Tom Brady had his broadcasting debut on Sunday as he joined Kevin Burkhardt in the FOX booth to commentate on the Dallas Cowboys matchup against the Browns in Cleveland. But as much as he is beloved on the field and some fans would probably even want him to be their quarterback today, being on TV is a different thing.
And he did not make the best impression as his cadence was all over the place and it seemed he was struggling to articulate his thoughts. His co-commentator had to prod him multiple times and in some instances, he spoke over the play that was already happening.
Fans were quick to react to the whole thing with some demanding that Greg Olsen be brought back. They took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to air their thoughts. Here are some of the best reactions from the social media platform.
Others pointed out the injustice of giving someone with no experience of the job the highest contract ever while letting go of a person who was not doing too badly in the first place. Here are some more responses.
“Maybe someone should have listened to Tom Brady actually say words before dropping $300 million on him.”
“Think about this, Tom Brady was hired for a position with zero experience and he replaced a proven guy who worked his way up. Greg Olsen was awesome. The complete opposite of how it supposed to work in America.”
“FOX had the best commentator in a long time in Greg Olsen and just kicked him to the curb for one of the worst commentators we’ve ever seen in Tom Brady. Dirty business.”
Tom Brady drops into cliches, shows lack of excitement on FOX broadcasting debut
There is no shame in being a bit jittery on your first day in a new job and Tom Brady has shown enough in his NFL career to suggest that you can never count him out. But there were a couple of indications that he was getting too conscious about what he was doing.
He kept talking about negative plays hurting the Browns over and over again. And his apparent nervousness, perhaps, made him too overawed to enjoy some of the biggest plays. He had colleagues calling him out on not showing his emotions on things like 71-yard field goal attempts.
Thre’s still some time to go before we can judge the GOAT and his broadcasting career, but for every Peyton Manning, there’s Drew Brees. Being on TV is not for everyone.
