Rocky Landing Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) There's a lot of good segment options here for him, tho. He could do an analysis segment called "Brady's Asterisk." He could do an interview segment called "Brady's Soft Balls." He could do a call-in segment where he answers callers' questions, and then destroys his phone at the end. He could do something similar to Baldy's Breakdown, called "Brady's Spycam." Edited May 10, 2022 by Rocky Landing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think alot of the NE hatred is due to them winning so much and more due to BB but then becomes projected on Brady. Yes he's had a few bad looks, but nothing off the field. Read an article awhile back and talked about how you don't see Brady doing a bunch of commercials, movies and other off the field things. All he's focused on is winning and keeping his body in tip top shape. A lot of people have noticeably come around to Brady in recent years. He definitely isn't as hated as he used to be. Not sure how some people aren't seeing this. Edited May 10, 2022 by evek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an era/generation where all the kids get a trophy…his throw back to throttle and pummel you over and over again…doesn’t sit well to some. It doesn't sit well because he got caught cheating once and his team got caught cheating several times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think the wide spread hate for him has significantly reduced since leaving NE. He’s become much more likable by being funny and entertaining. Think this will be a good move for Fox. May not be very popular amongst AFC East fan bases, but I think he is far less hated by the rest of the fans than he was while in NE.

That better change or he'll just be Joe Montana 2.0 I remember when NBC snagged Joe Montana to be their top analyst following his retirement. That was a BIG deal for them (they handled the AFC games back then). LOTS of hype and pre-selling. I don't know if he lacked the talent, or his heart wasn't in it, but that gig was over in a heartbeat. I'd have to Google it, but it seemed to be done in a single season; maybe it was two. The point is that there's no guarantee that stardom on the field translates into the broadcast booth. For what it's worth, I remember Jim Kelly being brought aboard ESPN (?) as an in-studio analyst. That's another one that lasted a season, maybe two. Not to go too far off-topic, but I'm not sold on Drew Brees at this point. I know he's trying really hard, but at this point he seems to just spew out "athlete-isms". There's nothing incisive there yet. Not saying it can't happen, but right now it seems like "fake-it-until-you-make-it". Long story short - let's see how Brady actually does behind the microphone. He might not last as long as Fox thinks. Because he might suck at it. Others have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady could have some brilliant insight or he could be a total dud, I have listened to his podcast with Jim Grey and he is wooden and I think it sucks, play by play could be totally different. I agree on Brees, I just dont think he has it and probably never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Don't you think you should see how he actually does in the role before you make him your 'lead analyst'? I guess they want to throw money at him and get him to sign up, but just how much impact does signing these guys to top dollar have for the networks? I can't imagine a LOT more or LESS people are going to watch a game based on who is, or isn't doing the broadcast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billznut Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Has any human ever in history led a more charmed life than Tom Brady? 7 SB wins, 300+ million in career earnings, a supermodel wife who has made even more money than he has and now handed 375 million MORE to do color commentary in the future. I don’t like the guy much, but you gotta admit he has had one of the most charmed lives I’ve ever seen a person have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
