At this point, you’re probably well aware of how little Tom Brady brings to NFL broadcasts as a highly-compensated color commentator. His analysis is equivalent to what a half-baked AI gives you on a search engine. You already know what’s being regurgitated back to you. Chances are, part of it is wrong, too. It’s like he thinks everything he says has inherent value because of his reputation, regardless of context.
(And, unfortunately, Brady’s also not going anywhere.)
But what Brady said at the end of the Philadelphia Eagles’ NFC title win on Sunday takes the cake.
Dearest readers, as the clock ran out on Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl berth in three years, Brady was literally explaining everything that comes with the biggest American sporting event as if no one stateside has ever heard of the Super Bowl.
Dude, come on.
Sometimes, it’s better to say nothing at all and let the moment breathe if you’re just going to state the extremely obvious:

In case you’re tired of hearing Brady talk to viewing audiences like they’ve never watched football before, I have really bad news. He’s gonna call Super Bowl 59 in two weeks in New Orleans.
Ugh. Everyone has it better than us, folks.
