Tom Brady draws social media criticism during NFL broadcast

During a Fox broadcast of the game between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles, commentator Tom Brady drew mixed reactions from viewers due to several remarks.

Brady reminisced about the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl LI victory, specifically discussing the segmented nature of the team’s playsheet. This prompted some social media users to criticize the commentary as repetitive or a conflict of interest.

Additionally, Brady faced backlash after making a metaphorical comment regarding the shape of the Earth while describing a player running through defenders. While the phrase was intended to describe the firm ground under a player's feet, some fans on social media interpreted the remark through the lens of conspiracy theories, leading to further online mockery.
