As I’ve said, I’m prepared to go into any one on one Tom Brady hating battle and come out the winner, both as a football player and a human being; But I have to say I disagree with some other colleagues here I think his work as an analyst has been surprisingly, not horrible and has gotten much better from his to the first half of the first year that he did it. He certainly about 2000% better than Joe Montana ever was when he tried that gig. Brady is still way too kind of cozy with the NFL players, especially once he played with, I think he did the Rams 49ers game and just couldn’t bring himself to say anything bad about the 49ers quarterback who I think had been a Patriots quarterback for a while. But he does do a good job of breaking down the place and have explaining keys at quarterbacks are looking at and mistakes at quarterbacks make. I wouldn’t call him you know I talk to your analyst at this point, but maybe because my bar for him is so low. I have been pleasantly surprised.
