Tom Brady leaves NFL fans baffled on commentary of | NFL News

Tom Brady’s distinctive take on the phrase ‘sack’ has left fans of FOX NFL Sunday scratching their heads, because the legendary quarterback’s east and west coast accents seem to have blended into one. The former Patriots star was offering commentary during the NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers.

Despite Sam Darnold’s Vikings clinching a nail-biting 27-25 victory to secure the highest playoff seed, it was Brady’s pronunciation of ‘sack’ that stole the highlight. Discussing Darnold’s tendency to be tackled within the pocket, Brady noticed: “They’ve done such a good job in protection today.

“Sam could have a little sense of consolation, [but] in some unspecified time in the future, you’ve got gotta get rid of the ball. He’s held onto the ball fairly a bit this season, and he is taken a lot of sacks. Almost 46 sacks this season alone.”

While Brady’s analysis was spot-on, his pronunciation sounded more like ‘stuck’ or even ‘sock’, prompting fans to speculate on social media about the influence of his California roots and New England tenure on his accent.

Comments ranged from “Bro’s Boston accent clicked in actual fast” to “Cali and Boston accent bought him,” with another noting his diverse accent history: “Born in CA, went to high school in MI, lived in MA. Basically three low key bizarre accents rolled into one.”

Brady turned heads during the FOX broadcast, not just for his commentary skills but also for a momentary lapse when he forgot that the Vikings had already triumphed over the Packers earlier in the season. Brady remarked: “They’ve bought 4 losses this yr, Green Bay does.

“Two of them to the Lions, they’re a good team. The Eagles, they lost to them, they’re a good team. And they lost to the, uh … who’d they lose to the other one? Anyway…”

This slip-up was significantly vital because it pertained to the NFC North match-up, with the Vikings’ victory paving the way in which for a essential showdown with the Detroit Lions subsequent week.

On the flip facet, the Packers’ defeat has relegated them to the seventh seed within the playoff race, making their divisional rival sport in opposition to the Bears even more consequential.
