Tom Brady’s comment on his personality during his playing days drew
laughter from his ‘FOX NFL Sunday’ colleagues.

Before the Minnesota Vikings’ clash with the Green Bay Packers, which featured a
marquee matchup between Sam Darnold and Jordan Love, Brady was asked by Curt
Menefee about his time in the league and who the source of levity was in the NFL

legend’s locker room.

Throughout his 23-year career, Brady played with a handful of colorful personalities,
which also included former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
However, there is one name that stood out to the seven-time Super
Bowl champion, which the panelists agreed upon.

“No offense here, but I’m guessing it wasn’t you who was the guy who was
practicing the celebrations and keep the Patriots loose through those championship
years?” Menefee asked Brady, which first elicited a laugh from Michael Strahan. “Tell
us how important it is to have one of those guys to keep everybody loose on the
winning team.”

Upon hearing Menefee’s question, Brady replied: “Curt, you have no idea about my
legendary personality do you?” The rest of the panel quickly burst into laughter
after hearing how Brady responded to Menefee’s question.

“All the pranks I pulled. Listen, I know this: It wasn’t Belichick, it is very important.
We had one guy in our locker room: Robert James Gronkowski. You guys already
know that – you work with him.” Menefee admitted he should have thought of that,
stating: “OK, should’ve figured that one out.”

Gronkowski and Brady had a lengthy career together, spending eight season with in
New England, winning three titles. After the legendary tight end retired, it was
Brady who convinced him to join him in Tampa Bay, winning a championship as a
member of the Buccaneers.

Overall, the duo won four championships together in their 11 seasons alongside
one another. Of note, the two have played in 141 games together, showing how the
two have built a relationship almost as legendary as their play on the field.

That wasn’t the only moment that made waves on social media. As Brady spoke
about Darnold being one of the most-sacked quarterbacks in the league, the
47-year-old’s pronunciation of the word “sack” had fans scratching their heads.
“They’ve done such a good job in protection today,” Brady began. “Sam may have a
little sense of comfort, [but] at some point, you’ve gotta get rid of the ball. He’s held
onto the ball quite a bit this season, and he’s taken a lot of sacks. Almost 46 sacks
this season alone.”

Fans noted that Brady’s way of saying “sack” was because of his two accents melded
together to form one. Brady grew up in California and played almost his entire
career in New England, leading to a very distinct pronunciation of a previously
innocuous word.
