Tom Brady’s only complaint about starting his broadcasting career at Fox

Tom Brady is ready to see some action again.

No, not from below. From above in the cabin.

“All these games that I’ve been in – I’ve played seven games now, I’ve basically had six shutouts and the home team only won one game,” Brady said on the “Let’s Go!” Podcast with Bill Belichick, Maxx Crosby , Peter King and Jim Gray.” “I can’t wait until I get a home team [playing] It’s a close game and there’s a lot of tension in the stadium.”

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

The 2024 campaign was Brady’s first season working alongside play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt as Fox Sports’ lead game analyst.

In Weeks 1 through 3, the duo followed the limping Cowboys.

Those three contests included Dallas’ 33-17 win over the Browns in Cleveland, a 44-19 win by the New Orleans Saints in the Cowboys’ home opener, and then a 28-25 home loss against the Baltimore Ravens – but this time it is not nearly as competitive as the final result would suggest.

Next, Brady visited the old venue in Tampa, where an elite duel between the Eagles and the Bucs should have taken place in Week 4 – although it wasn’t particularly close: Tampa Bay 33, Philadelphia 16.

Brady and Burkhardt were sent to Santa Clara the following week, where they helped the Cardinals upset the 49ers 24-23 in Week 5. Hope was restored. At the moment.

There were no notable matchups in Weeks 6 and 7 – neither the Lions’ 47-9 win over the Cowboys nor the Chiefs’ 28-18 win over the 49ers.

For now, Brady is content to take her as he gets her.

“It was really fun watching those games from the 50-yard line,” he said. “Although I would much rather play on the field because it’s a lot more fun down there… But just watching from above and seeing these guys play is pretty cool.”

And even if the analyst isn’t exactly thrilled with the assignments he and Burkhardt have received so far, he’s still being paid handsomely for all the time and idle chit-chat.

As The Post previously reported, Brady’s 10-year deal with Fox is worth a whopping $375 million.

Across 10 18-week seasons, that works out to $2 million per contest – enough to make even Wall Street analysts tremble in their idleness.
