Summary
Tom Brady wrote a tribute to Tim McCarver, a legendary MLB broadcaster, in his newsletter, but it was three years too late. McCarver passed away in 2023, but Brady’s original post stated he had passed away “last week.” The error was later corrected, with Brady attributing it to a “proofreading mistake.”

The habit gets a new name.
Tom Brady’s tribute to Tim McCarver was a bit of a swing and a miss. He shared it three years after McCarver’s passing, and the original post even got the timing wrong. Brady’s correction was swift, but the damage was done. The “proofreading mistake” excuse is a classic. The real question is, who’s running the show over at Brady’s newsletter?
It’s just another case of a celebrity trying to seem relatable, but ending up looking out of touch. The “Leading Through Likability” theme of Brady’s newsletter takes on a whole new meaning in this context.
And let’s be real, if you’re going to pay tribute to someone, at least get the timing right. It’s not that hard.
The lifestyle of a celebrity: where a “proofreading mistake” is just a minor speed bump.
Who needs fact-checking when you’re a legend?
