Breaking News: Fans hear ‘awkward silence’ as early reviews of Tom Brady’s NFL job change aren’t kind to Patriots legend left hanging by broadcast partner…see more

But the early impressions of the former New England Patriots great in the NFL announcer booth were not kind. “So much awkward silence from Tom Brady during the first quarter of his broadcast,” one fan tweeted.

“This is the guy that won (seven) Super Bowls,” a second fan posted. “Tom Brady needs to do more play breakdown pre-snap. I want Tom Brady calling the game like he’s QB.”

“Why is Tom Brady glitching?” a third fan wrote. While fans were adjusting to the sight and sound of the NFL GOAT in the TV booth, Brady was left hanging during an awkward introduction.

ESPN reported that, if Brady’s purchase of a piece of the Raiders is approved, he will be placed under severe restrictions when being around the NFL’s 31 other teams.

What’s unquestioned is that the seven-time Super Bowl winner faces incredibly high expectations — from himself and fans — as he enters a new job in the public eye.
