**New York, NY** – Tom Brady’s highly anticipated debut as a color commentator for FOX’s NFL broadcasts received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. While the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s legendary athletic prowess is undeniable, his first foray into the broadcasting world was marked by some awkward moments.
“It’s been quite a journey,” Brady said, appearing slightly nervous, in his first on-screen moment with partner Kevin Burkhardt.
During the Dallas Cowboys vs. Cleveland Browns Week 1 matchup, viewers noted Brady’s occasional pauses and slow delivery, leading many to comment on his seemingly nervous demeanor.
“He’s still figuring it out,” Brady himself acknowledged, acknowledging the newness of his role.
Some viewers also criticized Brady’s analysis, describing it as pedestrian. One notable awkward moment occurred when Brady attempted a fist bump with officiating expert Mike Pereira, who didn’t notice, prompting Brady to jokingly ask, “Don’t leave me hanging?”
Despite the initial rough patches, Brady’s performance improved as the game progressed, and fans remain optimistic about his future in broadcasting.
“It may have been a choppy start, but things will smooth out,” commented one fan.
Brady’s massive 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX reflects the network’s high hopes for the legendary quarterback’s broadcasting career. With time and experience, Brady’s undeniable football knowledge and charisma are likely to translate well to the commentator’s booth.
