NFL fans react to what Tom Brady did hours into his 10-year $375m TV analyst contract
Fans had their say on Tom Brady as the NFL legend began his new role on FOX Sports after signing a 10-year contract.
The NFL legend, who was named as the Super Bowl MVP on five occasions during his illustrious playing career, is now FOX’s lead NFL color commentator after signing a 10-year deal worth a staggering $375 million in 2022.
He is believed to be earning double what fellow analysts Tony Romo and Troy Aikman are earning, though they work for CBS Sports and ESPN respectively.
Fans had to wait patiently for Brady to make his first appearance in his new role, with the 47-year-old electing to take a year away from the sport after retiring as a player in 2023.
His inaugural match in the hotseat was Cleveland Browns’ opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
In what was the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s first experience of live broadcasting, the New England Patriots icon received various reviews after fans watched his inaugural calls as color commentator.
One wrote: “He is literally watching the game as a fan, that’s why he is taking long to talk. He is enjoying the game and forgets he is a commentator.”
Another said: “It’s his first game – it’s live TV which is hard to get used to. He’ll loosen up over the course of the season.”

A third agreed: “I didn’t mind Brady. He was getting his feet wet, and I thought he was doing a good job.”
A fourth wrote: “He got better as the game went progressed. It’s not coming natural to him yet, but he will be fine.”
And a fifth argued: “Brady will grow into it. I actually like his unobtrusive style.”
Speaking ahead of his debut on Sunday, Brady said: “Obviously super excited. There’s a little anxiousness, obviously.
“There’s been a lot of preparation that’s gone into it by a lot of people. And it’s been a couple year journey.
“The thing that’s most exciting for me is getting back to NFL football, being up here in the booth.
“We’ve got a great group, there’s so many talented people that I get to work with. I get to be part of a great team, and I get to cover a sport that I absolutely love.”
