Erin Andrews Calls Tom Brady’s Year 2 Broadcasting ‘Night and Day’

Colleagues credit diligent preparation for a rapid leap after a heavily criticized debut.

Overview

On the New Heights podcast, Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson defended Brady’s progress and said NFL broadcasting is harder than viewers assume.
Andrews said she texted Brady after reviewing his Week 4 Tampa Bay–Philadelphia broadcast to say his current work sounds "night and day" from early last season.
Brady is set to call Fox’s Thanksgiving game between the Lions and Packers on November 27 from Ford Field alongside play-by-play partner Kevin Burkhardt.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion is in his second season as Fox’s lead analyst under a reported 10-year, $375 million contract.
Media analysis notes Fox valued Brady’s star power when hiring him, even as critics acknowledge he appears more comfortable and effective in Year 2.
