“There's a lot of juice in the stadium”: Tom Brady sheds light on one major disappointment after covering seven games for FOX Sports

Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, has become an official minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and serves as a color commentator for FOX Sports. After retiring from the NFL in 2022, Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX. He has covered seven games so far and recently expressed disappointment with the fixtures assigned to him. In a recent Let’s Go! podcast segment, Brady mentioned that most of his games have been blowouts, and the home field has not been able to dominate.

Tom Brady has covered seven games so far and recently revealed one major disappointment

Tom Brady is now in a new role, presenting Fox Sports' top games for viewers. He and Kevin Burkhardt, a play-by-play broadcaster, pair up weekly to announce the games, but the games he has called have not been particularly thrilling in the first seven weeks of the 2024 NFL season. "All these games I've gone into—I've done seven games now. I've had six blowouts, essentially, and the home team has only won one game," Brady said on the Let's Go! podcast this week. "I can't wait until I get a home team [playing] in a close game and there's a lot of juice in the stadium."

Brady started his broadcasting career by covering the Dallas Cowboys' first three games, followed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rout of the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4 and the Arizona Cardinals' 24–23 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. He has been on the mic for the Cowboys and 49ers' losses to the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs. Brady announced only two games decided by one possession, with one being the Cowboys' 28-25 loss to the Ravens in Week 3. The game was less competitive than expected, with Dallas trailing 28-6 and never having a chance to tie or take the lead.

However, Brady insists he's still loving the new gig. "It's been really fun to sit and watch these games from the 50-yard line," Brady said. "Although I'd much prefer to be on the field playing, because it's a lot more fun down there. ... But just watching from above and seeing how these guys are performing is pretty cool.” Brady will return to the booth in Week 8 for the Seattle Seahawks' game against the Buffalo Bills, hoping for a thrilling wire-to-wire thriller to improve his broadcasting skills.
