Brady’s Thanksgiving surprise
NFL legend Tom Brady was the target of a playful joke on Sunday when Fox Sports host Curt Menefee during the The OT Follow-up reporting revealed that Brady would be working on Thanksgiving Day.
āDid they tell you that before you came?ā You have to work on Thanksgiving Day this year!ā neckte Menefee.
Brady, in his first year as lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports commentating on games, feigned shock:
āWas?!ā He exclaimed before laughing at it.
Foxs Thanksgiving-Tag-Spiel
Fox Sports will broadcast the New York Giants’ Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, a key rivalry in the NFC East that will now accompany Brady. Fellow analyst Michael Strahan jokingly suggested skipping work and celebrating the holiday together instead.
Brady’s transition to broadcasting
Brady’s $375 million, 10-year deal with Fox Sports was announced before his retirement in February 2023. However, his debut season was not without challenges:
- Criticism: Fans criticized his first Cowboys-Browns transfer, with Brady admitting it was a learning process:
āDefinitely there are some things that need to be improved. Itās all a learning process,ā he said on his YouTube channel. - Restrictions: Brady’s ownership stake in the Raiders prohibits him from attending team practices, meeting with coaches or criticizing game officials and clubs – key elements for most broadcasters.
Previous controversies
Brady’s new role has also sparked controversy:
- Josh Allen Comment: Brady came under fire for using the term “spaz” used to describe Bills QB Josh Allen, a word considered an ableist slur. While he experienced backlash online, Fox Sports did not discipline him.
What’s next for Brady?
Despite the challenges, Brady remains committed to perfecting his broadcasting craft while navigating the unique limitations associated with his ownership of the Raiders. Thanksgiving Day will be another opportunity for the NFL great to prove his worth in the commentary room.
