‘I’m gonna fix that’- Tom Brady breaks apology promise with second live-TV slip-up

Photo by Timothy T Ludwig/Getty ImagesTom Brady has found himself in trouble again after appearing to swear during FOX’s NFL Sunday pregame show, despite previously apologising for his language and promising to clean it up.The seven-time Super Bowl champion made the slip during a trivia segment about career passing records, reacting after incorrectly answering a question alongside Drew Brees and the studio crew.Brady is still adjusting to life as a broadcaster after 23 seasons in the NFL, with his latest mistake bringing renewed attention to his on-air language.Tom Brady makes another slip after promising to clean up his languageDuring the segment, Brady was asked about quarterbacks with the most career games recording at least 300 passing yards. Brees topped the list with 123, followed by Brady with 113 and Peyton Manning with 93.Brady mistakenly named Brees when asked who ranked third, then blurted out: “Oh S***!”The reaction drew laughter from the FOX studio, but it also marked another slip for the former quarterback after he had already addressed his language earlier in the season.During FOX’s coverage of the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Washington Commanders in Week 2, Brady reacted to a replay of Jayden Daniels dislocating his left elbow.“ Oh S****,” Brady said before adding: “Excuse me. I was not expecting to see that.”He also used another profane expression while analysing a 35-yard completion from Dak Prescott to CeeDee Lamb during the same game.Brady later addressed the incidents in his #AskTom segment for NFL on FOX, admitting that his language had crossed a line.“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. I’m gonna fix that. Sorry. I apologize,” he said.His latest slip has also raised questions about the rules governing profanity on broadcast television.Federal restrictions apply to obscene, indecent and profane content, particularly during daytime hours, although not every swear word automatically constitutes a violation.There is no confirmed investigation or penalty involving FOX over Brady’s latest remark.Brady has previously made similar slips during broadcasts, including an apparent interrupted expletive while discussing Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in 2025. His latest mistake suggests that keeping his language in check remains a challenge as he continues his broadcasting career.Read more:Patrick Mahomes admits Chiefs face an AFC West ‘dogfight’ after back-to-back lossesNew York Giants star mocks Dallas Cowboys’ dramatic loss, ‘this has been…’What Jerry Jones was heard telling Dallas Cowboys fans before Cardinals loss will make him even more angry now
