There was a brief moment when I thought "wow he's not as annoying as usual", then I realized they had cut to commercial

Tom is clearly an alien which explains how he was able to play so well for so long but his human suit is starting to breakdown.

I'm deaf so I watch the dialogue via CC as the game unfolded.

I honestly couldn't tell the difference from what TB was saying compared to a half dozen other commentators (except when he was talking about his own SBs).

They all blend together.

finrodthefelagund.bsky.social•133 days ago

He is so boring as an announcer

roamingbearsfan.bsky.social•133 days ago

Brady is awful.

trying-doing.bsky.social•133 days ago

He doesn’t look well

huntoon23.bsky.social•133 days ago

He sounded like those announcers that ESPN throws at us for the random Sunbelt game.

colleenmaryhelen.bsky.social•133 days ago

Short answer - he talks about himself WAY too much, and simply talks too much!

jj617.bsky.social•133 days ago

Completely disagree this was his best game by far he actually seemed relaxed and himself. I usually can’t stand him yesterday was a pleasant surprise

trumpistheworst.bsky.social•133 days ago

...and he talked too much.

hillbillygandalf.bsky.social•133 days ago

Threw a nice spiral, unimaginative at life.

dazedjosh.bsky.social•132 days ago

Is it just me or is Brady starting to look like The Cryptkeeper?

coolbutrude2.bsky.social•133 days ago

Because he is an NPC. Completely devoid of human-ness.

lakers-lover.bsky.social•133 days ago

But at least he looked super fucking weird

edb2.bsky.social•133 days ago

Tom Trump.

fugitivepope.bsky.social•133 days ago

He definitely exceeded my expectations.

conscientiousice.bsky.social•133 days ago

Why is he in the booth?

kwekua.bsky.social•132 days ago

Worst analyst of all time. Just collecting hefty paycheck

late-city-final.bsky.social•133 days ago

I synched-up Kevin Harlan on Westwood One to
my TV for the game. A pleasure.

whatupdoe1975.bsky.social•133 days ago

I was so sick of talking about how Tom Brady was this that and the other when he's just a commentator you would think he was on the field in the past present and future and my home's the champion lost. Only in maga world where you can you'll be president and have a felony. And make it okay.

spraynstarch.bsky.social•133 days ago

His face was the real talking point

thebertalert.bsky.social•133 days ago

But I don’t need a bunch of hoop and holler, I’m here for the game and didn’t mind him one bit. WAY more appreciate Brady vs romo or collinsworth sucking the soul outta Mahomes for 3 hours

cynthianevil.bsky.social•133 days ago

He’s all surface, no depth.
He can talk about his personal experiences (and boy, does he), but putting himself aside to discuss only the game he’s calling seems beyond him.

mhaberman00.bsky.social•133 days ago

I thought the late game discussion about how he never got over the losses was really interesting, and sort of sad

mpayne2k.bsky.social•133 days ago

This pic is so unflattering, he looks like he needs to sit on the toilet.

fillmorenorth.bsky.social•133 days ago

All he added was a lot of talking about himself.
