Tom Brady’s 'Sorry Not Sorry' Quip to Young Fan Turns Heads on FOX’s Thanksgiving Show

The viral line underscored a more assured second season for FOX’s $375 million hire as the NFL eased access limits tied to his Raiders stake.

Overview

  • During FOX NFL Sunday outside Ford Field, Curt Menefee replayed Brady’s Week 2 zip to a child, prompting Brady’s on-air response, “Sorry not sorry, catch the damn ball.”
  • Brady then threw noticeably softer passes to two young Lions fans, who made clean catches as the crew laughed and the segment circulated widely on social media.
  • Earlier this week on FOX’s The OT, Menefee joked that Brady had to work Thanksgiving, and Brady played along with a surprised “What?” before sharing a laugh with the desk.
  • On the set, Brady teased Rob Gronkowski’s and Michael Strahan’s earmuffs before Strahan ribbed him for hiding hand warmers, extending the light back-and-forth.
  • Brady worked the Packers–Lions broadcast with Kevin Burkhardt after pregame duties, continuing a season marked by reported improvement and partially rolled-back NFL restrictions related to his Raiders ownership.
