Pat McAfee has become one of the biggest voices in all of football, especially with the success of the ‘Pat McAfee Show’. The former NFL star has turned himself into a sensation on the internet with his viral takes and breaking news coverage. But while McAfee has always maintained a steady relationship with the top athletes across sports, he did not hesitate to take a shot at Tom Brady on his latest episode. 

Ever since Tom Brady retired earlier this year, there has been heavy speculation about what the QBs next move will be. From his business ventures to his investments in sports team ownership, a lot of possibilities have been floated. At the top of the list, however, remains Brady’s upcoming role as an analyst for Fox Sports. But Pat McAfee took to his show to provide a chilling reality check to Brady and his fans.

Pat McAfee has solidified himself as one of the most prominent voices in the world of sports. So when Pat says something, people definitely listen. On the latest episode of his self-titled show, McAfee made a big statement as he called out Tom Brady over Brady’s own podcast. Referring to Brady’s ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast, McAfee and his cohosts called out the failure of the show for its fans and ratings. 

That Tom Brady podcast really led me into thinking, there is a chance like, you can have the greatest of all time, in the biggest sport of all time, during the season of the biggest season of all time, and next to nothing come out of it somehow,” McAfee said on the show. 

Pat and his cohosts would go on to talk about the disheveled nature of the podcast, as it would garner significantly less attention than a podcast starring Tom Brady, in perhaps his last season as an NFL player, would have been expected to garner. The podcast would release its final episode at this point, after Brady’s retirement announcement, which would effectively end the show after just 23 episodes.

While the disappointment from the final outcome of the show still persists, McAfee didn’t stop there, as he continued with another major reality check for Brady and his fans.

As the panel continued their discussion about Brady, a major point of contention was Brady’s upcoming role as an NFL analyst. After Tom Brady signed a $375 Million contract with Fox Sports to join their team as an analyst starting next year, many were excited to see Brady on the big screen again, albeit in a different suit than usual.

But while many fans have been expecting that Brady will be relaxing in the lead-up to his role as an analyst following his retirement, McAfee had to give everyone a stern reality check. Correcting his fellow panelists who pointed out Brady’s ‘laid back’ nature in retirement, McAfee claimed that Brady is definitely tirelessly working for his TV appearance. 

“What do you think Brady’s doing this year? He’s just studying on how to be the best color commentator in the history of color commentating?” asked Mcafee.

Given the 7x Super Bowl obsessively competitive nature and his perfectionist attitude which has led him to unbelievable success, it’s easy to imagine Brady ardently preparing to make sure he resumes his status as the GOAT in whichever field he enters. While Brady continues to spend time with his family following his divorce, we look forward to seeing the return of Tom Terrific to our TV screens.
