Legendary NFL quarterback isn’t throwing touchdowns on Sundays anymore, but he’s still a large presence around the sport. Brady recently joined the Las Vegas Raiders organization as a minority owner, and also serves as a gameday broadcaster for FOX.
Brady signed a lucrative contract with the network, and now some of his colleagues covering the NFL for FOX want to know where their pay day is, and at least one isn’t afraid to take a shot at Brady in the process.
Terry Bradshaw made an appearance on latest episode of the To The Point – Home Services Podcast, and took a dig at the Brady situation at FOX.
“Did you see the numbers they did?” Bradshaw asked the audience during the live show, per Awful Announcing. “The largest Super Bowl in history. 126 million people. There’s 330 million people in America. That is a ton. The Fox pregame show averaged 28 million for five hours.
“Who in the world is gonna sit around and watch that mess for five hours? 28 million.
“You know how much money they made? God. More money than plumbers, I can assure you that. 28 million. And I guarantee you, if I go in there and ask for a raise, ‘Well, we don’t have any…we’re running a little tight.’
“Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I’ll take it. I did some bad deals, that’s what it was.”
It’ll be interesting to see if the network awards Bradshaw, a legendary quarterback in his own right, with a payday of his own.
