Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, can’t be perfect all the time.
Brady and Kevin Burkhardt called the Dallas Cowboys’ 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders for Fox last Sunday. Just before halftime, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow.
Brady reacted to the injury by saying, “Oh, sh*t.” A split second later, he remembered he was on live television and said, “Excuse me. I was not expecting to see that.”
“Oh, shit.”

In the fourth quarter, Brady excitedly called a bomb from Dak Prescott to CeeDee Lamb an “absolute piss missile.”
Brady addressed his foul language on his latest “#AskTom” episode for NFL on FOX.

First, Brady went into QB mode to formally define “a piss missile” and unpacked the mechanics of how he “was trying to throw piss missiles” during his seven-time Super Bowl-winning playing career.
“I fully expect you to beep out those ‘piss missiles,’ okay?” Brady said. “You can’t say that, because that swear jar is getting way too full in my house. My kids are getting way too happy with me filling up that jar.”
“I’m actually kind of embarrassed,” Brady added. “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.”

Brady didn’t directly address his “oh sh*t” moment, but one can assume his kids were quick to demand a contribution to the swear jar after that one.
Brady and Burkhardt are assigned to the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Buffalo at 1 p.m. ET this Sunday. With the arm talents of Josh Allen and Justin Herbert on display, Brady’s legendary willpower will be put to the ultimate test.
