NFL fans were much more impressed with Tom Brady’s second outing as an NFL analyst in Week 2 after a rough debut in Cleveland last week.
Tom Brady began his mammoth 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX last week, but it was far from a smooth transition into the broadcast booth for the seven-time Super Bowl champion. Fans and critics heavily criticized Brady’s performance in the Cleveland Browns-Dallas Cowboys game, notably his obvious nerves and lack of energy.
But fans were much more pleased with the NFL legend during Sunday’s contest between the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. The three-time league MVP certainly sounded more confident and at ease in his second game as an analyst:
The 47-year-old signed his 10-year deal with FOX in 2022, before beginning his final season as a quarterback with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom Brady retired from football in 2023 and spent a year away from the game before commencing his career with FOX last week.
Brady was assigned to the network’s top team with play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt and sideline reporter Erin Andrews. In a move criticized by many, FOX demoted Greg Olsen from the No. 1 team and put him on the No. 2 team with Joe Davis.
Burkhardt, Brady and Andrews will also be on the call for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, Louisana at the Caesars Superdome on Feb. 11.
Tom Brady Will Only Get Better With Time
Fans need to keep in mind that there’s a huge difference between playing professional football and calling it on live television for nearly three full hours. So it’s going to take time for Tom Brady to get fully accustomed to his new career, and patience is required for the most accomplished player in league history.
It also doesn’t help that Brady has been assigned to two straight blowouts, thus limiting the amount of analysis he can provide. Hopefully his Week 3 assignment will actually be compelling game.
