Tom Brady’s only complaint with start of Fox broadcasting career

Tom Bradys ready to see some action again.

No, not from under center.

From up in the booth.

All these games Ive gone into Ive done seven games now, Ive had six blowouts, essentially, and the home team has only won one game, Brady said on the Lets Go! podcast with Bill Belichick, Maxx Crosby, Peter King & Jim Gray .

I cant wait until I get a home team [playing] in a close game and theres a lot of juice in the stadium.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion and 15-time Pro Bowler traded in the cleats for a headset in February 2023 after spending the previous 23 years taking snaps for the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 2024 campaign has been Bradys first season working alongside play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt as Fox Sports lead game analyst.

In Weeks 1-3, the duo was following around the limping Cowboys.

Those three contests included Dallas 33-17 trouncing of the Browns in Cleveland, a 44-19 trouncing by the New Orleans Saints in the Cowboys home opener, and then a 28-25 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens though this one wasnt nearly as competitive as the final score makes it out to be.

Brady next made a visit to the ol stomping grounds in Tampa for what should have been an elite Week 4 matchup between the Eagles and the Bucs except it wasnt particularly close: Tampa Bay 33, Philadelphia 16.

Brady and Burkhardt were dispatched to Santa Clara the following week where they called the Cardinals 24-23 Week 5 road upset over the 49ers.

Hope was restored.

Momentarily.

In Weeks 6 and 7, neither of their matchups the Lions 47-9 demolition of the Cowboys nor the Chiefs 28-18 win over the 49ers offered much to write home about.

Brady, for now, is content to take them as he gets them.

Its been really fun to sit and watch these games from the 50-yard line, he said.

Although Id much prefer to be on the field playing, because its a lot more fun down there ...

But just watching from above and seeing how these guys are performing is pretty cool.

And even if the analyst isnt enamored with the assignments he and Burkhardt have received to date, hes still getting paid handsomely for all that garbage time idle chit chat.

As The Post previously reported, Bradys 10-year contract with Fox is worth a whopping $375 million .

Over 10 18-week seasons, that works out to $2 million per contest enough to make even the analysts on Wall Street quiver in their loafers..
