NFL fans are in stitches after the FOX Sports cameras caught another awkward moment with Tom Brady in the broadcast booth.
One week after a forgettable NFL broadcasting debut, Tom Brady delivered a much better performance in the New Orleans Saints’ stunning 44-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
It was a significant improvement from the Cowboys-Cleveland Browns Week 1 game that Brady called with Kevin Burkhardt. The 47-year-old was visibly nervous, often lacked energy and was left hanging by FOX NFL rules analyst Mike Pereira in the broadcast booth on live television:

But let’s just say that FOX executives may want to assign Dean Blandino to the broadcast booth with Brady and Burkhardt going forward. Because unlike Pereira, Blandino didn’t leave Brady hanging on live TV:

Best way to forget an embarrassing moment….? Bring it up again! Oh. And throw the other guy under the bus when he’s not there to defend himself. Cringe x 2. @Theoldp @TheDukeOfSports @janewells

Brady is now two weeks through the 10-year, $375 million contract he signed with FOX Sports during the 2022 offseason. And naturally, the seven-time Super Bowl champion will only get better and better as an analyst as he gains more experience.
The three-time league MVP, Burkhardt and Erin Andrews are set to call Super Bowl 59 on Feb. 11 in New Orleans, Louisana at the Caesars Superdome.
Tom Brady Is Back In Dallas Next Week
FOX executives just can’t help but pair the most accomplished quarterback ever with America’s Team. It was also announced earlier this week that Brady and Burkhardt will call the Cowboys’ Week 3 home game against Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens.
There is some good news for fans who are already fed up with Brady being assigned to Cowboys games! Their Week 4 road game against the New York Giants is a Thursday nighter on Amazon Prime Video, and their Week 5 road tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers will be on NBC “Sunday Night Football.”
