Tom Brady reveals why he won't 'throw shade' at Patrick Mahomes, NFL stars from broadcast booth
Tom Brady's first year as a broadcaster has come and gone, and it seems he already has a style behind the microphone. After 24 seasons cementing himself as the greatest quarterback of all time, Brady became FOX's top color commentator, joining Kevin Burkhardt to call the Super Bowl. Brady's broadcasting is limited due to his ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, but even without that, Brady doesn't have an interest in bashing players while he's on the call. In a recent interview with Complex Sports, Brady was praised for being "supportive" of Patrick Mahomes, who, at age 29, has already been added to the GOAT conversation with the seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady. "How can I throw shade at someone who's as amazing as he is? I know what he's been through," Brady said. That's his mindset for every player in the game, especially quarterbacks. "And I think the one position that I'm in now as a broadcaster, I do feel a responsibility, A, to tell the fans what I see and be honest and upfront about everything. But also realize that what these guys are doing on the field is extremely difficult," Brady added. "Do they make the right plays all the time? Certainly not. By the way, neither did I. And I think you have to have this context and perspective. "You realize it's not about this harsh critique, and that's really not what it's all about anyway," Brady continued. "To me, it's more about, let's point out the greatness of these individual players. Have fun. Enjoy it. Entertain a little bit. And really try to educate people a little bit. "But that's what I want to do on TV. And thought it was a great season because I've got a great team at Fox. And we're going to keep building on the success we had in year one." Brady signed a 10-year deal with FOX. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FOX's ‘America's Game of the Week' 2025 schedule revealed, starting with Super Bowl LIX rematch
The 2025 NFL schedule has been released, and FOX's booth of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady have quite the matchups to call for "America's Game of the Week." Brady joined the Burkhardt team, which included Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, for the 2024 season. The quartet is back for another exciting slate of games that starts with a Super Bowl rematch. The Philadelphia Eagles are traveling to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs, the team they defeated, 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. That game will kick off in Week 2. From there, the crew will call the following games: So, after seeing who comes out on top between the two conference winners in 2024, Dak Prescott and his new receiver George Pickens will head to the "Windy City" to face Caleb Williams and his expected new-look offense under head coach Ben Johnson, who led the Lions' dynamic bunch as their offensive coordinator last year. A matchup between two of the most explosive offenses in the league will happen in Cincinnati, as the Lions and Jared Goff will try to outscore Joe Burrow, who expects his stellar performance to result in a playoff spot this time around. Additionally, of course, some classic divisional rivalries are in the slate, including a good Thanksgiving Day matchup between the Jordan Love-led Packers and Lions. The NFC East will also be featured with the Week 12 and Week 18 games. The Lions, as well as the Cowboys, will be the most featured teams for "America's Game of the Week," as they will each play four times. It is also worth pointing out how the Commanders, who made it to the NFC Championship Game last season, are now thrust into the position of being a playoff contender moving forward under the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, quarterback Jayden Daniels. Perhaps the Giants, a team with a brand-new quarterbacks room which includes Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and first-rounder Jaxson Dart, can find themselves in the same position as Washington this season. It will be tough sledding, as they have the hardest strength of schedule of any team in 2025. With the schedule released, the only thing left to do is wait in suspense as NFL teams continue to work through the offseason with training camp ahead this summer.
