Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady apologized at a press conference Thursday for comparing an NFL football season to military deployment.
“Before we start, can I say one thing?” Brady said. “Earlier this week I made a statement about playing football and the military and it was a very poor choice of words. I just want to express that to any sentiments out there that people may have taken it in a certain way, so I apologize.”
The comments came during an appearance on the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray.
“I almost look at a football season like you’re going away on deployment,” Brady said last week.
