Tom Brady Finally Drops Truth Bomb On Fox Football Broadcast, And People Love It

Posted on September 18, 2024 - 8:40 am by

Tom Brady got brutally frank about a Dallas Cowboys receiver who slipped in a game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday ― and it was the moment many fans had been waiting for. (Check out the video below.)

The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback signed a $375 million contract with Fox Sports to provide insight in his capacity as perhaps the greatest QB ever. But he understandably struggled last week in his debut behind the microphone.

In week two, however, he let viewers know exactly how he would have treated Dallas’ Jalen Brooks after he fell on his pass route, allowing the ball to be easily intercepted during an eventual 44-19 Saints victory.

Play-by-play partner Kevin Burkhardt asked Brady if he’d throw to Brooks again to build his confidence, and the ex-Patriot and Buccaneer star didn’t mince words.



“Not today,” Brady said. “It’s actually pretty tough to go back there, because you know where he’s at, and you’re saying, ‘God, I’m going to him and I just can’t count on him that he’s gonna stay on his feet.’ You obviously trust him to do the right thing. But can he make the play?”

After tepid reviews and an awkward fist bump with a colleague in week one, Brady scored big with his candor.
