Potty Mouth! NFL Fans Upset Over Tom Brady On Screen Cursing During Patriots-Dolphins Broadcast

Get ready to laugh. There were apparently people - plural! Three of them! - that complained to the FCC after Sunday's NFL broadcast of the Patriots vs. Dolphins showed Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady cursing on-screen.

At this point, perhaps it should be pointed out that people who watch NFL football enjoy watching grown supermen hit each other for hours on end but apparently, there are some football fans who just can't take a little cussin'.

God forbid Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., 3-time Super Bowl Champion and, let's be honest, Mr. American Football, gets a little salty sometimes. He only has handfuls of 300-pound men galloping at full speed trying to hit him at all times, an entire country watching and the hopes and dreams of a full region on his shoulders. No pressure. He should really be more relaxed. He should really contain his emotions.

If poor little Jimmy can't handle seeing Brady let out some steam after failure, it may be tough for Jimmy to ever cope with any himself. And if Jimmy's mom wants him watching something a little more appropriate, there's always the Disney Channel.

The broadcast did not air the audio of Brady's cursing, according to the Smoking Gun. The complaints came as a result of lip-reading.

Here's the full transcript of one, courtesy of Deadspin. Note, we've decided to publish this unedited, to highlight the complainer's several egregious grammar and spelling mistakes. Because some would say that's just as offensive.

"Throughout the broadcast, the camera repeatedly cut to New England Patirot's quarterback, Tom Brady, when he was visibly upset and saying F***. At 1:53 left in the 1^st quarter, the announcers even called attention to it by prefacing the clip they showed with, "Brady's reaction after failing to pick up a fist down on that series," and then showed a clip of him saying F*** on the sidelines. They clearly knew what he was saying it and so did my 10 year old son. Other instances with other players and coaches occurred in the broadcast, but none were as blatant. Just because there was no sound, it was clear enough to everyone. It was almost as if the announcers got away with it , because - they didn't actually say it. Very umprofessional. "
