If most people know one personality trait of Fox color commentator Tom Brady—beyond his extraordinary success as a quarterback for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers—it is that he is legendarily strict about what he puts in his body.
Brady's status as a nutrition nut, however, generally takes a backseat to his status as a team player. That's how the future Hall of Famer found himself chowing down on turducken in the Fox booth Thursday during the Dallas Cowboys' 27–20 win over the New York Giants.
"That's good," Brady told play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt, nodding. "That's really good."

Almost immediately, the jokes began flowing about the contrast between the turducken and the food Brady is used to consuming.

There are presumably not a lot of turducken components to be found in Brady's day-to-day life.
