The news of Tom Brady announcing his retirement on Wednesday came as Dan Le Batard and company were on the air, and in the midst of the initial reaction to Brady's announcement, Le Batard offered a quick shot at WFAN and FS1 host Craig Carton.
Carton has been hosting a morning show on FS1 since last September. Craig added the TV show to co-hosting his successful afternoon drive program on WFAN alongside Evan Roberts.
But as Le Batard and the rest of the show were looking at the TV trying to figure out what was going on with the Brady story, Dan said he thought it was crazy Carton was on television.
"It enrages me that there's a Carton show," Le Batard said. "The man went to jail. The man defrauded the people and got right back into sports entertainment television!"
Carton went to prison for a year after facing a charge of securities and wire fraud. In the fall of 2020, after being released from jail earlier in the year, Carton made his return to WFAN.
It's possible that Le Batard, who is busy running his own independent media operation, wasn't aware Carton had a TV show. So it's likely seeing Craig's face probably was a bit of a shock. But it was clear Dan wasn't expecting to learn the news from Carton's show.
