Black Hawk Down Veteran Trolls Tom Brady Over His Comment ‘NFL Is Like Military Deployment’

Tom Brady probably wishes he could take that comment back.

In his 23rd year in the league, Tom Brady definitely understands what is necessary in order to win. Clearly Tom has zero military experience, but that didn’t stop him from drawing a comparison to the military while speaking on his Let’s Go! podcast with Jim Gray. The Buccaneers quarterback spoke with Nets star Kevin Durant on the latest episode of the podcast and talked about what it’s like balancing work and life.

Brady offered a comparison of what NFL like can be like, according to him it’s similar to “military deployment.”

“I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment in the military, and it’s like, ‘man, here I go again,’” Brady said. “There’s only one way to do it. … The reality is you can really only be authentic to yourself, right? Whenever you may say, ‘Oh man, I want to, you know, make sure I spend a little more time doing this.’ When it comes down to it, your competitiveness takes over and as much as you want to have this playful balance with the work balance, you’re going to end up doing exactly what you’ve always done, which is why you are who you are. You’re going to go, ‘how the [expletive] do I get it done?’ You know, ‘what do I got to do to get it done?’”

Brad Thomas, an Army veteran who fought in Black Hawk Down, is trolling Tom over his comments.

The Black Hawk Down veteran posted a photoshopped picture that showed the Tampa Bay QB alongside him while he was serving in Iraq. “Iraq 2003 Colorized” he captioned it.

Reports have indicated Tom’s marriage to Gisele Bündchen is likely “done” after he decided to unretire this offseason and return for a 23rd NFL campaign.

His off-the-field issues has the Buccaneers off to a 3-3 start.

Tom is having a tough year so far.
