NFL preseason broadcast hints Tom Brady will call Week 5 Patriots-Dolphins game for Fox
Fans are highly anticipating NFL legend Tom Brady jumping in the broadcast booth this fall. For now, the only game we know that he’ll definitely be calling is the Browns-Cowboys matchup in Week 1. But during the Eagles-Patriots preseason game on Thursday night, the McCourty brothers were running the broadcast booth and they let a secret slip.
They hinted that Brady will potentially be on the call for the Patriots-Dolphins matchup in Week 5 on FOX.
Why Tom Brady loved playing football
Brady had a lot of success because he loved playing football. On The Pivot Podcast, the 46-year-old former quarterback explained why he loved the game so much.
“It was never to be a champion, I love just throwing the football,” Brady said. “When I throw the football and I see that ball spiral out of my hands, I’m like ‘Woo! Love that! You guys want to go to the beach? Let’s throw the football.’ I’ll have a hell of a time. We would laugh, we would probably play for three hours out there.

“…When I got older, I actually liked the practices more than the games,” Brady continued. “I felt like I had such high expectations in the game, like if I went out and threw two interceptions, ‘Oh Tom Brady threw two interceptions. You’re Tom Brady. You’re supposed to be perfect out there. You can’t f— up in the game.’ But in practice, no one was watching, I could have a little more fun. I could be a little more lighter.”
No player in the history of the NFL has had as much success as Brady. In his storied 23-year career, Brady played in 10 Super Bowls, won seven championships, was named Super Bowl MVP five times, and NFL MVP three times.
He shattered a countless number of NFL records during his career, including: career passing completions, career passing attempts, career passing touchdowns, career passing yards, career playoff passing yards, and career playoff passing touchdowns, among others. Six of his Super Bowls were won with the New England Patriots, while winning his last Super Bowl crown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
