Tom Brady has 7 Super Bowl wins to his name. Which is one more than the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots who have 6 in their history. However, for the 45-year-old, it looks highly unlikely that he would be winning another one. Especially at his current team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are currently 6-7 this season. While Brady and Bucs go through a tumultuous time as a group. A 5-year-old son of an NFL commentator has unintentionally delivered the team a finishing blow.

Samantha Steele Ponder is a host for ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. According to the caster, her son has a little confusion over the identity of Tampa Bay. Instead of the Bucs, her son thinks it is called the ”Butts,” and by her own admission, she is not going to correct him. She tweeted about this after the humiliating loss of the Pewter Pirates by the hands of the Niners.
My 5 year old thinks Tampa Bay is called the “Butts” and tbh I don’t think I’m gonna correct him today

Although this news might add to the misery of Brady and company, the innocent jibe made quite a few other NFL fans chuckle.
I’m a Bucs fan and this made me laugh. The kid is not wrong.

This fan even supported the little guy’s misdemeanor.
Well that’s how they are playing no doubt

While this fan shared his own story with the Buccaneers’ name confusion with the kids.
My son a few years ago thought they were the "Butt and Ears". Never corrected him.

The kid even sent this person into nostalgia.
Teach him about when we used to call them the “YUCS”

In spite of correcting her boy, Samantha chose not to. But she has the support of other fans as well.
Nor should you 👏🏼👏🏼

Apart from the NFC South and innocent mistakes, there is not much for the Bucs’ fans to be cheerful about.
A year to forget for Tom Brady
2022 is nearly over. It has been an incredibly eventful year, especially for TB12. After a nail-biting loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game, Brady retired and even came back. However, for the ultimate competitor, this season looks like a wash.

Even though the team is at the top of their division and right in the mix for a playoff spot. The Buccaneers just do not look like the same team anymore. Their offense with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin was one of the best in the league for the past two years. They currently rank 28th in the league for points per game and dead last for rushing yards per game.

The NFC North team should remember their Super Bowl win from the 2020-21 season, yet it must seem like an old memory now. Even with the Offence intact, some injuries in the O-line, and a few players lost to other teams from the defensive side, making it really hard to see them go deep in the playoffs.
