Rattled Tom Brady caught in foul-mouthed tirade over rival fans' taunting: 'Suck on that!'
Tom Brady, comfortably in his role as an owner of English football team Birmingham City, was recently rattled and caught in a foul-mouthed tirade over rival fans' taunting of him. As pictured in the upcoming docuseries 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues', Brady retorted against comments from fans of Peterborough United, while the sides were in League One together last season, the third tier of England's football pyramid. Brady's side and Peterborough played three times last season, with a ride away from the April 13 clash seeming to be where the NFL legend made the comments due to a shot of Wembley Stadium preceding them. What exactly fans from 'The Posh' said are not clear after a 2-0 win over Birmingham, securing a cup trophy. In league play, Birmingham won both matchups over its rival last season as part of its promotion to The Championship. It may have been a bit of sour grapes for Brady, knowing his team was denied the trifecta of wins. 'Yeah b***hes, enjoy this s***ty League One for the rest of your f***ing life, you little b***h, suck on that!' Brady unleashed. Peterborough United fully rattled Tom Brady 😭😭😭 ''Yeah bitches, enjoy this shitty League One for the rest of your fucking life, you little bitch'' — The 44 ⚽️ (@The_Forty_Four) August 1, 2025 Brady has spent plenty of time balancing his responsibilities stateside, his personal life, and his time with Birmingham City. The soon-to-be-NFL Hall of Famer will begin his second season as Fox's top NFL color commentator, after calling his first Super Bowl in February. As part of a recent interview with 'Men in Blazers', Brady revealed another moment where he was trash-talked, asking sporting legend David Beckham for clarification as to what the fans said. 'Look, I've been called so many things over a long period of time. And when they're calling you names, usually that's a good thing because they're paying attention to who you are,' Brady said. 'So I've never minded any of the insults come my way. I respected, and the reality is, when I feel that there is that motivating factor in me that allows me to dig a little deeper within myself to kick their a**.' In addition to Brady's role with Birmingham, he is also a minority owner of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. Brady said there are 'subtle differences' in working in both organizations but hard work from leadership is consistent between the Blues and the Raiders. Birmingham City is now one level above where it competed against Peterborough and a step below the Premier League, where the Blues have not played since 2011. 'In the championship, the level of competition is very tough,' Brady added. 'These guys are world class players. They bring it every single day. And and being in the Championship two years ago. 'I know how talented these teams are in the kind of challenges that we're going to face this year. So I'm excited to see how this club meets the challenges.' 'I think the goal is to build on what we did last season, even knowing that last season was what it was. But I think we set a new standard and expectation for how we should perform. So there is the competition's tougher, we're in the championship, the games are harder, the players are better and we need to step up in every area.' 'It's going to be a challenge. I think we're building our conditioning for our competitive stamina. but again, the process is for what we accomplished last year will be very much the same. You're right.' 'We brought in some new players. that's always very important. At the same time, those players have to get up to speed very quickly with how (manager) Chris (Davies) wants to play the games in these matches.'

Tom Brady's 'f***ing stupid' outburst over David Beckham is caught on camera
Tom Brady showcased his American Football mindset in the Championship last season when he sought to carry out a kind gesture ahead of David Beckham's visit to Birmingham City Tom Brady was left fuming with what he deemed to be a 'f***ing stupid' opinion from a Birmingham City aide during David Beckham 's visit to St Andrew's last season. Birmingham, where NFL legend Brady is a minority owner, came up against Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney -owned Wrexham in what was dubbed the 'Hollywood Derby' in League One. Brady, having bought a minority stake in the Blues in 2023, jetted to the UK to watch the clash last September. The seven-time Super Bowl winner invited his good friend and English football icon Beckham to watch it alongside him at the stadium. Birmingham clinched a 3–1 win over Wrexham in that fixture, which featured prominently on the new fly-on-the-wall Amazon Prime Video documentary titled 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues'. The five-episode docuseries is modelled after Reynolds and McElhenney's own highly successful 'Welcome to Wrexham' on Disney+. During the second of those episodes, Brady is seen on camera ahead of playing host to Beckham. Before the Wrexham game, Brady suggests to co-owner Tom Wagner that they should organise a gift bag with a club sweater, hoodie, scarf and a hat for the former England captain. But an aide to Wagner says that the move would be considered a faux pas given Beckham's lack of affiliation with Birmingham, having only played for Manchester United during his time in England. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback then snaps back with: 'That's f***ing stupid! Give him a gift bag to take home! It's a sweet thing. He doesn't have to wear it.' At one point, Brady in true American fashion, also says: 'Wrexham, we're coming for your a**,' before Beckham explains a chorus of Birmingham City chants aimed at Wrexham by informing him: 'Your fans are singing about sheep s****ers. That's what they say about Welsh people!' Brady also meets Wrexham co-owner McElhenney, making the odd decision to present him with a personalised Blues shirt bearing No. 12 and 'McElhenney' on the back. Upon receiving it, the 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' star jokes: 'What am I supposed to do with that?' Both Birmingham and Wrexham went on to secure automatic promotion to the Championship last season. The Blues won the title with an EFL record of 111 points. Meanwhile, Wrexham finished second on 92 points, becoming the first team in EFL history to earn three successive promotions. Their newly-formed rivalry will be on display again this season when they face each other in the Championship, having both spent big in the summer transfer window.
