Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is in the headlines for an awkward moment two weeks ago when he remembered the late MLB analyst Tim McCarver, even though he died in 2023. Brady made sure to apologize to McCarver’s family for the mistake.
Brady wrote in his email titled “Leading Through Likability,” describing McCarver as “insightful, analytical, passionate, and immensely likable,” as he talks about leadership.
The issue with the piece was that it seemed to be breaking news that McCarver died, when in fact that was not the case.
Brady said he was thinking about the anniversary of McCarver’s death, but apparently, some words were cut during editing, leading to confusion among readers.

Brady vowed to learn from the mistake and be better next time, saying, “There are no excuses.”
