‘I Don’t Think I’ve Ever Been as Confused’: Tom Brady Hilariously Addresses the Time He Messed Up the Downs

Tom Brady offers commentary on not knowing correct downs in loss to Bears.

1. If you follow Tom Brady on Twitter or Instagram, you know that his team has done an excellent job showing the fun side of the quarterback’s personality.

The GOAT’s social media accounts have also shown Brady can mock himself.

On Wednesday, Brady did that on a new outlet: TikTok.

According to the six-time Super Bowl champion, he just learned how to use TikTok’s “green screen” feature, so he decided to voice over a couple of plays. The first was a touchdown pass to Scotty Miller with Brady screaming, "No risk it, no biscuit!"

The second play, though, was Brady’s brain fart at the end of the Bucs' loss last season to the Bears when Brady thought fourth down was third down.

As the play appeared in the background of the TikTok video, Brady popped up and offered commentary.

“You guys remember this one? Fourth quarter, last chance in Chicago. I thought it was the second-to-last chance in Chicago, but apparently not.

"I don’t think I’ve ever been as confused as I am in this moment right here. Look at that face.”

Brady then put his face in his hands as he relived the embarrassment.

2. Anthony Davis played in just 36 of the Lakers' 72 regular-season games. After playing in L.A's first four playoff games against Phoenix, Davis missed Tuesday night's game with a groin strain and the Lakers got blown out, 115–85.

This led to TNT's Charles Barkley's going in on Davis on national television.

“The Lakers can’t win this series. Forget about the championship—they can’t win this series without Street Clothes.”

When Ernie Johnson asked Barkley to explain the comment, Charles said, “I call him Anthony ‘Street Clothes' Davis because he’s always in street clothes.”
