Brady’s debut comes after signing a lucrative 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox, making him one of the highest-paid commentators in sports history. Bayless, for his part, gave him some advice on how to do the job, as seen in a pair of tweets he posted on his official X account.
“If Tom Brady is going to work as lead analyst, he’ll have to let loose some of the Psycho Tom in him, the real Tom, not this “nice guy” image he’s always projected to the public. He can be sarcastically, piercingly insightful … off camera. We need a little Roast-ending Tom,” Bayless shared.
“It’s just one half … but so far, as I feared, Tom Brady has been too much aw-shucks, gee-whiz Capt. Obvious. So far The GOAT as a player has not been able to translate it into enlightening GOAT broadcast insight. But … he’s just getting started,” he added.
Despite the mixed reviews, many believe Brady will eventually find his footing in this new role. As he gains experience, it’s expected that he will become more comfortable and engaging as an announcer. Observers pointed out that his voice showed more confidence as the game progressed, suggesting a positive trajectory for his broadcasting career.
