NFL fans had the same complaint about Tom Brady during the Dallas Cowboys-Baltimore Ravens game at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt were on the call for a third straight Cowboys game, having also called their Week 1 (at Cleveland Browns) and Week 2 (vs. New Orleans Saints) contests.
Brady’s performance as an NFL analyst has been met with mixed reviews up to this point. He received immense criticism in Week 1 but drew far more favorable reviews in the Cowboys-Saints game last week.
But on Sunday, fans were back to (mostly) criticizing Tom Brady for a lackluster performance in Week 3. Specifically, they were complaining about Brady’s strange habit of talking about himself aplenty today:
Is it just me or has Tom Brady made this entire Ravens-Cowboys game about himself

Can Tom Brady talk about the actual game he is covering rather than just talking about himself?

I honestly didn’t think Tom Brady could be any worse at announcing a football game until he started relieving his good old days and making the show all about himself. #BALvsDAL

Someone get Tom Brady a new job. He is still so damn full of himself.

@NFLonFOX I find it very difficult listening to #TomBrady because he’s just so full of himself ? #GregOlsen is much better!!!!!

Sorry but Tom Brady is just not bringing anything as a commentator. They could’ve gotten the same level of insight without spending a gazillion dollars

Nothing better than watching a miserable Cowboys game while listening to Tom Brady talk about himself win super bowls. This sucks so bad

If you want to listen to Tom Brady talk about himself endlessly, just tune into any game he’s broadcasting.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion is in the first of a 10-year, $375 million contract he signed with FOX Sports in 2022 before his final NFL season. Brady took last year off of football before commencing his broadcasting career two weeks ago.
Brady and Burkhardt will be on the call for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Caesars Superdome on Feb. 11.
Tom Brady Will Be In Tampa Bay Next Week
Fortunately for the fans who are fed up with Brady calling Dallas Cowboys games, he’ll finally get a break from America’s Team in Week 4. The Cowboys are visiting the New York Giants on “Thursday Night Football”, which will be called by Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit on Amazon Prime Video.
Today, it was confirmed that Brady and Burkhardt will be in Tampa Bay next Sunday to call the Buccaneers’ home game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brady, of course, spent his final three years with the Bucs and led them to a Super Bowl 55 championship in the 2020 campaign.
