This past weekend the NFL season has started, and these have been 8 of the keys of this beginning, in which the media highlights the new job of the legendary Tom Brady as a commentator… With the networks applauding and encouraging his position, although with some recommendations that we have rescued from the comments collected by USA Today about the former player.

  • Featured Rookie QB: Six rookie quarterbacks were drafted early, and three started in Week 1, including Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix. None stood out, but they have time to improve.
  • Historic win by Caleb Williams: Williams became the first No. 1 QB in 22 years to win in his debut, despite a mediocre performance.
  • Head coaches’ first games: New England’s Jerod Mayo won in his debut, while the league’s new head coaches had mixed results, with a combined record of 2-5.
  • Travis Etienne’s costly fumble: Etienne’s fumble in the third quarter was pivotal in the Miami Dolphins’ comeback.
  • Tyreek Hill’s drama: Hill faced legal problems before the game, but shined with 130 receiving yards and a long TD.
  • Dallas Cowboys dominance: the Cowboys defense excelled in the 33-17 win, overshadowing Dak Prescott’s modest stats despite his historic contract extension.
  • Josh Allen’s MVP performance: Allen led the Buffalo Bills with four total touchdowns, tying Steve Young’s record for games with multiple passing and rushing TDs.
  • Tom Brady in the booth: Brady made his broadcasting debut for Fox during the Dallas win, adding excitement to his post-playing career.

TOM BRADY’S LONG-AWAITED NEW PASS

Tom Brady made his long-awaited debut as FOX Sports’ lead commentator during the Dallas Cowboys’ 33-17 win over the Cleveland Browns. Despite his legendary playing career, his first day in the booth received mixed reactions. Brady appeared nervous, with some awkward moments of silences early on, though he became more comfortable and accurate as the game progressed. Brady himself acknowledged the transition from game to broadcast, expressing his enthusiasm for this new chapter. While many noted that he could improve, others preached patience, believing Brady would find his rhythm in time. Here’s a sample of that:

  • X user: “Tom Brady is clearly very nervous in his debut as an NFL broadcaster. It’s fun to remember that the greatest quarterback in history is still a human being after all.”
  • Gary Lezak, former Chief Meteorologist in Kansas City (on X): “Tom Brady is getting pummeled on X right now in his debut as a broadcaster. I’ve been in broadcasting for 38 years and he’s a rookie on his first day. I can tell he’s very nervous, and it’s not something that will get better instantly. He will improve a lot, so give him a little leeway. And let’s see how he improves over the next few weeks.”
  • Another user X: “Tom Brady looks uncomfortable in the booth. Dead moments and awkward exchanges. Not what I expected from the GOAT.”
  • Another fan’s comment on social media: “Brady as QB? The best. Brady as a broadcaster? Let’s just say he needs to learn.”
    And another social media user: “I think Brady is going to get better, but wow, that was tough at first. Nerves got the best of him.”
  • Comment from another fan on X: “Who knew the telecast would make Tom Brady nervous? He’ll get better, but it’s weird to see him not be perfect for once.”
