“For anybody who is aware of him off the sector, he’s the nicest man,” Damon mentioned about Brady, as shared by Brendon Kleen of Terrible Saying. “…Folks have been rooting towards him. The vast majority of individuals tuning in have been rooting towards him for years. They’re going to see that, too. And I believe it’s inconceivable to not love that man when you spend a little bit little bit of time with him. …I’m going to look at no matter video games he’s broadcasting as a result of it’s going to be enjoyable.”
It is hardly a secret that Fox executives predict and doubtless even hoping some followers tune in to look at Brady make his regular-season debut — when the Cleveland Browns host the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 8 — simply to see if the seven-time Tremendous Bowl champion will fall flat on his face.
