Behind Tom Brady’s Hollywood smile, the NFL legend is as ruthless as any other athlete.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion is widely considered the greatest football player of all time, possessing the A-list good looks and charisma to befit such legendary status.
However, the now-retired former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers player was more than happy to take off his mask during the win.
One such incident occurred against the Green Bay Packers in 2014, when Brady clashed with rival quarterback Aaron Rodgers as the two were vying for the title of the league’s best player .
That day, Rodgers emerged victorious in a fiery clash between two Super Bowl contenders.
But even without two touchdowns, Rodgers fell behind for the first time late in the game, costing Brady the game.
With the game almost over, the camera cuts to the quarterback, who can clearly be seen yelling “f***” three times, although the sound doesn’t betray his obvious disappointment.
Some viewers even complained to the Federal Communications Commission about the impact on young children’s viewing.
Brady won’t apologize, though. “I sometimes wish I had a better mouth, but nothing can quite express how I feel about that word.
“Yeah, it’s (a great word), especially in the heat of the moment…blame CBS and NBC for putting this on TV.
“Don’t blame me. We’re not choir boys and I know that. You bring us to a certain intensity in the game and your job is to go out there and dominate the game physically, emotionally, mentally.
“You can’t do that in church on Sunday. “You have to go to the football field to do that. “
Brady wasn’t the only one who felt like he was overreacting, as New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan sarcastically commented on the storm a few weeks later as the Jets were about to take on the Patriots and prepare to do their homework. .
“Honestly, I couldn’t watch the whole game. The language I saw offended me,” Ryan joked.
“I was like, ‘Wow.’ I was thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, the fine must be big because I think there’s one, two, three, four, five of these bad kids.’”
