Tom Brady’s football journey is far from over! But this time, it’s from the safety of the booth, not the field. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has traded his cleats for a microphone, officially starting his new gig as a color commentator for Fox Sports. And, surprise, surprise-he’s loving every minute of it.
In his debut appearance, Brady broke down the Cowboys-Browns game alongside broadcasting veteran Kevin Burkhardt. His transition from quarterback to commentator has been almmost seamless, and it’s no shocker that the G.O.A.T. brought his A-game to the booth. Even if he got mixed reviews after it.
Post-game, Brady opened up about his first experience in the booth, saying that it was a bit strange to be in a stadium and not out on the field. “It’s different,” he admitted, “I’ve spent so many years using my arm, my body, pushing myself physically. Now, it’s all about using my voice and analyzing the game. I might wake up tomorrow and toss a few passes just to feel like myself again.”

But let’s get real-what excites Brady the most about this new chapter in his life? Not the thrill of breaking down plays or dissecting defenses, but something way more personal: no more post-game pain. Brady, who was sacked a staggering 565 times during his career, is more than happy to finally leave behind the bruises and soreness that came with every Monday morning after a grueling Sunday.

And who better to remind him of this newfound relief than his former rival, Michael Strahan? In a pregame chat, Strahan, who once tormented Brady as a defensive end, couldn’t help but crack a joke. “You know what’s great about this job? You’re not gonna wake up sore tomorrow.”Brady laughed, admitting, “That’s one thing I’m really looking forward to.”
No more ice baths or chiropractor appointments for TB12. Brady’s biggest physical challenge now? Probably finding a comfortable position in his commentary chair. And you better believe he’s thrilled about it.
Next week, Brady will be back in action, this time at State Farm Stadium as he covers the Arizona Cardinals hosting the St. Louis Rams. But this time, instead of dodging defensive linemen, he’ll be calling the shots from the booth-sore-free, relaxed, and ready to bring fans his unique perspective.
So, while we might miss seeing Brady on the field, it’s clear he’s found a new calling that excites him just as much-without all the physical toll. Looks like the G.O.A.T. is still winning, just in a different way.
