1. I laid out the dilemma Fox faces now that Tom Brady has retired from the NFL in yesterday’s Traina Thoughts. Brady signed a contract last year with Fox to become its lead NFL analyst when he retires, but Greg Olsen, who he would replace in Fox’s No. 1 booth, has emerged as a fan favorite who has excellent chemistry with play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt.
The plan was for Olsen to go back to the No. 2 crew once Brady was ready for the booth, but that will put a target on Brady’s back, since Olsen has become popular and paid his dues.
The other twist in all this is that while he signed a contract, there has been speculation that Brady might have changed his mind about becoming an NFL broadcaster.
