Tom Brady Responds to Report Saying He May Not Call NFL Games for Fox Sports

Former Buccaneers' QB, Tom Brady, responded to a report he may not be fully invested in calling NFL games for Fox via Instagram.

Tom Brady officially retired as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer in February after spending 23 years in the league. The next venture for Brady hasn't been announced yet, but around the time of his first retirement and then un-retirement it was announced that he signed a lucrative 10-year, $375 million deal to broadcast NFL games with Fox starting in 2024.

However, last week, New York Post sports media insider, Adam Marchand put the odds out that Tom Brady actually calls NFL games at "49%" - citing the GOAT's infamous work ethic and the ability to be a larger part in his children's lives now that he is retired "for good".

Sports Illustrated subsequently posted the story via their Instagram, which Brady clearly didn't take to as evidenced by his comment on the post.

Brady was quick to suggest that this report from Marchand was "Fake News" - a popular phrase since the emergence of cancel culture whenever it is suggested that the news is false.

Tom Brady is set to take the 2023 NFL season off from broadcasting. He will spend more time with his family and it's almost certain that he will dive into more business opportunities with all his extra free time and prepare for his next step in his football career - broadcasting.

Following the year off, it is expected that Brady will in fact hit the airwaves on Fox in 2024. In the meantime, Greg Olson will continue to call NFL games for Fox alongside Kevin Burkhardt.

“I think for me, I want to be great at what I do and even talking last week with the people at Fox Sports and the leadership there allowing me to start my Fox opportunity in the fall of 2024 is something that’s great for me,” Brady told Colin Cowherd. “So I’ll take some time to really learn, become great at what I want to do, and become great at thinking about the opportunity and making sure I don’t rush into anything.”
