To use a Charles Barkley analogy, Tom Brady was a bus rider, not a bus driver, on his first Super Bowl telecast. Fox Sports brought him along for the trip for this championship. http://dlvr.it/THtrFP - ThreadSky

I want to know why no one is talking about his horrible cheek fillers and Botox?

chacespillman.bsky.social•43 days ago

My mom kept saying he looked like a greek god... i couldn't stop looking at the plastic surgery...

😆😆😆😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
*laughs like Cartmen*

We were so tired of all of his constant talk about his super bowls. Maybe it was the other announcer setting it up for him, but it was obnoxious.

Terrible. God it was painful.

nflmemewar.bsky.social•43 days ago

I love his LFG awards lol

julian-swearengin.bsky.social•43 days ago

I think Andrew got it wrong. Tok delivered insights that no other person on Earth could have equalled. Period. #hatersgonnahate

theterencep.bsky.social•43 days ago

He was reminiscing on his own career for the last 30 minutes of the broadcast...

My put in a back up when you have the the best on your team already, just sitting on the bench? Greg Olsen!

thenotoriousstg.bsky.social•43 days ago

I don't think one extra viewer tuned in saying "Oh, Tom Brady's on the game?"

edb2.bsky.social•43 days ago

No Frank Gifford.

Cringey. My 22 year old said "everytime he says Patrick should be a drinking game"
Unprofessional

nhinca.bsky.social•43 days ago

He's just bad at this. Not everyone has a feel for this role and Brady was forced upon us without earning the spot.

milehigh720.bsky.social•43 days ago

Agreed - and the comments defending it asking for patience because he’s learning are baffling.

eumoirous.bsky.social•43 days ago

Sometimes less is more Tom

shaolinmonkee.bsky.social•43 days ago

Greg, being far superior at this job, would have killed it.

web-da-boi.bsky.social•43 days ago

I thought he did fine. It’s a big, big moment and he’s clearly growing into the chair. Speaking from experience, it is so difficult (even with media training) to build chemistry and speak (almost) continuously for 3 hours. I’m looking forward to seeing how he develops next season.

spacecatwrangler.bsky.social•43 days ago

Being the cc for the biggest stage of the season is not where you find your legs. Start at the bottom and work on your craft like everyone else who isn’t immediately good at it.

scottloose.bsky.social•43 days ago

He needs to dial back the makeup. Yikes.

gmanv001.bsky.social•43 days ago

He’s awful.

mulligan99.bsky.social•43 days ago

Nobody watches the game for the announcers. Get over yourself, dumbass Fox executives.

ushijiminy.bsky.social•43 days ago

all he did was compare himself to mahomes. I’m genuinely convinced that was the only player name he knew.

rajivv2121.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'm all for Tom Brady hate but this is a bit much to bring in Charles's bus rider comment 😆

I feel like commentating will get easier for him. Although it's clear he didn't have the inherent skill to be a good commentator
