NEW YORK — If at some point during his Wednesday retirement announcement, it would not have been surprising if Tom Brady said: “And now it’s on to my next adventure as an analyst for Fox Sports!”
Yet Brady never mentioned what apparently is his TV future. It’s no secret that in May 2022 Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced the network had signed Brady to fill the seat of Troy Aikman who split to ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” where he was eventually joined by his veteran partner Joe Buck. Brady’s Fox contract is reportedly worth $375 million over 10 years.
For that kind of “retirement” scratch, and a primo gig, it would have also been appropriate for Brady to alert the Free World of his next stop, a TV destination. Unless he’s having second thoughts about working as Fox’s No. 1 game analyst. Or unless Brady is not sure he’s ready to start the gig next season.
