NFL fans had the same complaint about Tom Brady during his debut as an analyst for FOX Sports on Sunday in Cleveland.
The 47-year-old Tom Brady officially began the 10-year, $375 million deal he signed with FOX Sports in 2022. He worked the Cleveland Browns-Dallas Cowboys game alongside new partners Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.
Brady received mixed reviews in his debut as an NFL analyst. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was noticeably but understandably nervous and sometimes struggled to complete sentences throughout the contest.
And this awkward exchange with rules analyst Mike Pereira in the booth didn’t help matters:

On social media, fans also shared one frequent complaint about Tom Brady. They felt as though he lacked general excitement and seemed to be bored out of his mind throughout the game
I’m thoroughly unimpressed with Tom Brady’s debut as nfl announcer. Hopefully he improves.
Zero gravitas. It’s like the GOAT is a different person than this guy. Never been more bored.
