Josh Allen seems unconcerned by Tom Brady’s use of an offensive phrase while praising his early NFL play. Allen understands that the great quarterback’s comments about the Buffalo Bills star were not intended as an insult. Josh Allen was not offended when Tom Brady used an insulting phrase to describe his early NFL play. Despite raising eyebrows with his comments on the Buffalo Bills player, Allen is said to understand that the famous quarterback intended no offense.
While commenting on the Bills’ commanding victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Brady praised Allen’s development, particularly in decision-making. However, he used an ableist slur live on air when referring to Allen’s rookie playing style, commenting: “Sometimes he plays like a spaz, like a grade-schooler on a sugar high.”
The choice of words elicited a gasp from NFL fans, with many stating Brady was unaware of how derogatory the word could be interpreted. According to the Daily Mail, Allen did not take offense by Brady’s televised opinion.
According to an individual close to Allen, Josh is aware of the comment and is unconcerned about it. He gets along well with Tom, and they don’t have a bad relationship. Josh would shake Tom’s hand right now if they were in the same room. It’s all good.
Allen and Brady have a solid friendship, having fought each other on the field several times and even playing in a charity golf game with Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.
Brady’s commentary abilities have been questioned several times during his first year as a commentator, following his signing a 10-year contract with FOX Sports worth $375 million (£280 million), in which he calls one game per week during the regular season and will be the color commentator for this year’s Super Bowl.
Brady, 47, is the biggest earner in the sports media industry, having retired from playing after the 2022 season – a career that confirmed him as the indisputable greatest of all time.
Allen’s Bills defeated the Seahawks in Seattle, boosting their record to 6-2 and dominating the AFC East; they are currently four games clear of their nearest competitors.
