Tom Brady Scolded By Network Media Watchdog
January 30th, 2023
Taken to task by news network talking head.
Joe has often typed that you know you have an international superstar celebrity quarterback when he regularly regular appears on the nightly entertainment shows, when Instagram models from Europe by way of South Beach pant for his attention by wearing his jersey (and little else) at Bucs games, and when foreign newspapers plaster his likeness on the front page of their sports sections, pushing sacred kickball coverage to Page 3.
(Newspapers? You remember those environmental-unfriendly, 20th-century things, don’t you?)
Well, here’s another example. Tom Brady made one of those Sunday morning news network shows yesterday. No, really.
On shows that often focus on Washington-insider politics, Brady made an appearance of sorts.
Former Washington Post columnist and CNN media watchdog Howard Kurtz has been hosting a show on FOX News where he shines a spotlight on media coverage and news. There, Kurtz brought up Brady and how Brady (rehearsed? staged) a responded to Jim Gray two weeks ago. Brady snapped (?) at Gray for asking Brady for insight into his future.
Brady used a four-letter word that rhymes with “puck” twice. This rubbed Kurtz the wrong way and he wagged a finger at Brady for what Kurtz thought was an unprofessional display by Mr. Seven Rings.
“Look, I get that Brady, who retired and then soon unretired after last season, hasn’t made up his mind,” Kurtz began. “But he had no right to go off on Jim Gray who asked the question in his genuine manner.
“And if Gray hadn’t asked the question, he would have been ducking his responsibility.”
Joe cannot disagree with Kurtz here but it’s common for Brady to use foul language on the weekly podcast, which is co-hosted by Gray.
And let’s be real, Brady and his sponsors did not hire Gray to be Mike Wallace or Sam Donaldson or even Norah O’Donnell. Gray’s task two steps above stooge.
Gray is downright maudlin on that podcast to the point Joe struggles to listen without walking into a bathroom and puking all over the toilet.
If Brady’s podcast was a news magazine format, then yeah, Kurtz would be right on. Instead, that show has all the hard-hitting journalism of “Entertainment Tonight.”

The most limp wristed media snowflake yet. Too bad he never met John McKay.

Jeez, it’s a podcast not broadcast journalism. They injected entertainment into it. Have a cow, man!

Everyone in America, outside of the media personalities, sympathized with TB12.
The media swarms this guy 24×7. It’s exhausting.

I heard it was staged anyway

I know, they must’ve taken a break from their usual faux-outrage culture war propaganda.

Corporate media is the enemy of the American people.
Everyone who still gets their news from Fox/CNN/MSNBC are the problem
I’m almost certain that was scripted between Brady and Gray. If Fox needs to cry about inappropriate language on Brady’s podcast, go listen to the one with Bill Burr Tracey Morgan and Adam Sandler

Did you really use maudlin? Ha, remember your audience.

sasquash I was referring more to all the chaos that went on around the country last week, not their often correct narrative.
January 30th, 2023 at 12:46 pm
@NEFan – plenty to report on… it just isn’t stuff they (Fox) want to report on… so they simply ignore it.
January 30th, 2023 at 1:45 pm
Yeah, let’s all pretend we have never said a single curse word in our lives. Big deal. Move on from the daily Brady shat, until Tom makes his decision all the rest is only assumed information.

Well NEFan. I thought we were buds, but I guess I have officially lost all respect for you if you are a FoxNews groupie… C’est la vie

🤣🤣🤣 A broken clock is correct twice a day,
I guess it’s a great narrative if you hate minorities, gay people, poor people, immigrants, science, reason, journalism, the environment, education… and you’re into guns, gawd, and white man’s resentment. Then it’s an awesome narrative and Tucker Carlson is your hero.

Joes When your headline calls CNN a media watchdog I really have to question your integrity and your sanity.

You are apparently the kind of clown that believes FuxNooz is real. #Sad

F-bombs staged? Jock media feed on Brady speculation.
Brady wants fans to know he feels the same way. Back off.
