NBA legend turned analyst Charles Barkley joined Brady a couple of days back on his podcast, ‘Let’s Go!’ With Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald. The quarterback expressed his admiration for Barkley as an honest analyst. While talking about his plans for a second career on TV, Brady gave an insight into his approach to the job. “I just feel like there’s probably more Johnny Miller in me,” added TB12. “Where when I used to watch him on golf telecasts, it was just scathing sometimes.” While he cleared up that he does not want to be negative, but he feels teams lose more games than they win in the NFL due to questionable plays. Further crediting former HC Belichick for this lesson. “Belichick taught this to me a lot.”
Tom Brady is seeing a lot of bad plays these days
According to the seven-time Super Bowl winner, teams have a better chance of winning if they do not screw up because the other team will. And he won’t let these plays slide. The GOAT admitted he would be more critical in his second career than he is right now. “When I watch football now, the only thing I see — nine out of 10 it’s, ‘Man, that was a really bad play’.” Explained Brady. “As opposed to the ‘Wow, the spectacular play that [Patrick] Mahomes made or the spectacular play that Josh Allen made.”

When the player retires, he already has a 10-year $375 million deal with FOX lined up. However, the deal will only kick in after the retirement of the quarterback. And currently, no one knows when that will happen. But sooner than later, players in the league can expect their plays to be highlighted by the GOAT himself.
