Tom Brady has faced social media criticism regarding his commentary during live FOX Sports NFL broadcasts.

In mid-September, viewers reacted negatively to remarks made during a game between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles. Criticism focused on repetitive commentary regarding his former team, the New England Patriots, and a metaphorical comment about the shape of the Earth that some social media users interpreted through the lens of conspiracy theories.

By late September, further backlash occurred during a broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game after Brady used profanity. He used an expletive following an injury to Jayden Daniels and described a pass as a ‘piss missile.’ While some fans labeled the language ‘disgusting,’ former teammate Julian Edelman defended Brady, stating the unfiltered commentary showed he is ‘human’ and provided entertainment.
