NFL legend and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady is all set to dazzle on a different platform – Fox Sports.
His approach is all about dedication, learning, and preparation – not so different from his days of ruling the football field.
In his new journey, Brady has sought advice from those who already witnessed the world of sports broadcasting from close quarters.
From his negotiations with cameramen to studying sports show formats, Brady is leaving no stone unturned. One of these mentors is none other than Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, and CBS Sports analyst.
According to The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch, Brady and Romo had a genuine, impactful, and insightful conversation about Brady’s upcoming journey.
Romo referred to it as “Just two buddies talking football,” “I’m excited for him. Tom will exhaust every resource to be as good at this as anybody. I think me and him have similar traits in that we’re going to try and work as hard as humanly possible to be as good as we can be at anything that we care about. He’s doing that. I think it was a genius decision by him to wait a year coming out and prepare himself. He’s going to do a great job. I think he’s going to be outstanding.”

Brady’s detailed and intense preparation shows that he means business. It’s not just about presenting or hosting the shows; he’s planning to bring an added dimension to his role, tapping into his competitive spirit.
His thorough research and quest for knowledge prove that he wants to make a significant impact beyond just being a presenter.
Romani isn’t the only person Brady has sought out. Renowned sportscaster Jim Nantz, sideline reporter Erica Andrews, and ESPN Personality Stephen A. Smith have also provided insights about their experience and the challenges Brady may face.
To perfect his craft, Brady has already conducted a few trial runs with Kevin Burkhardt, his anticipated co-host.
These rehearsal sessions are helping him get a feel for the booth while building a potent chemistry with his future partner.
