The 2023 NFL season finale is on the queue. This season will be marked by several things including the season-ending injuries of several starting quarterbacks, the firings of some head coaches, and the sudden collapse of some big teams. Besides these, it will also be different in one aspect as it will be the first season since 1999 that NFL GOAT Tom Brady will not be playing for any team.
It is still hard to swallow that sports enthusiasts will not be likely to see Brady in action ever again. Though the quarterback sometimes teases fans with a potential comeback rumor, he is unlikely to resume play once again. However, fans can definitely witness Brady sharing his profound insights on football, as he signed a blockbuster contract with Fox News.
When will Tom Brady feature on Fox News’ NFL analyst panel?
Before announcing his retirement from professional football in February, Tom Brady made headlines with his decision to step into the realm of sports broadcasting. Fox Sports secured a groundbreaking deal with the ex-NFL star by appointing him as the network’s lead analyst.
Amid speculation surrounding his immediate transition to Fox Sports after retirement, TB12 surprised many by opting to take a hiatus from broadcasting for the 2023 season. The veteran’s decision raised questions about the timing of his much-anticipated debut on Fox News’ NFL analyst panel. However, he himself provided clarity on this matter during an episode of his Let’s Go! podcast on SiriusXM.
In the podcast, the California Cool expressed his eagerness and commitment to his upcoming role, slated to commence in September 2024. His words pointed to his determination to prepare extensively for the challenge.
“I’ve got a big broadcasting job that’s going to start in September. I’m already working hard on trying to make sure I’m ready for that opportunity, and I’m prepared mentally and emotionally for that challenge. Because it is a challenge. It’s something that’s new, it’s outside of my comfort zone. And I’m excited to get out there and try something and see how I do”, he said.
Emphasizing the significance of rigorous preparation and work ethic, Tom Terrific articulated his enthusiasm for this new phase, and illustrated his unwavering commitment to excel in this unexplored domain.
“But it’s got to be about what my preparation is and what my work ethic is. And hopefully a lot of the things that I’ve done in my career have prepared me for that. And there’s an exciting part about that for me, which when I get out of bed in the morning, man, I’m ready to go. And I wanna create a to-do list. And, OK, these are the things I’m gonna do today and this is how I ultimately want to actualize my potential in this area of my life.”
The colossal deal struck between Tom Brady and Fox Sports reportedly amounts to a staggering $375 million spread across a decade. Despite the wait until the NFL GOAT officially graces the broadcasting world, Fox Sports will continue to feature Burkhardt and Greg Olsen as the leading duo for the 2023 season. However, with Brady’s imminent entry into the fray in 2024, Olsen is expected to relinquish his position at the top booth to make room for TB12’s much-anticipated debut as the No. 1 analyst.
