“Better Than Romo”: Tom Brady Charms Football World in First FOX Booth Role Just Days After Jersey Retirement Feat

Tom Brady excels in whatever he does! The TB12 became a legend in the gridiron and now he’s turning heads with a stint in the commentary booth.

Brady, as a commentator, will take up a new task on the back of a $375-million deal he signed with FOX. But before that, he’s already brushing up his commenting skills in the booth for the second quarter of Sunday’s UFL Championship game on FOX. And by the reactions of fans, this could be his new forte. 

On June 12, the NFL giant retired his No. 12 jersey at Gillette Stadium during the Patriots‘ Hall of Fame ceremony. Hundreds of former Patriots players, including Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, and Drew Bledsoe, were present to watch the historic event. And just five days later, he’s making it big in his post-playing career. 

Tom Brady makes FOX booth debut

The UFL on X on June 17 mentioned that Tom Brady had officially made his FOX booth debut at the UFL Championship. With his smooth speech delivery and confidence, fans were quick to laud him as a natural. One fan even compared him to former NFL QB-turned-CBS Sports analyst Tony Romo, saying, “Already better than Romo.”

As Tom Brady buckled up for his broadcasting role, he told NFL insider Tom Pelissero earlier this week, “I wanna see the game grow, I wanna see the game succeed, I wanna see it better than ever. How can I play a role in impacting that? I can give my own opinion, and if people wanna listen, great.” His debut analyses have sparked hope among fans who feel he has a natural talent for his new role. 

Fans gush at Tom Brady’s FOX debut

As the post got more views and attention, somebody commented, “Tom seems like a natural.” When it comes to football, no one would dare underestimate the NFL GOAT who knows the ins and outs of the game like the back of his hand. With his fluent narration, Tom Brady made a great first impression with another fan, who commented, “He’s sounding really great from the booth. Love it.” 

Another person lauded him, saying succinctly, “TB#12 GOAT.” While Tom Brady may at times become too focused on the game, he has promised to “cut it loose” in his role as an analyst. An excited fan gave their verdict saying, “His analyst was pretty good so far. Can’t wait to see him at the Brown vs. Cowboys game.” 

His performance today was more like practice for what’s ahead as he’ll make his first call as FOX’s No. 1 NFL analyst on September 9.
