Tom Brady found himself in a familiar situation on Sunday, dropping a curse word during live television for the second time in six weeks. The incident occurred during Fox's "Fox NFL Sunday" pregame show while Brady was participating in a trivia segment with fellow former NFL quarterback Drew Brees.
During a quiz where hosts discussed the NFL players with the most 300-yard passing games, Brady reacted to a question about who held the third-most such games after Brees and himself were named first and second. "Drew Brees! Oh, s--t," Brady exclaimed, realizing he had misspoken.
He immediately recognized his mistake, his expression shifting to one of surprise and regret. The moment elicited laughter from his colleagues on set.
This marks the second instance of Brady accidentally cursing on air. In Week 2, he let out a similar expletive after witnessing an injury to Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. Later, during a broadcast of a Commanders-Cowboys game, he described a pass as an "absolute piss missile."
Following the earlier incident, Brady joked about his "swear jar" at home filling up, even expressing some embarrassment for his on-air language, particularly for viewers at home. "I'm actually kind of embarrassed. There’s a lot of grandmas at home that probably aren’t very happy with my mouth on Fox," he said at the time.
Brady was calling the Vikings-Lions game on Sunday alongside Kevin Burkhardt and is scheduled to cover the Patriots-Packers game in Foxborough next Sunday.
