REVEALED: What Fox bosses REALLY thought of Tom Brady’s TV debut as fans slammed ‘atrocious’ first appearance of $375m, 10-year deal
Tom Brady will face critics who have criticized the start of his 10-year, $375 million contract as a FOX Sports anchor, but his bosses have given him their full support.
That’s according to a source close to the NFL legend, who was criticized when he made his debut as a commentator at the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Just 20 minutes into his 10-year, $375 million contract, Brady was already receiving criticism on social media, with one user even calling him “terrible.”
However, according to a person close to the seven-time Super Bowl winner, FOX executives were pleased with his performance.
They claim that Brady will do his best to prove those who doubt his ability as a presenter wrong. According to them, many are simply jealous of the 47-year-old: ‘Let people moan, Tom will get through,’ they said.

And the source told DailyMail.com: ‘Tom isn’t worried about his job, he’s just looking forward to the next test and always wants to improve, that’s who he is.
‘He’s known for proving people wrong, so this is another example of that… he’s got 10 years to get it right and if anyone’s going to do it, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be Tom Brady more often than not.
“It’s just in his DNA, he’s done a great job, he’s going to get better and that’s the only thing everyone at Fox is concerned about.”
Within 20 minutes of the NFL legend’s debut being announced, fans were calling him ‘terrible’
The source insisted that Brady will listen to both his opponents and those who enjoyed his debut as a commentator ‘as He strives to be great in everything he does, and this is no different.’
They added: ‘He knew he wasn’t going to be the greatest presenter of all time straight away. That’s something you have to learn, something you have to get to grips with.’
“He did have some hiccups, but to think he was terrible is a bit drastic.”
