“You keep threatening me, I'm gonna notify the police” – When Tom Brady got into it with Peter Griffin
Tom Brady has made many appearances on television shows throughout his long-running NFL career. As he quickly became a household name, the quarterback suddenly became immersed in all forms of pop culture.
One of those appearances saw him in the midst of a feud with one of television's longest-running animated sitcoms, "Family Guy." The episode featuring Tom Brady aired on January 29, 2006.
In this particular scene, main character Peter Griffin calls the quarterback after he tells him that he couldn't play football with him. Griffin informed the quarterback that he has made his own team and that he wants to play against the New England Patriots. The quarterback didn't know who was on the phone at first and told Griffin that he was going to call the police on him for harassment.
Brady: "Hello?"
Peter: "Hey Brady, you're dead."
B: "Listen Leno, you keep callin' here and threatening me, I'm gonna notify the police."
P: "Leno? No, no, this is Peter Griffin. I'm calling to challenge you to a grudge match between the Patriots and the London Sillinannies."
B: "Huh. Well Griffin, if wanna embarrass yourself, be my guest."
P: "Good. Whaddya say, England, two weeks from now?"
B: "See you there."
The quarterback initially thought that Jay Leno was on the phone, which was another hilarious moment for viewers. Brady agreed that he would play against Griffin's team and that he would likely embarrass himself.
What did QB Tom Brady say after Wild Card loss?
After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday (January 16) night, the seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback spoke to reporters briefly.
When asked about his future not only with the team but playing, he was non-committal. He simply said that he was going to take the offseason one day at a time:
“I’m going to go home and get a good night’s sleep as good as I can tonight. It’s just been a lot of focus on this game so, it’s just going to be one day at a time, truly.”
He went on to say that he and the team have put a lot of focus on the Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys and now it is time to switch focus. He also mentioned that he cherished the three seasons that he spent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which had fans wondering if that was a sign of his impending 'goodbye' to the team.
As he begins to ponder his next move and whether he will suit up once again for an age 46 season, fans will be glued to any and all information they can get about the quarterback's future.
