Tom Brady found out something disheartening about his contract at FOX Sports while on the air this past Sunday.
The former NFL quarterback is in his first season with the network, having signed a 10-year deal worth $375 million while still suiting up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He’s finding out that life in the booth, though not as grueling as on the football field, can be just as demanding.
Brady lent his expertise to Sunday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers and joined ‘The OT’ postgame show to discuss the Packers’ win with his colleagues.
Tom Brady Won’t Get To Enjoy Thanksgiving With His Family
One of those colleagues, Curt Menefee, would remind him of his Thanksgiving Day obligations, recalling that Michael Strahan was caught by surprise when he learned he would have to work on the holiday when he first joined the network.
“Hey Tom, [Michael] Strahan’s first year, he learned that he actually had to work on Thanksgiving Day,” he told Brady.
“He thought he had it off. Did they tell you that before you came? You have to work on Thanksgiving Day this year!”
“What!?” Brady responded, feigning surprise before laughing.

Strahan would then suggest that they should skip work and enjoy Thanksgiving together.

Antonio Brown Finally Reveals Why He Posted A Suggestive Photo Of Himself & Tom Brady’s Ex-Wife Gisele Bundchen Online

Antonio Brown has explained his reason for posting a photo of himself with Gisele Bundchen during his feud with former teammate Tom Brady.
The former wide receiver’s spell with the Pittsburgh Steelers ended on less-than-amicable terms, but he was handed an opportunity by Brady after fractious spells with the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots.
Brady even let Brown live with him and his family after he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
The WR would win his only Super Bowl that season and was seen hugging Gisele during the celebrations.
However, AB’s career in Tampa came to an abrupt end when he ran off the field shirtless in the middle of a game after an argument with his coaches. He hasn’t played in the NFL since.

Antonio Brown Is An Entertainer Now…
Brown posted photos of that on-field hug with Gisele after Brady’s divorce, implying he had an affair with the Brazilian model after rumors of infidelity spread amid her relationship with her new partner.
But Brown says it was all entertainment.
“I was just making entertainment,” he said in an interview with rapper Yung Miami. “At the end of the day, I’m an entertainer… So I was just being an entertainer.”
He wasn’t all that consistent, though, as he would admit he was unhappy with the former quarterback for not having his back.
“So I was just making light of people not doing me right, just getting back at them,” he said before cheekily adding, “I don’t kiss and tell.”
The former teammates have since patched things up, with Brown sharing a recording of a phone conversation with the Seven-time Super Bowl winner in which he was heard apologizing earlier this year.
