After spending last season away from the game completely following his retirement, Tom Brady is ready to take on his next challenge as a broadcaster for Fox. And it sounds like he’s going to take his same competitive nature to his new field, too.
During a recent appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Tom Brady explained how his “hypercompetitive” nature is going to impact how he prepares and performs in the broadcast booth.
“Certainly, as a broadcaster, I don’t think for me it’s about competition,” Brady said. “I think it’s — for me, it’s about, ‘Did I put everything I could into it? Did I give the fans everything that they tuned in for? That’s really how I’ll end up gauging myself and I’ll have to look at myself at the end of every Sunday night going, ‘Did I do a good enough job? Did I live up to the belief that Fox had in me? Did I live up to the expectations of my teammates Kevin Burkhardt and Erin [Andrews] and Tom [Rinaldi] and Richie Zyontz and Rich Russo and our entire truck and our entire team?’ That’s ultimately how I’ll judge myself in that new role.”
It will certainly be interesting to see how Brady performs.
