopes of a series-levelling win in the fifth and deciding Test against England at the Oval. India were dismissed for 396 in their second innings on the third day as they set England a target of 374 to win with just over two days' remaining. Fast bowler Siraj, ever-present in all five matches of a gruelling series, yorked Zak Crawley for 14 with just two balls left to spark joyous celebrations among the tourists. England were 50-1 at stumps, still requiring a further 324 runs to win, with Ben Duckett 34 not out. No side have made more to win in the fourth innings of a Test at the Oval than England's 263 in a one-wicket victory over Australia back in 1902. However, the most England have made to win any Test in the fourth innings was their 378 against India at Edgbaston in 2022, while they also chased down 371 at Headingley in the opening match of this series. 'It is a replay from Headingley,' England fast bowler Josh Tongue, who took 5-125 on Saturday, told the BBC. He added: 'It will be a great day of cricket tomorrow and a great day for us if we get the runs. It (the pitch) is doing a bit. A few balls tonight jumped off a good length but if you get through the first hour who knows?' Earlier, Jaiswal was out for 118, his second hundred of the series after the talented left-hander's ton at Headingley. 'I need to push, and I need to do well for my team,' said Jaiswal. 'I was constantly talking to myself and enjoying the pressure.' The 23-year-old opener received superb support from Akash Deep in a third-wicket partnership of 107, the paceman belying his status as a nightwatchman with an accomplished 66 -- his maiden Test fifty. Ravindra Jadeja and Sundar, both fresh from hundreds in Manchester, each made 53, with Sundar launching a brutal assault after a depleted England took the new ball. A wayward home team, a bowler down after Chris Woakes suffered a shoulder injury diving in the field on Thursday, harmed their own cause by dropping six catches in the innings, with Jaiswal reprieved three times. India resumed Saturday on 75-2. Deep, dropped in the slips by Crawley off Tongue on 21, went to fifty when he pulled Gus Atkinson for his ninth four. But with India on the verge of batting through the morning session without losing a wicket, Deep fell to Jamie Overton. Shubman Gill, who has enjoyed a remarkable first series as India captain, fell to the very first ball after lunch when lbw to Atkinson for 11. His exit left Gill just 20 runs adrift of Sunil Gavaskar's longstanding record for the most runs by an Indian cricketer in a Test series of 774, set against the West Indies in 1971. Gill compiled 754 runs at a superb average of 75, including four hundreds. Jaiswal's quick single off Atkinson saw the elated batsman to a 127-ball century, including 12 fours and two sixes. Jaiswal, dropped on 110 by Duckett at leg gully, was eventually dismissed when he ramped Tongue straight to deep backward point before Jadeja completed his fifth fifty of the series in 71 balls. England took the new ball as soon as possible, with India 342-7 off 80 overs and promptly tried to bounce out Sundar in what proved to be an expensive ploy. The left-hander responded with three superb sixes, including hoisting Tongue over fine leg and deep midwicket in the space of three balls. Sundar then smashed two fours and a soaring six over midwicket off three successive Atkinson deliveries to complete a brilliant 39-ball fifty before he was last man out.
