It wasn’t the easiest transition from the field to the broadcast booth for the greatest soccer player in history. For Tom Brady, the blunders and stumbles continued in his first-ever playoff game.

Brady, who is scheduled to serve as color commentator for Super Bowl LIX alongside play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt, was fired for a mistake he made during the NFC Wild Card game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Philadelphia Eagles. Roasted over the coals of the Internet Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

With the first half of the game getting tight and the Eagles leading 10-0, Brady decided to praise a play call from Philadelphia.

Unfortunately for him, he made a small slip of the tongue and mentioned the name of the baseball team from the City of Brotherly Love rather than the name of the football team.

“(You have) three timeouts, so you’d have a couple of games.” “But I like that call from the Phillies… Sorry, Philly,” Brady said on television.

Brady also mixed up Packers running back Josh Jacobs’ name, calling him Brandon Jacobs instead.

Brandon Jacobs is a retired NFL halfback best known for winning two Super Bowls with the New York Giants – beating Brady both times.

Fans on social media have eviscerated Brady, saying that he and Burkhardt are separated by the “No. 2′ Fox broadcast team consisting of Joe Davis and Greg Olsen.

The “No. 2′ Davis/Olsen team was voted the best NFL broadcast team of 2024 in a poll conducted by sports media site Awful Annancing of over 2,400 fans. Burkhardt/Brady placed 14th out of 25 broadcast teams.

“Maybe Brady isn’t cut out for broadcasting,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Another user said: ‘Soccer player – goat. Announcer – terrible!’

“For this they give this man the gross domestic product of Lithuania,” joked another user.

Many commentators called for Olsen to be brought back to Fox’s No. 1 team. Brady took Olsen’s place when he began broadcasting this year.

“He’s absolutely horrible on the mic! Get this asshole out and bring me back Greg Olsen!” read one user’s comment.

Another user said: “Can’t wait for Greg Olsen to be back on the A-Team next year!”

One user posted, “We want Greg Olsen back,” while another said, “Just get rid of him already.” @gregolsen88 (100 percent) better.”

Since his rough debut in Week 1 of the NFL season, Burkhardt and Brady’s locker room has been the most talked-about commentary pair in sports.

Brady was targeted for his occasional awkward moments and mistakes. Fans often point to the huge 10-year, $375 million contract Fox gave him before they even heard him do color commentary.

Earlier this season, after Brady’s minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders was approved, the NFL adopted a series of rules for the 47-year-old to follow in order to keep the situation fair for other teams.

That includes Brady being banned from entering other teams’ facilities, watching practices and participating in production meetings virtually or in person. He is also prohibited from criticizing game managers or other clubs.

All of these rules would either affect his preparation as a broadcaster or limit the speech he can or cannot use on the show.
