I don’t know how you wanna crush the competition and have dinner with them the next day,” said Tom Brady when once asked about his approach to the game. Although he has retired and taken up a job on the other side of the NFL. However, the competitive nature hasn’t mellowed down. That’s what made him unique in the first place. But the feeling of being the best extended beyond the gridiron, and he still has it. The GOAT showed it against the professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau.

While doing a long drive session with the golf player at Shell Bay in Florida, Brady looked confident and said, “I know I am gonna win. I’m an athlete, he’s a golfer.” TB12 then proceeded to hit the ball with a speed of 175 mph, and 121 mph clubhead speed and covered 333 yards. His hit was so good that even the 2-time US Open winner praised the athlete.

Then DeChambeau came ahead to take his shot. And he also hit it well. Sadly, it wasn’t enough to beat Tom Brady. With the same ball speed of 175 mph, the distance covered was only 282 yards. To set things clear here, they had 5 rounds, and the NFL great out-drove the professional golfer in each one of them. Unexpected!

But he kept it light. After humiliating him and winning all the rounds, TB12 calmly said, “Sorry guys, just a professional broadcaster with 7 Super Bowl rings.” It’s no simple task. Many players couldn’t win even one in their career. Forget players, 12 teams have never won a Super Bowl. And he has 7. That’s mindboggling.

Now retired from the field, he is working as a commentator on FOX and will announce the week 13 game between the Giants and the Cowboys.

Tom Brady asked to alter his announcer’s talk

In the new innings of his football career, there have been some roadblocks. Many fans didn’t like his way of talking about the plays and drives, but slowly, he has won over fans with some nuances into the out-of-the-playbook aspects of the game such as leadership and accountability. But his bosses at FOX aren’t happy.

They want Tom Brady to change the things he talks about. According to sports author John Ourand, “Fox producers have been pushing Brady to incorporate more of what he’s seeing on the field—duh—into his commentary. And these sorts of observations—why a play worked or fell apart—are starting to pop up more frequently on the broadcast.” That’s a huge change.

TB12 has a $375 million deal with the FOX as an analyst. Of course, there would be changes. But he will make those of his own accord. The legend that he is, fans respect him for his thoughts and viewpoints.
