Brady Shines in the Booth, But Strategy Gap Lingers

Tom Brady has shown marked improvement as Fox’s lead NFL analyst, delivering sharper on-air insights (like the shoulder plane) and showing comfort in his role. However, the piece argues he still lags in strategic discussion, citing two missed opportunities in the Rams–Seahawks game (go-for-two timing and late fourth-down/field-goal decisions) where a deeper strategic analysis—something a former analyst like Greg Olsen would likely provide—could have enhanced the broadcast. The article then rounds up related sports-media notes, including an SNL spoof of Buck and Aikman, various NFL graphics, Evan Washburn’s hatless-on-icy day accuracy, Charles Barkley’s ESPN return, and a SI Media interview with Scott Van Pelt.
