Tom Brady won't be playing in the Super Bowl this year and he won't be part of the broadcast, either.
While Brady, 45, has signed a long broadcasting contract with Fox Sports, he won't be put to use at the Super Bowl later this year. Brady will not be a part of the broadcasting booth with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen.
"For those wondering about Tom Brady/Fox NFL: Multiple industry sources say Fox Sports has no plans to use Brady in the booth for the Super Bowl. You never know with the pregame given how long that show goes. But Burkhardt/Olsen is the plan. Fox Sports declined comment on it," Richard Deitsch reported.
There had been some speculation that Brady might join the booth for the Super Bowl.
It will be interesting to see where Brady's broadcasting career goes post-retirement.
"Ok! That quiets my speculation on it lol Because I’ve been saying that Tom Brady calling the Super Bowl alongside Greg Olsen was the path that we were on since Week 1 Wishful thinking on my part lol Would make a lot of sense for them! Maybe the pregame show," one fan wrote.
"Prediction: He never calls a game for Fox," one fan added.
"Burkhardt/Olsen are a solid team. I appreciate that they keep the emphasis on the game, not themselves," another fan wrote.
"Burkhardt/Olsen is the best Fox has to off for the Super Bowl?" one fan added.
