Tom Brady had some accidentally obscene language slipups during the Week 2 game between the Cowboys and the Commanders.
The legendary NFL quarterback turned FOX announcer accidentally swore upon seeing replay of Jayden Daniels’ gruesome elbow injury at the end of the first half. He later apologized.
“Oh (expletive),” he could be heard saying on the broadcast.
“Excuse me. I was not expecting to see that.”

Brady could be hit with an FCC violation for his language, though it doesn’t sound like FOX is bothered.
Rob Gronkowski doesn’t seem bothered, either.
Brady’s former NFL teammate turned FOX coworker made it clear that he believes that natural language is what fans want to hear.
Gronk defends Brady’s choice of words
Gronkowski, speaking to Front Office Sports this week, made it clear that he had Brady’s back.
“I mean, I loved it,” Gronkowski said. “It’s a natural reaction, you know, and that’s what the fans want. I’d rather have him do that instead of being fabricated. Fans don’t want fabrication. They want real. They want natural. And that was real and natural out of Tom.”
Brady, meanwhile, later apologized for his language during a social media segment on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“That swear jar is getting way too full in my house. My kids are getting way too happy with me filling up that jar,” Brady said. “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.”
