“It’s The Equivalent of Michael Jordan or Lebron James Joining TNT.” NFL HOFer Says Tom Brady Coming To Fox is a ‘Monumental’ Event

It looks like the fans will see the last ride of Tom Brady in the NFL. Now, FOX Sports has got its hands on the GOAT as an analyst after his playing days are over. As exciting as it sounds, FOX’s own Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless cite this moment as ‘Monumental’ in their terms.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback came from his brief 40-day retirement stint to officially ‘run it back’ to deal with some ‘unfinished business’. We don’t know when Tom Brady’s dazzling quarterback profession will run its course, but we really understand precisely what he’ll do next to it really does.

During the Undisputed: Skip and Shannon talk show, Jenny Taft asks Shannon Sharpe how excited he is to have Tom Brady on the FOX on NFL team. Their response has been glowing towards Brady. Both Skip and Shannon believe he will join them in Undisputed as well. They welcome the 7-time Champ to the team with open arms.

Host Sharpe mentions, “It’s huge. It’s monumental. It’s the equivalent of Michael Jordan saying he was joining TNT or LeBron James joining because we’ve never seen a guy this popular and this accomplished about to step in to do what he’s doing now. We don’t know what it is. It might be next year. It might be three years from now, but we just know he’s going to be in front of the FOX umbrella.”

Even Skip Bayless, who’s a vocal Tom Brady supporter, also drops in his thoughts in a sarcastic way. We got him, and I’m so excited to get him on the show. Bayless mocks his co-host that if Brady arrives here, he has to skip work for the day. He’ll handle it all by himself.

What is FOX Sports’ agreement with Tom Brady?

Brady has consented to a mega contract with FOX and will be the network’s lead NFL analyst when he steps down, according to Fox Sports: NFL on Twitter. Brady’s contract is worth $375 million over ten years, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. Brady will strive to operate with Kevin Burkhardt after his pro-football career ends.

FOX is known to have prominent HOFers in their broadcast booth. However, when ESPN brought in Troy Aikman from FOX, the remaining big thing for the broadcast will be Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen. While the former Carolina Panther continues to make himself prominent in the booth, it will truly be Tom Brady who might become the BAT (Best Analyst of All Time).
