Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady revealed his one complaint over the beginning to his FOX Sports broadcasting career.
Brady said he would've preferred to call less blowouts during his first seven games as the network's lead NFL analyst during an appearance on the Let's Go! podcast, which he previously hosted with veteran journalist Jim Gray and now also includes his former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, as well as veteran journalist Peter King and All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders, the franchise Brady was recently approved to have purchased an ownership stake in.
“All these games I’ve gone into — I’ve done seven games now, I’ve had six blowouts, essentially, and the home team has only won one game,” Brady said.
FOX Sports' A-squad of Brady and play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt followed the Dallas Cowboys during Weeks 1-3, with the first two resulting in a blowout win and loss for the Cowboys. The seven-time Super Bowl champion also covered the Week 4 game in which his last team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 33-16, as well as the Detroit Lions' 47-9 win against the Cowboys in Week 6 and the Kansas City Chiefs' 28-18 road win against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
Brady's lone close matchup came in Week 5 when the Arizona Cardinals defeated the 49ers, 24-23, at Levi's Stadium. Brady is the NFL's all-time passing leader for yards (84,520) and touchdowns (624), as well as quarterback wins (243), among numerous other records.
