Tom Brady has apologized for a \u201cvery poor choice of words\u201d after he compared playing in the NFL to a military deployment.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEarlier this week, I made a statement about playing football and the military and it was a very poor choice of words,\u201d Brady told reporters during a regularly scheduled press conference on Thursday.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAnd I just want to express that to any sentiments out there, that people may have taken it in a certain way, so I apologize.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have a tremendous amount of gratitude for everyone who served and, in the end, we play a game and the military is defending our country is two very different things and I shouldn’t have made the comparison.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

Brady made the comments about the military on Monday while speaking with co-host Jim Gray and NBA superstar Kevin Durant on his \u201cLet’s Go!\u201d podcast about the mindset required by top athletes.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Discussing the balance between his job and his life, the seven-time Super Bowl winner said: \u201cI almost look at a football season like I’m going away on deployment for the military. And it’s like: ‘Man, here I go again.’\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

At the press conference, Brady also fielded questions about his and his team’s form following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ turbulent start to the season.\n <\/p>\n

\n

The Bucs’ 20-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday moved their record to 3-3 on the season.\n <\/p>\n

\n

The rocky start, combined with Brady’s offseason retirement, reported marital issues and an 11-day leave of absence during preseason training camp \u201cto deal with personal things,\u201d have raised doubts about the quarterback’s long-term commitment to playing.\n <\/p>\n

\n

When asked about completing this NFL season, Brady joked: \u201cThat’s really why I’m here \u2013 I’m here to announce finally, you guys pushed me to the brink.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNo, I think a lot of it for me is just us going out there to, you know\u2026\u201d he continued more seriously. \u201cI love the sport, I love the teammates, and I wanna go do a great job for this team like I always have, so no retirement in my future.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
