Boomer & Gio: Tom Brady broadcasting games is ‘insanity’ and ‘100% conflict of interest’
"I guess the commissioner is really not gonna get involved in this."
"I guess the commissioner is really not gonna get involved in this."
"It's inappropriate. It's a family-friendly program."
"Not sure coach Quinn likes owners coming down on the field before the game is over."
When prompted to discuss the Lions' OC, Brady went silent.
"Wow, you called it for 10 seconds, Tom."
"It's just been a great learning experience."
"I don’t know how he can do his job at the Super Bowl adequately when he cannot be at the other teams’ practices."
"I think it's way overblown when they think the advantage that Tom could possibly gain from being in the booth or talking to these guys."
“Was there a conflict of interest of Joe Davis calling the Dodgers in the World Series?"
"I think the reality of it is that a lot of the analysts are absolutely not neutral observers."
"Tom has had a tremendous amount of fun working with Fox this year, and he’s really excited about the future with Fox and his growth on their team."
"I don’t think the NFL wants him to get out of the broadcasting booth, I think they want him there."
"I would rather him be my quarterback than on TV doing what he's doing now."
“Less is more, and I think most announcers in football have never learned that lesson."
"Of course I think I can do this better than anybody, I'm sure Troy Aikman thinks that, I'm sure Tom Brady thinks that."
"Some of the expectations were extremely high...that everyone thought he was going to come in and be the best broadcaster of all time."
"You can't sell anything with the words 'Tom Brady' on it."
"He's involved. He's Tom Brady!"
"Great hit right on the ball."
Will Brady be willing to criticize the Lions offense if need be? And what sort of access might this week afford him?
"But I've seen a quarterback eat a hot dog."
"Who was more integral to the New England Patriots’ two decades of unparalleled success?"
Gone are the days when airing teams in the largest media markets would secure the biggest audiences.
"Yes, Tom Brady is calling people up for advice and counsel because that's why he's so great at what he does ... but don't assume that because he's doing that, he wants Bill Belichick."
