Cant imagine

how much money Fox threw at him for that
We'll never be rid of that smug bastard

I didn’t think Brady would be in the booth, I never got that feel from him. And admittedly I’m less of a Brady hater than others (beating him twice for sure helps that). Thought he was good in the manningcast thing.

The money must be absolutely bananas. Fox needed a big splash after all the movements and this is It.

Also, btwn him and his wife he doesn’t have to work a day anymore. He was retired for 3 months and had enough of his wife and kids. Godspeed.

never found Brady particularly engaging or interesting to listen to.

He's fine but I never felt like he'd be good in the booth where it was obvious for someone like Peyton.
When he retires in

2045.
I think he'll be a bore in the booth  
Jints in Carolina : 5/10/2022 10:47 am : link
we'll see.
I’m good with that  
Dave on the UWS : 5/10/2022 10:48 am : link
Brady has a good voice and Nobody knows the game better than him. And he’s a hard worker who will work at his craft.
Another big name player

That will make a boring analyst.
hard to predict  
bluepepper : 5/10/2022 12:26 pm : link
how guys will do in the booth. I hated John Madden when he was a coach. Seemed like a big, unkempt, humorless guy. Always crying about something on the sideline. Never would have guessed he'd become a lovable legend.

I know it’s Brady but that’s just a mind blowing amount.

They are counting on big advertising sponsorships to follow along.
The money is ridiculous  
pjcas18 : 5/10/2022 1:24 pm : link
IMO, but Brady will be great at this I think.

Better than Romo or Aikman.

Not once has the person calling the game impacted whether or not I tune in. I don't think a single person cares about that. These on-air talent deals are crazy.
It's great if he's QB-ing your team, but

I'm not convinced ANYONE really likes Tom Brady as a person/personality.

So, you emphasize that no one likes Brady by putting it in capital letters so everyone is really clear that you don't believe ANYONE likes Tom as a person.

However, I have personally met Tom at several charity events (Vince Wilfork's draft day party and Best Buddies events around the Pan Mass challenge) and I don't know any stars well and have no connections with other personalities other than events like this but I can tell you from my limited experience Tom is a very personable, friendly, approachable and seems like a genuine good person. He took time to thank each and every participant wasn't annoyed by the autograph hounds, took pictures with people, listened to people talk - he just seemed like a regular guy - not the greatest QB to ever play (or one in the conversation)

I am not as critical or supportive as some people of broadcasters (I'm pretty indifferent), but I bet Tom is really good at this.
How do we know it's in the booth

It's Tom Brady. The golden child. He will probably do everything live via satellite and Fox will send a communications crew to wherever he is.

JFC, that is insane for someone completely unproven at the craft.

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr...what an incredible life.
Great deal for him  
Lines of Scrimmage : 5/10/2022 4:04 pm : link
Works three days a week for half the year and still have plenty of time for the family and seeing the kids games.

I am sure like everything else he will put the effort in to be the best.

If he was a D bag....nobody would play for him. I look forward to his commentating and insight. He should should as a QB this season.
He's North Californian

kinda milquetoast and boring on the surface if you ask me, sometimes hard to get a read on sincerity. Don't take offense if you're from the area, just some old impressions from when I lived there.

How much is Robert Kraft kicking in as part of his under the table payment deal with Brady?

Can't possibly be any worse than Aikman & Romo. 1's boring af & the other is a raving buffoon.
