Overview
- The gaffe occurred during a Fox NFL Sunday trivia segment that aired Sunday when Brady incorrectly named Drew Brees and immediately said “oh s***” before Peyton Manning was identified as the correct answer.
- This was the second time this season Brady used that expletive on a Fox broadcast, the earlier instance coming in Week 2 when he reacted to Jayden Daniels’ dislocated elbow and later apologized.
- On-air hosts reacted with laughter and light teasing, Curt Menefee told Brady “we let you get away with one,” and Fox has not issued a public statement about the incident.
- News coverage notes that broadcast indecency rules bar profane language between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., so the remark could trigger an FCC review, though the commission has not announced any enforcement action.
- The short clip spread widely on social media, sharpening scrutiny of Brady’s transition to a high-profile TV role, highlighting common live-broadcast technical pitfalls, and raising questions about reputational and regulatory risks.
