My standard for color analysts is that they know more about the game than I do and they don’t drive me nuts with inanities. Mark Sanchez worked a Steelers game early in the season and I appreciate how he could describe the offensive formation as they came to the line of scrimmage and said which play they were going to run. Between plays he had nothing to say which wasn’t a tired cliche. I used to be on the road some Monday nights and I had the MNF game on Westwood One radio. When Brady was playing they gave him a segment to do during halftime, and not just Patriots games. It was just empty talk, like when a local athlete is invited to speak at a community banquet. So my expectations of him weren’t that high to start with. He doesn’t stand out for me either way on TV. A lot of times I don’t even remember that’s him until he starts into an anecdote from his playing days. I've always said the only people who like Tom Brady either live in the New England or Tampa Bay areas or work for the media. He's always been a boring personality with a voice for a cardboard cutout, but that doesn't matter since the media loves him because he's good at throwing a football, so that should excuse all of the shady things he's done.
