NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS quarterback Tom Brady has taken some heat this year for getting caught on camera shouting “Fuck” (a lot) after making a mistake.

The Boston Globe wrote an article criticizing him for it, but on the radio station WEEI yesterday, Brady talked about his love of the F-word.

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, you’re job is to go out there and physically, emotionally, mentally dominate the game. You don’t do that at church on Sunday. You’ve got to go to the football field for that.”
