“Tom Needs the Money”: AI Michaels Takes a Wacky Shot at Tom Brady’s $375 Millions Fortune | NFL News
Tom Brady is not just living up to his past glory through a giant bronze statue; he continues to expand his legacy. It’s no longer a secret that the former New England Patriots legend is trying his hand at a broadcasting career with Fox Sports, one of the most elite booths in the global sports realm. After struggling in his first year, the former quarterback is slowly and aptly adapting to the new role he undertook this offseason. Fans went mad at him last season as Brady’s delivery didn’t widely cover the players’ criticism, and a proper analysis of the games as they played out. But the one person who had his back throughout without fail is AI Michaels. But being a staunch supporter doesn’t deny you the right to some occasional digs, right?

Michaels initially offered a high-octane review of the newcomer in the booth. While there was a flood of criticism on the one hand from the fans worldwide, the veteran legendary commentator dubbed Brady’s performance terrific. Brady started off as the NFL analyst alongside play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt. Michales assumed back then, “Outstanding coming out of the gate.’’The time has passed. The once-rookie is now one year old in the business and stepped into the second year of his massive $375 million 10-year contract. Michales, 80, in a lighthearted interview, shared his stance about Brady and his salary for Fox Sports. “The thing is, you have got to have passion. Now Tom! Tom needs the money. So Tom has to keep doing this, right? So he can’t quit. It’s as simple as that.”Is this really a small dig or something deeper along the line? Well, Fox Sports pays Tom handsomely, no doubt in that. The multi-time Super Bowl MVP has earned a total of approximately $332 million in his on-field career, which is still lower than his broadcasting contract price. So, you’d better do the math. So, does it only the money?
