Tom Brady shocks NFL viewers with bizarre pronunciation of basic football phrase during Vikings-Packers game
Share:
Tom Brady has been ridiculed by Fox viewers for his bizarre pronunciation of the word 'sacks'. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was on commentary duty for the Minnesota Vikings' huge 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon. Brady is in his first season as Fox's top football color commentator, signing a lucrative 10-year, $375million contract back in 2022, which was only enacted this season.

Paired with Kevin Burkhardt, Brady typically gets one of the biggest NFL games every week. But his performances have divided viewers all season and Sunday was no different. After watching standout Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold get sacked on one play, Brady offered a dissection of how it happened.

But during his explanation the 47-year-old stunned viewers with his pronunciation of 'sacks', saying what sounded like 'socks' instead.

'Cali + Boston accent got him', read one fan. Another commented: 'I honestly can't take it with Brady. The odd pausing and bizarre stuff like this make the broadcasts jarring.'. 'Idk (I don't know) is that what happens when you live in California/Boston/Tampa,' posted a third.
One viewer simply posted: 'Spent too much time in Boston'. It was not the only point of contention in Brady's performance in the booth on Sunday, either. Earlier on, his mind went completely blank when trying to present a key figure to build up the Vikings-Packers matchup.
