It's the first weekend of the NFL season, which means another week of critics dumping on Tom Brady's commentating. Now in his second year with Fox and teamed up with Kevin Burkhardt, the first week had him doing the Washington Commanders and New York Giants game. Let's be honest, the expectations Brady has are so big there's really no way to live up to them except to be patient, and by the end of the year, people will be more reasonable. Or more hateful. NFL fans are more Bipolar than Britney Spears' Instagram dancing videos.
There are several star Quarterbacks who have become Color Analysts calling games. While Eli and Peyton Manning kill it hosting the 'Manningcast' together, they are more observing the game than following it in the normal sense. The list of top Quarterbacks turned commentators is:
Troy Aikman with Joe Buck on ESPN- Having them do the Monday Night Games means I'm not watching the 'Manningcast' as they are always solid and informative. The longest-running team has been doing it since 2002.
Tony Romo with Jim Nantz on CBS- Probably the most entertaining duo that uses humor the most. Like yesterday on the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers game, they used an ad for the show 'Tony And Ziva' to make reference to Tony and his wife, Candice Romo.
Tom Brady with Kevin Burkhardt on Fox- There's way too much pressure on them as Fox's number 1 team, as some fans wish Greg Olsen was still with Burkhardt instead of being delegated to the network's second team. I'd like to see more comedy, as in yesterday's game, Brady made a joke about the spitting incident from the Eagles and Cowboys game.
Kurt Warner with Rich Eisen on YouTube- He's reliable and has a great backstory. A movie starring Zachary Levi was made of Warner's life called 'American Underdog.'
Also there is Trent Green with Kevin Harlan on CBS and Mark Sanchez with Adam Amin on Fox.
So, who is your favorite? Would you put up your favorite against legendary John Madden? Comment below with your thoughts.
