Tom Brady

Fox announced this morning that Tom Brady will become its lead NFL analyst once he actually retires from playing. The beauty of this column being called Traina ...

- For months, I have said over and over on the SI Media Podcast that it made no sense at all that Fox would let Buck and Aikman leave after they were with Fox for so long and were thought of by many people as the best booth in the game. It worked in a major way for Tony Romo and CBS. It was a disaster for ESPN and Jason Witten. It was rough for Drew Brees and NBC. But personally, I don’t see how Brady isn’t anything but a smash success in this role. Fox said in its statement today that not only will Brady call games for the network, but he will be “an ambassador for Fox.” My point in taking the victory lap? I just don’t see Brady failing in the role. - The other huge winner is Kevin Burkhardt. Just a few months ago, Burkhardt was Fox’s No. 2 play-by-play caller. What may be even more important for Fox is that it will have someone who is a celebrity just as much as he is a football player on the broadcasts. Was Fox mad that Aikman’s representatives were in negotiations with Amazon? No one would ever admit that, but it sure sounds that way. I’ll be professional and save my victory lap for the end. - The biggest winner here, obviously, is Fox. It will have the greatest quarterback of all time calling its games. Brady’s Fox salary hasn’t been leaked yet (I’m sure Andrew Marchand will have it sooner rather than later), but you can be assured it’s massive. His appearance this past season on the ManningCast was excellent.

Parece que Brady puede seguir jugando todo el tiempo que quiera, pero entrará en un "acuerdo a largo plazo" con FOX como analista de transmisión una vez que decida retirarse. El exmariscal de campo de los New England Patriots se unirá al locutor de jugada por jugada Kevin Burkhardt en el equipo principal de transmisión de FOX Sports, pero también se desempeñará como "embajador" de la cadena con un enfoque en "iniciativas promocionales y de clientes", según Murdoch. El mariscal de campo de los Tampa Bay Buccaneers, de 44 años, se unirá a FOX Sports como su principal analista de la NFL "inmediatamente después de su carrera como jugador", anunció el presidente ejecutivo y director ejecutivo de FOX, Lachlan Murdoch, el martes por la mañana en un comunicado.

NUEVA YORK (AP) — Tom Brady se integrará a Fox Sports como analista de fútbol americano una vez concluya su carrera de jugador, anunció la cadena el martes.

En 20 temporadas con el entrenador Bill Belichick en los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra ganó seis títulos del Super Bowl. Murdoch dijo que le “corresponde enteramente a Brady” cuándo decide retirarse y sumarse a Fox. Brady guio a los Buccaneers a un cetro del Super Bowl luego de la campaña de 2020 y al campeonato de la División Sur de la Conferencia Nacional la temporada pasada. No está claro cuándo ocurrirá eso porque el siete veces campeón del Super Bowl cambió recientemente de parecer sobre su retiro y decidió continuar jugando para los Buccaneers de Tampa Bay, en su 23ra campaña en la NFL.

I love the way he sees football. "But it's the way he sees football. That's what makes our relationship unique -- the way he sees football. He teamed with coach Bill Belichick to win six Super Bowls during 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. According to Roster Management System, Brady has made $302,674,250 in his career. Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced the news Tuesday during a corporate investor call.

Brady has a deal to eventually become the lead analyst during Fox broadcasts of N.F.L. games.

But in Tampa Bay he has seemed to relax, showcasing a sense of humor and comfort with the media that Fox hopes he will carry into game broadcasts. After several years of cycling through uninspiring broadcast teams for “Monday Night Football,” ESPN finally spent big this year to lure both Joe Buck and Aikman away from Fox, where they had called games for 20 years. Players, and especially quarterbacks, have been courted for decades to transition to the broadcast booth at the end of their playing careers. Mike Tirico will take over for Michaels in calling play-by-play for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” “These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady wrote. From these interactions, networks keep lists of players and coaches who they think will be good on television, and often begin aggressively courting them before their playing careers end. Speaking well during pre-game chats or five minute interviews is not the same skill set as broadcasting an entire game or talking for hours in a studio, as Witten unfortunately learned. Tony Romo immediately partnered with Jim Nantz on CBS’s top broadcast in 2017 and was a revelation with his play predicting abilities. But whenever he does retire, the Fox job will be waiting for him. Brady did announce his retirement after last season, but the decision didn’t take. But lately, former players have been immediately plugged into top broadcast teams, with mixed results. And that timing is very much unclear.

He teamed with coach Bill Belichick to win six Super Bowls during 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. Murdoch said it’s “entirely up to” Brady when he decides to retire from football and join Fox. Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title following the 2020 season and NFC South championship last season. When that actually happens is unclear, because Brady recently changed his mind about retiring and said he plans to continue playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd NFL season.

El momento exacto en que Brady se incorporará a Fox Sports, por supuesto, aún no se ha definido. Michaels dejará su puesto en "Sunday Night Football" para asumir el nuevo cargo. "En el transcurso de este acuerdo a largo plazo, Tom no solo narrará nuestros partidos más importantes de la NFL con Kevin Burkhardt, sino que también servirá como embajador para nosotros, en especial con respecto a las iniciativas promocionales y de los clientes", dijo Lachlan Murdoch, CEO de Fox Corporation, en la llamada posterior a los resultados de la compañía en la mañana de este martes.

El presidente ejecutivo de Fox, Lachlan Murdoch, anunció la noticia el martes durante una llamada de ganancias. Brady, de 44 años, se retiró brevemente a principios de esta temporada baja, pero anunció el mes pasado que había cambiado de opinión y regresará a los Tampa Bay Buccaneers para la temporada 2022. El mariscal de campo siete veces ganador del Super Bowl narrará los partido junto con el locutor principal Kevin Burkhardt y también trabajará como "embajador" para Fox con un enfoque en "iniciativas promocionales y de clientes".

El momento exacto en que Brady se incorporará a Fox Sports, por supuesto, aún no se ha definido.

Brady nearly rallied Tampa Bay to victory in last season's divisional-round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, helping the Buccaneers overcome a 27-3 second-half deficit before Rams kicker Matt Gay booted a 30-yard field goal as time expired to win 30-27. Now all he has to do is stay retired. In his first season in Tampa Bay, Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory at their home stadium.

He teamed with coach Bill Belichick to win six Super Bowls during 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. Murdoch said it’s “entirely up to” Brady when he decides to retire from football and join Fox.

When that actually happens is unclear, because Brady recently changed his mind about retiring and said he plans to continue playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 23rd NFL season.

The legendary quarterback has an unmatched amount of NFL experience, but here's hoping he'll be more honest than most ex-players who jump to announcing.

What would make Brady truly worth the hype and the adulation as a broadcaster is if he’s willing to do what he did as a player and avoid the pressure to conform. The football television wars have taught us there is a stark difference between what companies think we want and what we actually desire. What makes Brady interesting as a player are all the flash-point moments in NFL history he has been attached to and how they color his rise to league monolith. His foray into documentary filmmaking was an effort to tell his story on his terms, which often paints Brady in the familiar fairy-tale protagonist role that we’ve been fed since his humble beginnings as a sixth-round draft pick. The one who has been creeping out in moments of humility since his departure from New England. Admitting the tuck rule may have been a fumble. If you’re bored, go back and listen to a game from any point over the last 10 years featuring a team with controversy surrounding it (search for “Antonio Brown” here). Or even a team marred by a recent losing streak.

Tom Brady ya pactó para ser analista de FOX cuando se retire de la NFL y superará a Troy Aikman y Tony Romo como los mejores pagados.

A pesar de que ya firmó su contrato y se siente muy emocionado por unirse a una de las cadenas deportivas más importantes en el país. Brady aseguró que todavía tiene un camino por recorrer en el campo. Brady llegó a un millonario acuerdo de $375 millones de dólares por 10 años para convertirse en el analista principal de la cadena de FOX Sports, reemplazando al también histórico quarterback de los Dallas Cowboys, Troy Aikman. Tom Brady ya pactó para ser analista de FOX cuando se retire de la NFL y superará a Troy Aikman y Tony Romo como los mejores pagados.

Quarterback Tom Brady, though for now an active NFL player, has been confirmed as Fox Sports' lead NFL analyst.

The check-writers have justified it by pointing to the NFL’s massive and enduring popularity in a fragmenting, time-shifted media landscape. We are delighted that Tom is committed to joining the Fox team, and we wish him the best in this upcoming season.” He said in February that he would finally hang up his helmet, citing his desire to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests. The 20-year duo of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman both have left Fox for ESPN’s Monday Night Football. UPDATED with a report on the financial terms: Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is due to set another record whenever he leaves the field for good. That is up to him to make that choice when he sees fit.”

New England Patriots legend Tom Brady is making an absurd amount of money with FOX Sports for his post-career broadcasting gig.

Tony Romo and Troy Aikman’s “massive” deals with CBS and ESPN have now been lapped; combined, the two men still make less annually than Brady will whenever he joins the workforce. After years of taking discounts with the Patriots so Bill Belichick could improve the roster elsewhere, clearly Brady no longer cares about the potential effects on FOX’s payroll if he absorbs most of it with a megalith deal. TB12 has accepted a job as FOX’s lead NFL analyst alongside their top game-caller Kevin Burkhardt. And he’s apparently so interested in the position that he’s chosen to work for free!

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Erin Andrews remarked on the day's events, notably Tom Brady joining Fox Sports as the network's lead NFL analyst.

“I don’t hold it against anybody for leaving, look I left ESPN after being there for eight years and came to Fox,” she said. I can deal with a lot of things, I have dealt with a lot of things, but when I had to speak to both of those guys separately when they both had officially left, oh God I cried.” Back in March, her longtime Fox colleagues, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, exited the network for ESPN, where they’ll take over the “Monday Night Football” booth.

Fox Sports announced the deal and Brady confirmed the plans. But before he begins calling some of the biggest games, Brady said he has "unfinished business" ...

Brady took it a step further by allowing Brown to live with him like he was a wayward child instead of a serial predator. Over the last 20 years, he’s left a mist of scandals in his wake that have made him one of the more polarizing figures in sports. In Brady’s new role at Fox, he’ll automatically be the face of their NFL coverage. Brady’s career has been a real-life Picture of Dorian Gray. Brady’s moldy personality masks the toxic path he’s taken to reach these heights in his career. For all that cash, he could be a bigger bust than Jason Witten or NewsCorp’s gamble on The Magic Hour. Whenever Brady retires, whether it’s in this decade or the next, nothing will justify this lead balloon of a contract. It’s also the reasoning behind the NFL giving Monday and Sunday Night Football the option to flex games into the primetime slot during the second half of the season.
