Tom Brady has a job as lead analyst for NFL games on Fox when he decides to retire. But will he be an upgrade from Greg Olsen?​

 

[Bearly]

The answer is nope.

The answer is nope.

I don't think Tom Brady would be a good announcer but you don't know until he actually does it.

I dion't expect him to be bad at it because he'll work to be good but Olsen is still getting better as well.

I'm glad they are getting these new guys in though hopefully it kicks some of the older guys into retirement like Joe Buck, Cris Collinsworth, Al Michaels.

Jay Cutler would of made a good announcer in my opinion.

I just want more of the senile crew on Fox pre/post game.

Terry Bradshaw should end each segment with a confused shart.

Joe Buck and Al Michaels are not color guys...so not gonna happen due to Greg Olsen.

I still think Jay Cutler would have been a hilarious color commentator.

 

[Speed]

I think it'll come pretty natural to Brady. He's a vocal leader, and he knows the game. I can't say if he'll be an "upgrade" though.

Wait, so Troy Aikman is "color?" That's funny. 100% of the time, I can't tell if Joe is talking with Troy's penis in his mouth or if Troy is talking with Joe's dong in his? They are both one terrible announcer at this point.

I DVR any game I am planning on watching. When I replay the game, I don't watch any pregame show, sideline reports, halftime show, post-game show and I fast forward (my button is set at 30 seconds) to the next play. So, I rarely ever even hear a full sentence from the announcers. I can blow through a game in 40 minutes, or less. I don't turn the sound off because I do like the crowd noise. The announcers are geared towards the casual viewer, so they rarely even say anything that I don't already know. No genius here, I just have been a fan for a long time.

For those of us out of market and without Direct TV, the NFL offers condensed replay games after broadcast which strips away all of that if you're ever annoyed with the manual process. For a fee, of course.

I've heard Brady's show on SiriusXM NFL a couple of times and he's capable of doing the announcer thing but it's not like he's going to add a whole new dimension to the game.

On a loosely related note, does anyone else think Romo has gotten worse? He was pretty entertaining when he started announcing but now comes across tongue tied and sounding like he might be drunk.

I think Al Michaels retires soon. He is bored and disinterested and it shows in his work.

 

[TheWinman]

I thnk Brady wil be good at it as he will put the work i it to make sure he;s good. Unlike Romo who has had gotten lazy doing his homework since hes gotten paid.

 

[Aquineas]

My bad, I guess I misunderstood the meaning of the term color commentator. I was thinking "the color guy" was the John Madden-type and the announcer was the Pat Summerall type.

With regards to Romo, I have often wondered if someone told him to stop predicting plays lol. When I have watched him, he doesn't seem to do that anymore. It was pretty uncanny when he was though. Though it does make me wonder, what better person to hire as a defensive coordinator or defensive play-caller than a former QB...

Who really knows until he's done it?

Right that's what I'm saying.
