Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady had an awkward on-air interview with FOX Sports colleague Joel Klatt today, suggesting he may not be fully prepared for his broadcasting debut tomorrow.
Tom Brady will make his long-awaited debut for FOX Sports on Sunday in Cleveland, when the Browns host the Dallas Cowboys in their season opener. Brady is on the network’s top team with Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.
Klatt interviewed the seven-time Super Bowl Champion and Michigan alumni during the Wolverines’ home game against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday. At the end of the interview, a confused-looking Brady left Klatt hanging by failing to acknowledge his thank you message.
Klatt awkwardly waited for Brady’s response before ending the segment himself:
Not sure if it was nerves or potentially an audio mishap, but that’s not something FOX executives want to see a day before Brady begins his long-awaited debut in the broadcast booth.

Brady and FOX agreed to the massive 10-year deal in May 2022, before he began his final season as a quarterback. Brady retired after the 2022 season and enjoyed a year off before commencing his broadcasting career.
With Tom Brady replacing Greg Olsen as the analyst on the network’s top team, the latter was moved to the second team with Joe Davis. Olsen and Davis will call the Pittsburgh Steelers-Atlanta Falcons game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium tomorrow.
Tom Brady’s Next Chapter Begins Now
Brady walked away as the most decorated player in NFL history, with seven Super Bowl rings, three league MVPs and the proud owner of every major passing category (completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns).
With his playing career long over, Brady now turns towards analyzing the current generation of NFL stars. No player saw more on the field than the Patriots and Buccaneers legend during his 23-year career, so Brady should flourish and be worth every penny at FOX.
