Re: "$30 something million as a color commentator"

Brady will quickly wear out his welcome on Live TV.

He lacks emotional energy and originality as a public speaker.

Throwing the football, and talking about football, are two completely different skill sets.

Could be.
Romo was a middle of the road QB, but maybe the best commentator in a long time.

Joe Montana was the best QB ever, until Brady came along. He looked like a deer in the headlights when he was hired as a TV commentator.

I would think that Fox did some serious market research/screen tests, etc before they signed a contract for $375 million for ten years.

The question is are they going to get rid of Howie, Terry, Gronk off of the desk ?
Most likely Terry. One of those OLD white guys has got to give up his seat.

“Throwing the football, and talking about football, are two completely different skill sets.”

You might be right, but I think you’re forgetting that Brady has run every QB meeting for the last 20 years. That’s a lot of talking, that’s a lot of analysis.
