Tom Brady and his impact on the game of football will never be forgotten. The seven-time Super Bowl champion finally walked away from the playing field at the end of the 2022 season. Brady began his post-playing career by engaging in a protracted battle to win a minority ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders.
All the while, Brady has prepared to put on the headset for the first time as an NFL Broadcaster, and he will step into the FOX booth to replace Greg Olsen this fall, a move that some have questioned. His first appearance in the FOX booth came on Sunday afternoon for the UFL Championship.
Tom Brady’s First FOX Booth Appearance
Joining Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt in the FOX booth for Sunday’s UFL Championship, Brady offered fans the first glimpse into his broadcasting style once he graces their living rooms for this Fall and the 2024 NFL Season:

While it was a brief appearance, the NFL Legend did offer solid insight into the current action going on, in which the Birmingham Stallions used a dominant second half to claim the UFL’s first championship by defeating the San Antonio Brahmas 25-0. Suffice it to say, however, an outpouring of reactions came in from fans, who re-invigorated jokes from the Legend’s Netflix roast in early May.
Fan Reactions To Tom Brady’s First Outing In The FOX Booth
A few fans offered opinions on Brady’s choice to specifically work on Father’s Day (while it should be noted that Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt are also fathers):
tom brady working on fathers day is actually so funny to me. like what was the whole point of retirement? if it was Week 1 NFL thats fine. UFL really?

Brady has three kids at home that he could be spending father’s day with. Instead he is calling a UFL game. This is so weird to me. He definitely doesn’t need the money.

Others poked fun at Brady’s face:
He needs to stop getting his face done. C’mon, man.

Brady will join FOX’s lead man Kevin Burkhardt in the booth for the first time on September 10th when the Dallas Cowboys travel to Cleveland to play the Browns at 4:25 PM.
