- During Fox’s broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys’ win over the Washington Commanders, Brady used the crude phrase to describe Dak Prescott’s sideline 35-yard completion and the clip quickly spread online.
- Brady said he was embarrassed, apologized on the record in a #AskTom segment, and asked that broadcasters bleep the phrase.
- He offered a technical explanation of the term, describing ground-force, body torque and a relaxed arm as the mechanics behind that kind of throw.
- Brady softened the apology with a joke about a family swear jar and there have been no public reports of disciplinary action or FCC enforcement connected to the remark.
- The episode highlights how remarks from former star players-turned-broadcasters can draw rapid public scrutiny while also noting Brady used the segment for routine analysis, including praise for the Chiefs’ running game and Kenneth Walker’s early performance.
