I wish that FOX didn't just throw him out on the top spot and at least let Burkhardt and Olsen shine for another year. By far the best commentary booth in the NFL, sneaky good.
I agree. I keep saying I can't stand Tom Brady, and everyone is like yOu'RE jUst JeAlOUs... Nah, I will take my imperfect, human team over an arrogant robot man who cared so little about his model wife he cheated on her with football. Belichick: Likeable Gronk: Likeable Purdy: Likeable Mahomes: Likable Aaron Donald: Likeable Tom Brady: 🦗🦗🦗
Answering before watching it: With that hype, that contract and him being thrown as the lead color guy from the get go - it was obvious he would not live up to it immidiately. However, I would be lying if I said he was terrible all the time. He is getting better with each game as he gains experience. I think he will be good eventually but I'm not sure if he'll ever reach the level which would be worth the amount of money he gets.
His first game was pretty bad, but I feel like he has been getting better. It feels weird for them to try to force him as a personality so hard. I mean obviously getting the GOAT to do anything is gonna be views, I just mean that I also saw him doing power rankings and stuff. Feels weird lmao.
I didn't watch his first game, but it must have been real bad because every time I hear him I feel like he's gotten worse. I just want to know why he always calls it the "red area."
I actually like the way he interjects with excitement whenever a cool play happens and the play by play commentator is doing his thing it's like a kid watching something cool for the first time lmao
As someone who studies the game obsessively, having a commentator that's straight analytical and less fluff would be amazing, like you said letting Brady actually criticize players. It's better than listening to Collinsworth just making the same noise over and over again and bringing up Mahomes in a game that has nothing to do with him. So far though I actually like Brady's commentating, like in the Buccaneers game I heard a few quiet moments where you hear him say "You got him" one of them being right before the Evans TD, makes it interesting hearing the greatest QB making reads from the booth.
Great and fair analysis, I especially agree about the 2-minute drill factor. Personally, I think this is just another avenue for Brady to test himself in and there’s absolutely no way he’s gonna fulfill the duration of that contract. I imagine the opportunity to call a Super Bowl this very season (instead of waiting 2-3 years for it) played a big part in him taking up the gig now
He been ok like he honestly have his good moments and it’s crazy that I notice week by week improvement…people forget Greg Olsen was calling games while still playing he would call a game on his bye weeks toward the end of his career and then he got hurt his last year and I remember him calling a few games so Greg had experience before doing it full time in 2021 also could re-watch himself before doing full time and Tom is literally improving week by week…Romo talks to much but obviously but you can tell he still watches a lot of film
I think he will good. It's kinda cool we get TB in the media sphere of football. Most people who are considered goats kinda set recede from the limelight and kinda just do weird billionaire things and just become boring . He will get better as soon as he figures himself and his teammate out.
The tricky part with hating is that if he leans into it too much, the viewer might start to think “why am I watching this mediocre crap?” And change the channel. Praising the players as if they’re demigods communicates to the viewer that they absolutely have to keep watching because they’re witnessing something great. That’s why the networks lean toward that style of commentary
Funny enough, when he takes the mask off and gets to hating, I am more entertained than when he gives grades or gets lots in thought. If he can be a critical analyst that really hammers mediocrity, I think I’ll appreciate his commentary more. His best moment so far has easily been when he called out Baker and the Bucs, because he was 100% correct. That’s pretty much the same Bucs team that choked to the Falcons of all teams, they ain’t winning a ring at this rate.
I’m not a loser who sits and tries to break down every second of someone’s job just because they make more than me so with that being said I’ve genuinely enjoyed Brady’s commentating. And this is coming from someone who’s always rooted against him on the field.
He’s getting better week by week… it’s the awkward pauses and not really having breath control that take me out of it sometimes. He’ll get better. His analysis isn’t bad he just needs to get it out quicker and more concisely
Give the man time… I mean he only just started. But if you know anything about Brady he is gonna put in the hard work and get better and better. Dude is a competitor in every aspect of time.
The $375 million number stuck with me in an odd way. Then it dawned on me, when Fox bought the rights to the NFC it was viewed as over paying since the AFC got about $375 million for a 5 year contract. I may have confused AFC with NFC but it does show how much the league has grown since the nineties.
at 7:10 it was D throw. Dak threw it so much in the back of elliot that he couldnt catch it. I think it can help to understand if the incomplete pass is the fault of the receiver or the quarterback
The version of Brady we want on broadcast is a version I don’t think we’re gonna get. He cares too much about being liked to lean in to the “bad guy”potential he could have for sure.
you are so right about what Brady needs to add to his commentary game - FOX need to unleash the borderline psycho that Tom can be when it comes to football
I tried hearing it, but all of his games (except for one) as of right now have been ruined by Dak Prescott yelling "YEAH, HERE WE GO!" every time he snaps the ball, which annoys me, so I have to mute the TV.
Serious question how many actually enjoy listening to commentators while watching the football game. For me I have the game on silent if the commentators are talking too much. I can't stand listening to them talk about nonsense for however long. But for others that watch the game do you enjoy listening to commentators or is this something you put up with. I'm curious on what the consensus is with sports commentators during a game.
If his name wasn't Tom Brady and you just went off of his commentary. Most people would think he's was as bad as Jason Witten. That being said maybe in a year he will better.
@@mattl8774 He just comes off as very wooden and his chemistry with Kevin Burkhardt isn't there. But yes he will most likely get better. And I'm hoping he does because he seems to cover the Cowboys alot.
I don't know if enough people watch baseball on ESPN for this comparison to land, but Brady is the Alex Rodriguez of the NFL. Most of what he says sounds like its been filtered through a focus group, and everything else is the most boomer-ass 'back in my day' takes.
I think Brady's done fine and will continue to get better but he'll never be worth the price tag. Brady has the ability of being very candid when he talks about football which should serve him well going forward.
Brady just has to let loose and let him be himself more. I think his commentary would be more colorful that way because he kinda sounds like wonder bread rn, which isn’t bad by any means, but it could have more character.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone is making him to the throw grading scale. Romo is an annoying commentator now because CBS neutered him from calling out plays because casual watchers at home were too confused. That is how he made is commentary, so now he doesn't really have as much to say, and tries to be a personality more than a commentator. It wouldn't surprise me if FOX gave Brady a simple gimmick so they could avoid things like a Romo situation.
Personally I don’t like how he tries to punk current players. Some argue he’s earned the right to do so because he’s the GOAT, but to me it seems harsh. Other former NFL players turned commentator don’t feel the need to be as blunt as he is
Olsen has been better than Brady in the booth. Pretty handedly, Brady is an owner, so he cannot talk about a few topics on fox. Olsen doesn’t have those regulations, and I like that. Brady may be the goat, but he is NOT my go to guy for Fox.
He's boring as hell and everyone knew that going in apparently except the broadcast networks themselves. I'm a lifelong Pats fan and I'd still rather see Olsen or Romo doing color commentary in the booth. Brady is the GOAT, but he's never been known as a particularly enthusiastic public speaker.
Please, I want Brady salt on the mic. That would make watching the sports a million times better. Just fucking lambast bad penalties, talk about how practice is awful but has to be done or you play like shit, all that hate shit.
Here's the problem with Brady: 1. His voice is annoying. 2. He has no charisma. 3. He's not a good public speaker. 4. He's not entertaining. 5. He doesn't add much to the broadcast (in fact, currently he _detracts_ from it). #3 and #5 can be overcome. #1, #2, and #4 cannot. Romo obviously has an incredibly deep understanding of the game, but crucially can explain what is going on as it's happening (or even briefly before). Olsen is great because he's funny and also good at explaining things well as they're happening. While Romo has the gravelly quarterback voice that comes from years of shouting (which Brady is oddly devoid of), neither one of them are grating to listen to, unlike Tom's nasally voice. He's not funny or relatable. He's utterly unlikeable. And when Tom regales us with stories, they tend to be completely unrelated to whatever is happening on the field and at a moment when the viewer wants to hear anything but some random event that once happened in Tom Brady's life. Brady doesn't seem to understand broadcast pacing. That will surely improve with time, but it's clear that he hasn't actually watched many broadcast football games. During a recent game he started telling a story and had to pause to, you know, let the game happen, and then like a full 3 minutes later, during a brief moment of silence, Tom just suddenly picks up where he left off, as if anyone still cared. Broadcasting is full of interruptions and moments when people accidentally talk over each other. Good broadcasters understand that past a certain point, you drop the thing you were talking about, no matter how badly you wanted to finish your story, because it just becomes awkward to revisit after so long. Not Tom. Tom will assert his dominance in the broadcast booth just like he did on the field. Everyone needs to hear Tom's story. Even if they think they don't. Even if it has no relevance to the game that everyone is _trying_ to watch. Brady's disjointed dialog and unwillingness to use filler words are not the problem. In fact, I think they make him better in the booth. It demonstrates a willingness and an ability to think on his feet, and additional games will only reinforce his thought flow and help him improve. I would rather hear him correct himself and use pauses than to keep filling the air with nonsense. What gets me is when he makes a statement that offers zero insight and adds nothing to the broadcast, which he does quite often. Or when he starts a sentence and then aborts it suddenly for seemingly no reason. Or how he insists on calling the red zone the "red area." He's the first broadcast I've ever heard use that term. And Tom is no good at trash talking, either. He reminds me of my friend's dad when he came home in a bad mood one time and complained about the trash cans being "all the way goddamn down at the end of the driveway." That's not the way you use angry language, Rick. You gotta sort your words better and put some more passion behind them. I get that Brady is trying to hold back, but he sounds like a square. He always sounds so much like a square. Like a person with zero personality. Probably because... never mind. Fox always has the worst broadcast crews. They lucked into Greg Olsen and if they were smart, they would have built around him and told Brady to pound sand. Instead, we have to suffer through not only his broadcasts but the idiotic commercials promoting it, as if anyone is hyped about Brady's presence in the booth or are watching the game for any other reason than because it's only being broadcast on Fox. I seriously do not understand spending that kind of money on him and then wasting even more money on making commercials which actively subtract from the ad time you could be selling to other businesses. But this is Fox, so none of it is surprising.

*_Imagine hearing the voice of Patrick Lavon Mahomes II in a broadcast booth in 2040._*
I ain’t tryna hear Kermit call games 🤣
Nah bro will still be slinging it, you gotta wait until 2050 lol
Oh wow he sounded a little Mahomie right there
🐸 WoOw what a PAss
🐸 TOUCHDOWN!
I wish that FOX didn't just throw him out on the top spot and at least let Burkhardt and Olsen shine for another year. By far the best commentary booth in the NFL, sneaky good.
Belichick has been far more interesting in the media because he actually seems like a real person with an actual personality!
What do you mean by “a rule person”?
@@zplapplapprobably someone who knows the rules very well, like the guy they ask their opinion on in the IR
@@N279 Thanks. Yes, completely makes sense.
Tom has a personality though, its slips out like with the baker mayfield thing and examples in the video. He just has to stop being someone he’s not
I agree. I keep saying I can't stand Tom Brady, and everyone is like yOu'RE jUst JeAlOUs... Nah, I will take my imperfect, human team over an arrogant robot man who cared so little about his model wife he cheated on her with football.
Belichick: Likeable

@@yohancemosley4470 He's literally the first broadcaster I've ever heard say "red area."
As a Bears fan, thanks for the mental anguish, Thomas.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, Thomas!😆
Seriously thinking about naming my kids Thomas, Edward, Patrick and Brady
I actually like the way he interjects with excitement whenever a cool play happens and the play by play commentator is doing his thing it's like a kid watching something cool for the first time lmao
If there's one thing we know about brady is that he will improve.
Guaranteed. He'll take criticism and grow from it.
He will get better as the season goes on
As someone who studies the game obsessively, having a commentator that's straight analytical and less fluff would be amazing, like you said letting Brady actually criticize players. It's better than listening to Collinsworth just making the same noise over and over again and bringing up Mahomes in a game that has nothing to do with him.

Tell me you’re in a Tom Brady fan club without telling me that you’re in a Tom Brady fan club.

Brady probably wouldn’t be so scrutinized in his role if he didn’t replace Greg Olsen
Cuphead background music is an absolute banger as per usual
Love hearing Brady in the booth most of my family does he’s getting better and I love his emotion when calling games.
Tom and I both have four first name, it’s a weird life
I just watched your Derrick Henry video wondering where you were! I'm glad you put out a video today.
I can see him figuring it out, I'd be eager to hear his call of Chiefs-Niners in week 7.
He been ok like he honestly have his good moments and it’s crazy that I notice week by week improvement…people forget Greg Olsen was calling games while still playing he would call a game on his bye weeks toward the end of his career and then he got hurt his last year and I remember him calling a few games so Greg had experience before doing it full time in 2021 also could re-watch himself before doing full time and Tom is literally improving week by week…Romo talks to much but obviously but you can tell he still watches a lot of film
Hes not great, but unfortunately Id still rather listen to him that 75% of the teams.
Ive seen a couple games, hes ok
everbody loved the clapback tom gave to baker and I think he will get better with more time in the booth. He is the GOAT for a reason
We got to get this guy to post more.
Noti e how alot of critique this video displayed was from Bradys FIRST GAME, as he vastly improved in thr weeks after.
There’s a solid blend of all 4. Cowboys were in 3 of them though so it gets confusing.
Brady is good enough to see aptitude and realistic potential. He’ll get better. Dude doesn’t half-ass anything.
I think he will good. It's kinda cool we get TB in the media sphere of football. Most people who are considered goats kinda set recede from the limelight and kinda just do weird billionaire things and just become boring . He will get better as soon as he figures himself and his teammate out.
Damn, if you were a Bears fan, hearing that Tom almost joined your team must still sting like hell.
My friends told me I was delusional when I thought we might get him back in 2020
He’s gotten much better week to week already. He’ll be great soon
He’s actually pretty good. Better then most
Huge Brady hater throughout his NFL career and I agree tbh. Standards are low though, most of those guys are annoying as fuck.
Pretty good? Standards must be low, he's not horrible but he's definitely not good yet...
the Manhattan Project comparison is so wild like who made/what inspired that comparison 😭
I had no idea he was becoming a play by play man.
He's been fine.
Love this channel
Im so happy i watch redzone so i bearly heard tom so far this year
The tricky part with hating is that if he leans into it too much, the viewer might start to think “why am I watching this mediocre crap?” And change the channel.
Praising the players as if they’re demigods communicates to the viewer that they absolutely have to keep watching because they’re witnessing something great. That’s why the networks lean toward that style of commentary
Great points. There’s definitely a balance to be struck for sure
They need to offer Peyton Manning the same contract and put them in the broadcast booth together. I’d pay money to listen to that every week.
This is my 3rd video ever here and ya got me locked in
Funny enough, when he takes the mask off and gets to hating, I am more entertained than when he gives grades or gets lots in thought.

could you imagine "Brady 2026 or whatever year" for a football game. I'm joking, but also not really
Brady just needs to become the Marco Pierre White of commentary.
I get the impression the only difference between TB12 and MJ is that MJ would say the things TB thought.
Greg Olsen is the most positive person in the universe and I love him.
Are you good at a thing you did 4 times in your life or would you rather people wait a bit until they judge you?
The version of Brady we want on broadcast is a version I don’t think we’re gonna get. He cares too much about being liked to lean in to the “bad guy”potential he could have for sure.
He’s alright awkward but fine for 2 months but I’m hoping he uses his football knowledge to call games kind of like romo
I hope it gets a lot better
you are so right about what Brady needs to add to his commentary game - FOX need to unleash the borderline psycho that Tom can be when it comes to football
I think he's fine. He doesn't talk too much.
I'd love for Brady to just spit hate everytime something sloppy happens
I tried hearing it, but all of his games (except for one) as of right now have been ruined by Dak Prescott yelling "YEAH, HERE WE GO!" every time he snaps the ball, which annoys me, so I have to mute the TV.
The GOAT is back
They should’ve done a three man crew and kept Greg Olsen with the a team, and but Brady isn’t that bad ,it’s his first year
Better than TNF Al Michaels.
interseting video, glad i was 7th to see it!

Cmon that's a bit excessive. He's NOT Witten bad.
He's not even bad. He's OK and in fact pretty good in spots. He'll get better
@@mattl8774 He just comes off as very wooden and his chemistry with Kevin Burkhardt isn't there. But yes he will most likely get better. And I'm hoping he does because he seems to cover the Cowboys alot.
I always thought brady had a super winey sounding voice. I haven't found it too greating yet.
Maybe he needs the right person to bounce off of? Like, the Mannings have been killing it in MNF.
I don't know if enough people watch baseball on ESPN for this comparison to land, but Brady is the Alex Rodriguez of the NFL. Most of what he says sounds like its been filtered through a focus group, and everything else is the most boomer-ass 'back in my day' takes.
Yall Brady haters make laugh. Kiss the 7 rings when you go to bed tonight
You mean 7?
He's one month into a profession that takes ppl years to develop in lmfao
Brady should lean into his "hater" style. It's more authentic. It'll help him relax and if anyone has the credentials to say it how it is its Tom
He's fine
Brady is in fact not a first name. It's a surname that people in America began to use as a first.
I think Brady's done fine and will continue to get better but he'll never be worth the price tag. Brady has the ability of being very candid when he talks about football which should serve him well going forward.
Hmmm arent you a bit hard on him here? Ofc he should have expectations on him but still. Not much positive about him.
I would love for Brady to go full Simon Cowell. Rip apart mediocrity.
Brady just has to let loose and let him be himself more. I think his commentary would be more colorful that way because he kinda sounds like wonder bread rn, which isn’t bad by any means, but it could have more character.
He's been hiding his personality for years. If he acts more like the brady we hear about in stories I think he'll do well.

Did something happen to your voice?
let us all appreciate all the scientists and engineers who invented the MUTE button. Thank you.
Personally I don’t like how he tries to punk current players. Some argue he’s earned the right to do so because he’s the GOAT, but to me it seems harsh. Other former NFL players turned commentator don’t feel the need to be as blunt as he is
WTF are you talking about?
No.
Anyone who bets against Brady in anything is a fool!!
Olsen has been better than Brady in the booth. Pretty handedly, Brady is an owner, so he cannot talk about a few topics on fox. Olsen doesn’t have those regulations, and I like that.
Brady may be the goat, but he is NOT my go to guy for Fox.
No. But hopefully he will improve with experience.
Is that cuphead music?
Maybe. Idk give him some time
He's boring as hell and everyone knew that going in apparently except the broadcast networks themselves. I'm a lifelong Pats fan and I'd still rather see Olsen or Romo doing color commentary in the booth. Brady is the GOAT, but he's never been known as a particularly enthusiastic public speaker.
hes ok so far
First game he was terrible, he got better after that.
No, but Bill is
Better than thom brennaman
no lol, its cool tho cuz its tom.
FYTB
Olsen got bumped for Brady on Fox and he's such a better commentator. Brady shouid be an analyst, not a color commentator
Please, I want Brady salt on the mic. That would make watching the sports a million times better. Just fucking lambast bad penalties, talk about how practice is awful but has to be done or you play like shit, all that hate shit.
Simple answer
*No*
Fitting comparing it to the Manhattan Project considering how good Brady is at bombing on-air.
No
Here's the problem with Brady:
1. His voice is annoying.
2. He has no charisma.
3. He's not a good public speaker.
4. He's not entertaining.
5. He doesn't add much to the broadcast (in fact, currently he _detracts_ from it).
#3 and #5 can be overcome. #1, #2, and #4 cannot.
