New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is all about equal time ahead of the Nov. 8 general election, at least when it comes to audibles he could yell out.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady calls a play against the Steelers.

"Trump and Clinton,” Brady said on Boston’s WEEI-FM on Monday. “We have two calls.”

Brady was asked about whether he’d use a Trump audible during his weekly appearance on Kirk & Callahan. It sounded like New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning screamed, “Trump! Trump Trump!” during his team’s 17-10 victory over the Los Angles Rams in London on Sunday, although Manning said afterward he instead uttered “something very similar."

Brady has shied away from questions regarding the election after there was some backlash for his apparent support of Trump, whom he played golf with early in his NFL career and has kept in touch with over the years. He was seen with a Trump "Make America Great Again" hat in the locker room last year and said it "would be great" to see Trump in the White house.

Brady, however, said he’s never endorsed Trump and has been reticent to talk politics. He walked out of a news conference earlier this month after he was asked about a 2005 video that surfaced of Trump making lewd comments about women.
