Tom Brady taking streaming tips from IShowSpeed—Is this the future of sports legends?

Tom Brady is back with a new endeavor beyond his gridiron days. The former Patriots QB Brady has launched his new YouTube channel where you can catch up with him for a look behind his post-retirement days. Attending the Fanatics Fest with other athletes and internet personalities, Brady was seen taking advice from popular YouTuber IShowSpeed about beginning his journey.

Speaking with Speed, Brady asked the internet sensation for tips on running a YouTube channel, to which he replied, “He got to start streaming all right.” Well, Speed didn’t stop there as he went on to explain the path the seven-time Super Bowl winner could follow. Speed added, “What’s up with the Tom Brady, fans? Man, this is crazy. Tom Brady starting YouTube. Hey, you need to start streaming playing fortnite doing IRL streams using passes IRL streaming in New Zealand. You need to be streaming Bro.” 

While the almost 28 million-subscribed YouTuber remained adamant about getting Brady into streaming from his YouTube channel, he even offered the fifteen-time Pro Bowler the chance to collaborate with him. Both Brady and Speed reside in Miami, thereby presenting an opportunity to make a YouTube video together, to which Speed cited, “Okay, we live in the same city, we are probably 15 minutes away, so look. We need to be on there and make a YouTube video.”

However, Brady has already uploaded his first YouTube video titled Last Week with Tom. He even took to Instagram to announce the launch of his channel while sharing a sneak peek behind his Las Vegas adventure. Meanwhile, in a separate video, Brady explained the purpose behind starting his YouTube journey, stating, “All these cool things that I get a chance to do and I get a chance to experience, it’s hard to show you guys those things on 10-second social clips. That’s why we’re doing some of this longer stuff, and I’m going to bring you guys along with me. And I hope you guys really enjoy it.” 

This wouldn’t be his only new experience for Brady after hanging up his cleats. Soon, he will be joining the Fox Sports broadcasting team for a life behind the microphone.

The ex-Patriots QB would soon be seen at the Gillette Stadium recently, but this time, instead of joining the action, he would be calling it from above. Signing a 10-year $375 million contract with Fox Network, Brady would be replacing ex-NFL player Greg Olsen in the studio. However, this experience would be completely different from his gridiron glories.

Have an interesting take?

Joe Theismann, a renowned QB turned broadcaster, expressed his thoughts about Brady’s first season behind the microphone, stating, “Tom is very knowledgeable about the game of football, but there have been lots of knowledgeable former players that didn’t make it in the broadcasting realm.” It seems like Theismaan has issued a warning to the five-time MVP regarding the chances of succeeding as a broadcaster.

However, he also added a piece of advice for the QB, citing, “Be Tom Brady, don’t try and be somebody else. That, to me, would be the biggest and best piece of advice.” Well, Brady has already taken strides by surprising fans who watched his superlative remarks with Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports “The Herd.”

Watching the clip back, you can see Tom breaking down plays whenever he gets the ball while passing it to the best players early. But Theismann has asked his fans to maintain patience with the QB by not judging him early. He must understand the broadcasting business as he did during his illustrious NFL career. As fans, we can just wait and watch Brady call the Week 1 game on September 8 in the game between the Cowboys and Browns for the first time.
