NFL legend Tom Brady will need more of a filter in the broadcast booth.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion turned FOX color commentator made several colorful comments during the Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys game two weekends ago.
He said, “Oh s***” when reacting to Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels injuring his elbow before halftime, then called Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott pass to CeeDee Lamb an “absolute piss missile” in the fourth quarter.
Brady apologized and said he’s, “actually kind of embarrassed” about his comments afterwards.
On Tuesday Brady made an Instagram post that revealed another fallout from his “piss missile” comment.
“There’s nothing I love more than going to work with my man, and the best in the business, @kevburkhardt and the entire @nflonfox crew. I’m blessed to work with the best team in sports. @erinandrews, Tom Rinaldi, @dean.blandino, Richie, Rich and the entire crew that makes it happen EVERY SINGLE WEEK. We love sharing our insight with you, the fans who support the @nfl with more passion than I can ever remember,” the post’s caption read. Brady’s post shared several photos of him on the field in a suit before a game.
“More miss pissles and a few provolones with cheese no doubt coming up this year… yes, I meant miss pissles, I got a call from the FCC 😂😂😂,” he added.
Brady mentioning that he got a call from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates television broadcast communications, suggests that the agency took issue with his live comments.
The FCC restricts obscene, indecent, and profane material. So it’s easy to see why Brady’s comments could have been problematic.
Brady doesn’t seem too concerned about having gotten this phone call, and his sense of humor suggests the call didn’t provide any serious punishments.
But the 49-year-old will need to watch his mouth from here on out.
