NFL fans had the same complaint about Tom Brady during the highly-anticipated Kansas City Chiefs-San Francisco 49ers Week 7 clash at Levi’s Stadium.
FOX assigned Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt to a game many regarded as the best matchup of the 2024 regular season. The Chiefs and 49ers met in Super Bowl 58 just eight months ago, with Kansas City winning in overtime.
Brady’s work as an NFL analyst has received mixed reviews over the past six weeks. Today, there was no shortage of fed-up fans taking to X/Twitter to air their disappointment with his performance.
Specifically, they were complaining about Tom Brady’s constant praise of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout the contest:

Tom Brady is such a bad announcer
I feel bad for Kevin Burkhardt

The 47-year-old Brady is in the first season of a 10-year, $375 million deal he signed with FOX in 2022. The network was so high on Brady as an analyst that they had him replace the beloved Greg Olsen as the analyst on their No. 1 commentary team with Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.
Tom Brady & Patrick Mahomes Split Their Six Meetings
Fans were treated to six chapters of Brady vs. Mahomes, including the epic 2018 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl 55. Brady won those two matchups as well as the first meeting in 2018, but Mahomes also emerged victorious thrice with regular season victories in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
