    BTW - those radio guys keep it very clean. I don't recall a harsh cuss word, or even say a mild one such as "dam" that they ever uttered.

    When Brady’s in the booth his competitive brain is still on the field. I think he’s the most genuine guy they have to explain football. You guys telling me that foul language isn’t a part of the game? Everyone is cussing!!! 🤬 LMAO 🤣

    of course foul language is used by players during the game.

    foul language should not be used by professional broadcasters who are commentating on the game. it shows a real lack of self control.

    You may be missing the point, but that doesn't surprise me. Brady's brain is still on the field. He can't help himself. He's being real. He gets excited when football stuff happens on a football field. He desperately would rather be in a huddle than a tailored suit. So he slipped a cuss word. Big deal.

    Just to elaborate, I really can't stand him for the most part. But, at least he's being real when he discusses the game. I wish more guys would slip. It's not as if the FCC is hawking over football announcers when they have better sh!t to do.

    When an older person requires a scolding I like to throw in an f-bomb just to make them clutch their pearls.

    I am as big of a Brady fan as anyone, but i dont care where his brain is. dont care if he would "desperately" rather be on the field. dont care how excited he gets. he is now a professional broadcaster. it is supremely unprofessional to curse on air. and yes, it is a "big deal"

    if you havent noticed, societal standards are dipping. perhaps nosediving is a better term. there are ways people should act in public or at their jobs that are different from when they are on their own time.

    as far as "being real" well, often "being real" is not the way when in public, doing public type things. when in public at work, you do not have licence to be your "true, authentic self" you are representing the company you work for. Be a grown up and act like one. If Tom is cursing so much in his private life that when he gets a little bit excited one "slips" on-air, perhaps he needs to reevaluate how he acts in private and introduce a bit of decorum into his life.

    Brady (and others) need to get some self control and conduct themselves professionally.

    uh, yeah. of course i watch football games. are the players miked up and broadcast on network television? are the fans miked up and broadcast on network television? if they are, it is certainly edited for content. as it should be.

    do you disagree that there should be standards of decorum for public society? or do you think it should just be a free for all where anything goes and everyone behaves as their "true, authentic self?"

    perhaps you should just live out in black rock city during burning man...

    I prefer to conduct myself as a polite adult when at my job or out in public.

    I think we could elevate this to an all-time high, but it's just a difference of opinion on a Brady slip-up. He cussed. He knew it. I'm sure he felt slightly ashamed. But, we, as a society DO need to loosen up a bit. People are too uptight over little stuff. A cuss word. Sheesh. Get over it. I conduct myself as an adult with manners and behave politely in public. Except if I need to fart in the direction of a nuisance.

    I say loosen up on your own time, in your own private setting.

    remember, often the "little stuff" is the beginning of normalizing previously unacceptable behavior. Stay formal in public and let loose on your own time.

    Jayden Daniels just blew out his elbow again

    it was so gruesome that Tom Brady blurted out an expletive

    .
    “Oh shit,” Brady said while watching the replay before correcting himself. “Excuse me. I was not expecting to see that. … Oh man, [he] tries to brace himself with his left elbow.”​

    I like listening to tom on the broadcasts, but to me, that is inexcusable. I am sure i am in the minority, but that type of language has no place on broadcast television.

    .
    That's because in reality he is not a broadcaster - he is a football player and always will be.

    I just heard that caleb williams is week to week? man, the way he reacted to the injury, i thought someone had shot him in the leg with a .30-06. didnt they actually cart him off the field?

    at any rate, i am glad he will be back soon. as silly as Aaron Rodgers is, when he popped his achilles, i remember him just sitting on the field waiting for the training staff. some people just have different pain tollerances i guess.

    When Rodgers popped his Achilles, he quite likely waited for assistance because he couldn't get up and walk away on his own. When Caleb went down he was in severe pain coupled with the immediate reactive thought of his future as a quarterback being compromised. A hamstring injury is not about pain tolerance, it FRIKKIN HURTS!!!

    Ive completely torn my hamstring running to first base before, theres no reason to act like your career is over and get carted off the field. You limp off the field and it really only hurts if you try and sprint on it. Its not that bad if youre just standing there or walking slowly, its not like he tore it off the bone

    Right now after two games I would switch the Bills and 49’ers until the Bills prove they can play defense. I’m sure that chart is just for fun and not meant to be taken too seriously but if Josh has to win every game for them with no help from the D they’re doomed in the long run.

    You make me laugh. I wonder only if you’ve ever been paid a king’s ransom to play professional sports. The player was emotionally consumed in the moment. Not unusual.

    Kings ransom no. paid yes,, but acting like you just ended your season over a partially torn hammy that will probably be 4 weeks is weak. Players that make more than him have walked off the field with worse injuries than that. No ones saying he should have went back into the game, but giving the thumbs up is what you do when every one is worried you were paralyze. Every ones making fun of him for it and rightfully so

    Beg to differ with you but I watched it on TV and knew he hurt the hamstring immediately. So he’s a drama queen. I can’t argue that much.

    When Rodgers popped his Achilles, he quite likely waited for assistance because he couldn't get up and walk away on his own. When Caleb went down he was in severe pain coupled with the immediate reactive thought of his future as a quarterback being compromised. A hamstring injury is not about pain tolerance, it FRIKKIN HURTS!!!

    Some people just have a different level of intelligence I guess.

    Ive completely torn my hamstring running to first base before, theres no reason to act like your career is over and get carted off the field. You limp off the field and it really only hurts if you try and sprint on it. Its not that bad if youre just standing there or walking slowly, its not like he tore it off the bone

    You make me laugh. I wonder only if you’ve ever been paid a king’s ransom to play professional sports. The player was emotionally consumed in the moment. Not unusual. The team medical staff may have taken all precautions to be certain of not further damaging their franchise savior. So he rode the cart. Meh.

    Kings ransom no. paid yes,, but acting like you just ended your season over a partially torn hammy that will probably be 4 weeks is weak. Players that make more than him have walked off the field with worse injuries than that. No ones saying he should have went back into the game, but giving the thumbs up is what you do when every one is worried you were paralyze. Every ones making fun of him for it and rightfully so

    Who’s everyone? A handful of ignorant sportswriters and anti-fans? Give me a break. The court of public opinion is populated by clowns.

    Not trying to pick sides but what happened to Williams and how it played out is 100% worthy of giving the guy a hard time, it's way more than a handful of sportswriters lol

    I'm a nobody and actually like Williams and root for the Bears to be good but I'm giving Williams 💩 for that covering his face with a towel only to emotionally rip it off and give a thumbs up to the crowd riding off into the stadium thing

    Everyone thought he tore his knee up in a bad way

    I agree. i like Caleb and am rooting for the bears over in the NFC. the reaction he gave was 100% soft though. i would be so embarrased to react like that on national television and then be listed as week to week. i guess he doesnt care about the optics.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    You guys are a tough crowd. I’ve pulled a hamstring several times and saying there’s little or no pain is not really accurate. It’s a really uncomfortable feeling enough so that I would sure call it pain the times it happened to me.
    Now put yourself in his shoes. Second game of the season, the feeling when you feel the pop combined with the sudden realization that you will be missing playing time. What’s wrong with screaming out in pain and or frustration? The dudes a competitor, if he was my QB I would be more upset if he didn’t show any emotion.
