In the latest episode of his YouTube show, Tom Brady offered fans an inside look at his new journey into broadcasting. The former NFL star, who spent over two decades dominating the field, is now transitioning into the broadcast booth, and he took time to reflect on his first experience calling a game.
The video showed Brady on his way to the stadium before the game, visibly excited and perhaps a bit nervous about the new chapter in his career. After the game, Brady was seen on a plane—likely his own—where he candidly opened up about how it felt to be in the booth for the first time.
“I’m not tired from the game,” Brady admitted. “I’m tired from the buildup. A lot of emotional energy and not quite knowing how things are gonna go. Certainly, a lot of fun. Definitely things to clean up. So, it’s all a learning process, man.”
While Brady’s nerves were apparent, he remained optimistic about his future in broadcasting. He acknowledged that his debut wasn’t perfect but emphasized his commitment to improving. “I felt like I was doing what I should be doing,” he said, adding confidently, “I just know it’s going to get better.”

His next chance to improve will come soon, as Brady is set to join Kevin Burkhardt in the booth for the Saints-Cowboys game this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Brady’s immense knowledge of the game is undisputed, but even legends face challenges when starting something new.
Regardless of opinions on his Week 1 performance as a broadcaster, one thing is clear: Brady is already a better analyst than he is a fantasy football owner. During his YouTube show, he revealed a few humorous details about his less-than-stellar fantasy football draft.
For starters, Brady admitted to drafting Deshaun Watson as his quarterback—a move that raised some eyebrows. But the real kicker (pun intended) was when he shared that he selected a kicker in the fourth round of his draft, a major no-no in most fantasy football circles.
“It’s a good thing I’ve got seven Super Bowl rings,” Brady joked, acknowledging his fantasy football struggles. With a draft strategy like that, it seems unlikely that Brady will be adding a fantasy football title to his already packed trophy case.
Despite his learning curve in broadcasting and fantasy football, Brady’s track record of perseverance and success suggests he’ll find his stride soon enough.
Whether on the field or in the booth, he’s always been known for his ability to adjust, improve, and ultimately excel.
Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how he evolves as a broadcaster—and maybe offering some advice for his next fantasy draft.
