Tom Brady’s got a new gig, and it’s huge! The seven-time Super Bowl champ is trading in his helmet for a headset, heading to Fox Sports as a broadcaster. But can the GOAT make the leap to the booth? His billionaire buddy, Michael Rubin, thinks so.
In a tweet from ESPN’s senior insider Adam Schefter, the Fanatics founder and CEO dropped some serious truth: Brady’s QB success will crush it in the booth, too. Rubin said it best, “There’s no person in the world that I can think of other than Tom where everything that he’s accomplished has come from his competition—how willing is competition, how hustling his competition… him winning seven Super Bowls is the same exact guy today.”
Fanatics founder and CEO @michaelrubin believes that what made Tom Brady successful as a quarterback will make him successful as a broadcaster.

The mastermind who knows a thing or two about winning is all in on Brady’s broadcasting career. “He’s up every day at 5 am… always hustling, always grinding. He’s truly special,” Rubin raved. “I think he’s gonna do incredible in the booth because… he’s confident but humble and you can see where all that success comes from.” It’s a bold claim, but Rubin’s track record says it all. This guy turned a college dropout dream into an $11.5 billion empire. So, when he says Brady’s got what it takes, we’re all ears.
After a 2023 break from football to focus more on family, the seven-time Super Bowl champ’s diving back into the action. Tom Brady’s hitting the Fox booth for the 2024 NFL season. His debut? A high-stakes Week 1 showdown between the Cowboys and Browns—one fans won’t want to miss. Brady’s pumped about covering Big D, saying, “Amazing. The Cowboys have got great storylines. Come on, Dak Prescott, let’s see if he can finally come through… um, did that just slip out?” He’s already throwing some shade, proving he’s all in for his new gig.
Brady’s prep for this next chapter ain’t just about learning the ropes; it’s about bringing his winning mindset to a new field. “I’m coming in as kind of a rookie,” the 47-year-old admitted, “but I know I’m going to work extremely hard. I still think there’s a lot to learn.” So, can the GOAT turn his on-field brilliance into killer commentary? It seems Brady’s got a pretty solid shot, with his unmatched drive and advice from a living legend.

NFL legend Joe Theismann is dropping wisdom bombs on how the former Bucs’ QB can nail it in the booth. Fresh off presenting the UFL Championship MVP trophy, Tom Brady’s already giving fans a taste of his future commentary chops. But before we get too hyped, let’s hear what Theismann—who’s been there and done that—has to say.
Theismann, a broadcasting pro with nearly 20 years on the mic, thinks Brady’s game IQ is off the charts. But he also knows that turning those smarts into compelling commentary is no walk in the park. Not many player-turned-broadcasters have stuck around long-term in the industry anyway.
