hes Tom Brady. Thats how. Dude will come in prepared.

Playing football and commentating are not the same skill set.

Agree but he has high fb IQ and connects with the audience. Btw, the network must agree

Hello Drew Brees

i liked olsen. at least he was prepared. romo sounds like he just crawled out of bed with no prep. It has been downhill for Romo since his first year. I am not a fan of seeing Bradys mug every Sunday on broadcasts.

Yawn. Go back to packer land and freeze

Hello Drew Brees

Jason Witten

Well, someone also thought Drew Brees would kill it. Jason Witten was apparently handed the MNF microphone without so much as an audition. Networks make mistakes. I just don’t understand why you give a guy a 10 year deal before he’s even worked a game.

 

[TheDude]

Yeah that is completely idiotic. That was their best crew. Just dumb.

Depends on the metric. New crew has a better combined score on the Norwood Scale

I’m not a huge Olsen fan but how do they even know Brady is any good?

because he's Tom Brady...

 

[atlantacowboy]

And Jason Witten was Jason Witten. And Drew Brees was Drew Brees. The expertise is in playing the game. Commentating on it for 3 hours is an entirely different skill set. And I’m fine with giving him an opportunity. But that’s a crazy contract for a guy who’s never called a live game on air.

you aren't paying it so no skin off your nose

 

[_sturt_]

Olsen surprised me. Liked him more than I'd anticipated I would.

 

[1942willys]

It is interesting that many HOF players or those that will be in the HOF do not make good broadcasters, etc

So there is no guarantee that Brady will either. It would make me laugh if he did not and Fox is on the hook for so much money

 

[Texasfootball21]

Thought Olsen's Terry Bradshaw impersonation was hilarious!

Yawn. Go back to packer land and freeze

LOL, I live in Central Florida. It is 63 and rainy today. But I am still freezing.

OK, how in the world did you ever stand it there? Or were you never in Wisconsin?

never was from there thank God. I grew up in SW La so Southern all the way. My dad and brothers were cowboys fans. I rebelled. Sorry. i became a full fledged fan during the Ice Bowl and subsequently reading Jerry Kramers book "Instant Replay". The 70s and 80s were trying times but that changed in the 90s. I have been to Lambeau 4 times and seen them play countless times in Florida. My grandson is now as big of a Packers fan as I ever was. I took him to Lambeau two years ago for his first trip. I can die now. My legacy is now complete.
