NFL fans had the same complaint about Tom Brady during his debut as an analyst for FOX Sports on Sunday in Cleveland.
The 47-year-old Tom Brady officially began the 10-year, $375 million deal he signed with FOX Sports in 2022. He worked the Cleveland Browns-Dallas Cowboys game alongside new partners Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.
Brady received mixed reviews in his debut as an NFL analyst. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was noticeably but understandably nervous and sometimes struggled to complete sentences throughout the contest.
And this awkward exchange with rules analyst Mike Pereira in the booth didn’t help matters:
On social media, fans also shared one frequent complaint about Tom Brady. They felt as though he lacked general excitement and seemed to be bored out of his mind throughout the game
In Tom Brady’s defense, he wasn’t exactly calling the most thrilling game for his broadcasting debut, either. The Cowboys cruised to a 33-17 victory over the Browns, but the game was really over in the third quarter when a KaVontae Turpin punt return touchdown put the visitors up by 24.
The Cowboys sacked Deshaun Watson six times and forced two Cleveland turnovers in the victory. Love or hate Brady’s debut as an analyst, but it’s hard to fake excitement during a game when it’s completely lopsided.
Tom Brady Calls Cowboys vs. Saints Next Week
During the Cowboys-Browns game, it was announced that the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Burkhardt and Andrews will again be assigned to calling America’s Team next Sunday.
FOX has assigned its No. 1 team to the Cowboys home opener against Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints, who soundly defeated the Carolina Panthers 47-10 at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday.
Criticize Brady’s work in the broadcast booth all you want, but the future Hall of Fame inductee can only get better from here…especially if he’s assigned to better games going forward.
Latest Photo Of Jason Kelce’s Shocking Body Transformation Confirms He Won’t Be Coming Out Of Retirement Anytime Soon

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.
Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.
But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:
“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.
He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
