Seriously? I just heard FOX sports is paying GQ 375 million over 10 years to be a commentator?(I'm late to the game lol)

WTAF?!! I'm done with top level pro sports (about fed up with the NCAA also). When announcers are getting paid over a quarter of a billion it's outta control. You can't afford to go to any of the games anyway unless you mortgage your house.

Got Indianapolis Indians tickets for a couple games this week as they go down to the wire to make the playoffs. That's money well spent

Oh, and I listened to 10 min of his broadcast. It was as good as Spurriers first season with the Bucs

He didn't do playoff analysis or any game day stuff.

They had him do radio interview with Jim grey throwing him softballs last year.

It wasn't like the NBA where guys who are out of the playoffs will come in and do analysis with Barkley and the crew. So you can tell if the guys can do it.

On the other hand, if he is still a Trump buddy, then I hate him. It’s one thing to have been friends with him before he was President.

Brady was only the greatest when the Gronk was his tight enc.

Patriots superbowls: Brady to Gronk.3

Belicheck: Greatest coach only because of Brady

Brady: Greatest QB only because of Gronkouwski.

Don't belive me, look at the records:

Patriots:2001, 2003, 2004, 2007L, 2011L, 2014, 2016, 2017L, 2018
Brady/Gronkowski: 2015, 2019
Brady/anyone else 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007L, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017L

Buccaneers: 2021
Brady/Gronkowski 2021
Brady/any one else

...before Gronk was even in the league. He won 2 of them while Gronkowski was in HS.
I'm not a Brady defender (except in "deflategate", where the accusers don't know the first thing about Boyle's law) but 3 of 7 without that tight end kind of refutes your argument.
BTW: in those 3 wins before Gronk, he had receivers who had ZERO all-pro nominations, combined.

if he becomes a managing partner in the LV Raiders. They weren't impressed with his debut, either.
