Tom Brady is set to join Peyton Manning and several other former NFL quarterbacks in the broadcasting world this year.
Brady, who won seven Super Bowls during his playing career, is set to join the FOX NFL booth this fall. He will be part of FOX’s No. 1 announcing team, alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
The former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback has reportedly been seeking advice from a lot of people, including Manning. His former playing rival does his own Monday Night Football broadcast with his brother, Eli.
However, Peyton Manning didn’t have any advice to give Brady. He explained why.
“He’s reached out to me for advice,” Manning told The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand. “I said, ‘Tom, I watch football from my neighbor’s garage on Monday nights. I’m not sure I’m worthy of being called for advice for what you’re about to do.”
Manning isn’t wrong.
What Brady is going to do – calling the biggest NFL games of the week in the booth with Kevin Burkhardt – is a lot different than what Peyton Manning does each week on ESPN.
Still, it’s good to see that Brady is reaching out to a lot of people about advice for his upcoming broadcasting career.
