Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is getting an earful from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for his controversial comments while calling Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys game.
The comments came after Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens dropped a pass, resulting in frustration and throwing the helmet. Seeing this, Brady said the buckets are “like dogs at home.”
“Kick the dog, throw the helmet. Whatever it takes,” Brady said.
WHAT😭

PETA didn’t like Brady’s comment, as they told TMZ that TB12 is known to be kind to animals.
“So we were as confused as everyone else by his comment about ‘kicking the dog at home,'” PETA said.
PETA said Brady should be careful with his choice of words, as millions of people hear and follow him.
“PETA encourages Brady to remember that millions of people listen to him that the language we use can encourage kindness or violence towards animals, and that we should never normalize taking our frustration out on a beloved companion,” the non-profit organization said.
Tom Brady Denies Receiving $75 Million to Play Flag Football in Saudi Arabia
This month, Tom Brady announced that he will return to the football field to play in a flag football event in Saudi Arabia (Fanatics Flag Football Classic).
On “Wake Up Barstool,” Dave Portnoy claimed that Brady would be paid $75 million. Portnoy also called Brady a “money wh*re” during his appearance on “The Unnamed Show” last week, saying:
“Having said that, I don’t know that there’s anyone who would turn down that much money for one second.”
However, since then, TB12 has hit back at Portnoy, saying:
“who cares about facts right?”
Brady straight away called out Portnoy:
“Are we just picking numbers out of a hat and reporting them? While we’re breaking news… Elvis is doing the halftime show, and Babe Ruth is gonna sign some autographs for fans. Also, I heard Dave prefers floppy pizza.”
After the former New England Patriots quarterback clapped back at Portnoy, the Barstool Sports founder doubled down on his claim, saying, “That’s the number I was told,” before adding that he would like to hear from the former quarterback on his show.
