- One of
Tom Brady 's signature moves during his career was to yell, "Let's fucking go!" - Brady explained why he loves the word, noting that no other word expresses how he feels.
Tom Brady took some heat earlier in his career for getting caught on camera shouting "Fuck!" after making a mistake or repeatedly yelling, "Let's fucking go!"
In 2014, the Boston Globe wrote an article criticizing him for it. Later that season, Brady was asked during an interview on WEEI about his love of the F-word.
"There's nothing that quite expresses the way I feel like that word," he said when asked if he wanted to apologize for his foul language.
That is one of the simplest, most accurate defenses of the
Brady refused to apologize and even blamed the TV networks for showing it so much.
Here's the full exchange:
Brady: I wish I did have a better mouth out there at times. But there's nothing that quite expresses the way I feel like that word.
WEEI: It is a great word.
Brady: It is, it is, especially in the heat of the moment.
WEEI: You're not allowed to say it at home, are you?
Brady: No, I don't say it at home, of course not. It's pretty well-filtered at the house. Blame CBS and NBC for putting it on TV, don't blame me.
He added: "We're not choirboys, I know that. You bring us up to a certain level of intensity to the game. Your job is to go out there and physically, emotionally, mentally dominate the g me. You don't do that at church on Sun ay. You've got to go to the football field for that."
Later in Brady's career, he learned not only to deflect the criticism but also embraced his love of "Let's fucking go!" by often captioning his social media posts with "LFG."

Remember, people. It's just a word, made of letters and sounds, like any other word.
