Tom Brady's Odd Remark Sparks Debate

Former QB's Remark Leaves Fans Scratching Heads

During the Cowboys-Chicago Bears game on Sunday, Sept. 21, Tom Brady made a comment that left many people puzzled. The former quarterback, now working as an analyst for Fox Sports, made a remark about helmets and dogs that quickly went viral.

The Controversial Comment

Brady's comment was:

"Those helmets can be . . . it’s like the dog at home. Kick the dog, throw the helmet, whatever it takes."

While his broadcast partner Kevin Burkhardt didn't react, the remark sparked a firestorm on social media. Some fans called it "disgraceful" and accused Brady of encouraging animal abuse. Others simply found it a weird thing to say.

Not the First Time

This isn't the first time Brady has faced criticism since joining Fox Sports. His debut on the network in September 2024 was also met with some backlash.

Brady's Next Move

Despite the controversy, Brady is far from slowing down. Just last week, he announced he's coming out of retirement—sort of. He's joining a global flag football event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, set for March 21, 2026.

The event will feature some big names in football, including:

• Rob Gronkowski
• Odell Beckham Jr.
• Tyreek Hill

It's a round-robin tournament with the top two teams moving on to the championship.

Conclusion

While Brady's comment might have ruffled some feathers, he's clearly not slowing down anytime soon.
