Alongside partnerKevin Burkhardt, Brady, 47, delivered commentary for the Green Bay Packers-Detroit Lions game under gray skies at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin on Sunday, Nov. 3. The broadcast kicked off with the pair discussing the windy, rainy weather, which created slippery conditions on the field.

“This isn’t pretty weather football,” Brady declared. But as for the Packers-Lions matchup, he said he was “fired up about this one.”

The Lions ended up handily winning the game, with a score of 24-24.

While Brady did not offer further context about his social media musings, he did speak out about  facing personal challenges in the wake of his divorce two years ago.

On an episode of his Sirius XM showLet’s Go!, the former signal-caller once discussed “giving all you can to the team” while dealing with personal challenges.

Brady said at the time that having his divorce “play out in front of a lot of people” presented another level of difficulty: “We all have our unique challenges in life. We’re all humans. We do the best we could do.”
