It’s Not Hard to See Why Tom Brady Will Be Great in Fox’s NFL Booth
1. I have been |A|
on record in multiple |B|
places, on multiple occasions, |C|
saying that Tom Brady |D|
wont be good as |E|
Foxs lead NFL analyst—he |F|
will be GREAT as |G|
Foxs lead NFL analyst. |H|
I |R| hope Brady realizes that |S| we want him to |U| be critical. The NFL |V| and Fox may not |Y| want him to be |Z| critical, but fans and |A| viewers want honesty. And |B| sometimes honesty is criticism.
|C| dir="ltr">During his recent interview |D| with Stephen A. Smith, |E| Brady showed why he |F| will be an outstanding |G| listen in the booth |H| if he remains blunt |J| and honest.
It almost |K| seems as if Brady |L| cant help but be |M| critical. When Smith asked |O| him to name the |P| top five quarterbacks today, |Q| Brady could only name |R| four.
With Mahomes the |S| layup at No. 1, |U| Brady then named Josh |V| Allen, Lamar Jackson and |Y| Joe Burrow. “And I |Z| think… Ill leave it |A| at those four,” said |B| Brady, who clearly didnt |C| want to give props |D| to anyone else.
Throughout |E| the hour-long interview, the |F| future Hall of Fame |G| quarterback dished out insight |H| that few can offer.
|J| dir="ltr">He talked about purposely |K| not throwing the ball |L| to receivers who werent |M| prepared.
He also went |O| off about the mismanagement |P| of rookie quarterbacks.
If |Q| Brady gives us this |R| version of himself during |S| games this season, we |U| will all win.
2. Huge |V| news for NFL Sunday |Y| Ticket customers: Customizable multiview |Z| will be here for |A| the 2024 season.
From |B| Ben Fischer of Sports Business |C| Journal: "YouTube TV and |D| YouTube users will be |E| able to build custom |F| two-, three-, or four-game |G| multi-view panels – a |H| function that YouTube tested |J| last season."
3. Given the |K| power and success of |L| McAfees daily ESPN show |M| and his role on College |O| GameDay, its cool to |P| see how much the |Q| WWE means to him, |R| as youll see during |S| this surprise tribute from |U| Mondays show.
After the |V| show, in a moment |Y| not caught on television, |Z| McAfee addressed the crowd |A| and his colleagues to |B| say farewell.
4. Kirk Cousins |C| celebrated his 36th birthday |D| on Monday by putting |E| together a playlist for |F| the Falcons practice that |G| day. Take out the |H| awful Maroon 5 song |J| and its a very |K| solid effort by the |L| quarterback.
5. Im not sure |M| why every baseball team |O| doesnt film its television |P| broadcasters to capture awesome |Q| moments. SNY, the home |R| of the Mets, always |S| films Gary Cohen, Keith |U| Hernandez and Ron Darling. |V| Heres what happened on |Y| Monday night when New |Z| York won on a |A| walkoff home run.
|B| dir="ltr">6. The latest episode of SI |C| Media With Jimmy Traina features |D| a conversation with Radio |E| Hall of Famer, Chris |F| “Mad Dog” Russo.
Russo |G| talks about signing a |H| new three-year contract extension |J| with SiriusXM, the challenges |K| of doing a daily |L| radio show during the |M| summer and staying relevant |O| after so many years |P| in the business.
Other |Q| topics discussed with Russo |R| include his thoughts on |S| whether Stephen A. Smith |U| would ever leave First Take and |V| ESPN, what Molly Qerim |Y| told him about his |Z| “What Im Mad About” |A| segment, the First Take moment that |B| got him the most |C| reaction, how he thinks |D| Brady will fare as |E| an analyst, doing sports |F| talk radio during an |G| election season, adding Peter |H| Schrager to his show, |J| what its like to |K| have a son going |L| into sports talk radio |M| and much more.
Following |O| Russo, Sal Licata from |P| WFAN radio and SNY |Q| TV in New York |R| joins me for our |S| weekly “Traina Thoughts" segment. |U| This weeks topics include |V| the U.S. mens basketball |Y| gold medal win, Season |Z| 3 of The Bear and more.

|E| dir="ltr">7. RANDOM VIDEO OF THE |F| DAY: If you grew |G| up in the 80s, |H| you knew the importance |J| of Phil Donahue, who |K| passed away on Monday. |L| You also know that SNLs |M| Darrel Hammond did as |O| good of an impression |P| of Donahue as possible.
