Tom Brady is well known as one of the greatest players to ever play the game of football. And on Sunday evening, he’ll getting his feet wet in the broadcasting booth, preparing for the regular season. He’ll be making a test run on the FOX broadcast today before making his official debut in Week 1 for Cowboys vs. Browns.

The NFL’s Twitter account actually confused plenty of people on Sunday evening. The account posted a video of Brady showing him walking the sidelines at SoFi Stadium, telling everyone that he was getting ready for his broadcast debut.

Instead, it’s just a test run for Brady to prepare for his official debut in a few weeks.

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.
