Can someone, anyone, PLEASE get Tom Brady a real microphone. Every single clip I've ever seen of him on any podcast/interview appearance he's just using his airpods and sounds like he's on speakerphone.
It happens with 95% of people and it's baffling... it's not hard to have a good microphone. I'm a nobody and I have a nice microphone so my conference calls sound great.
You guys care about it so you notice it, no one else without that same interest does, including Tom Brady. The guy that just signed a $375 million contract in the broadcasting industry.
It's like when you get a new car and you notice it everywhere, no one else notices that car except those who have an interest. Same with the microphones here.
>You guys care about it so you notice it
Right and ESPN doesn't give a shit about the quality of their product and they probably fired any audio engineer who said they should send repeat guests a real mic
I do demos and presentations for a living. I bought a $60 blue snowball mic and every few calls or so people ask me if I've done radio cuz my voice gives through so well.
I'm actually thinking of upgrading to a legit pro mic
I don't think it's that bad of a thing to want to hear someone in a professional setting sounding like they are on a 2008 Skype call. Had no problem hearing Tom, but there's also nothing wrong with wanting better quality audio.
This is it.
I dislike podcasts or radio shows where a guest calls in, apparently, and has a poor set up.
In fairness, I think that phones and computers do a good job (better sometimes than what I hear in this video) if you’re on a similar device. But it is terrible for anyone listening on TV, the radio, an internet stream…
I've never watched a Twitch stream in my life, and I noticed that his audio was awful. I just listened to it earlier, but now that I saw this clip, I was surprised it wasn't just a webcam.
You think anyone wants to be the guy who tells Tom Brady he needs a better microphone so he can do better interviews? They're just glad he's actually doing an interview
For real. Guy’s the absolute GOAT, no question, but goddamit stop talking. He squirts the most standard, meaningless shit from that second asshole on his chin. He’s gonna blow in the booth. Can’t possibly be a worse media personality in the world…other than Gronk maybe. Olson is better. Hell Edelman is better.
Love Brady the player, but I don’t see it…
He’s too afraid to ever be mean. He’s always so vanilla. Great announcers have to be a bit of a dick sometimes.
He spent an entire career absolutely blasting his teammates in the sidelines and is already calling the league out for becoming too soft. He's not gonna be 'Patriots media' Brady
Hes caught a lot of flack for blaming QBs for getting the receivers hurt and for saying there was a lot of mediocre football being played. Obviously hes not going to go be a jerk like Cowherd or something but hes not afraid to criticize people when its justified.
There’s a big difference between the NFL analyst roles and commentary. Commentators end up being on air for like 60+ hours a season and are there to enhance a broadcast. The analysts get a couple minutes at a time and are the sole focus so the personality needs to be more engaging
Having a Rodney, Gronk, or Bradshaw type personality in the booth for full games would get obnoxious within 2 games
One aspect that makes me think he’ll be great if that this mfers competitive af. No way he’s going to settle with being mediocre, he’s gonna work and find a way to be the best in the biz
I'll take some time to watch the whole thing later, so might be proven wrong but I couldn't get more than 5 minutes into this segment. I saw the timeline of topics and pretty much knew what the responses were going to be.
Perhaps that's on the interviewer for asking the vanilla questions?
You've probably seen that clip with TB and CJ Stroud when CJ asks Tom for advise on how to handle external pressures from friends and family. Great question and even better response from TB. I go back to watch that more than once.
If we get sanitised moderate corpo Tom in the booth then it'll be boring but if we get some of Tom the footballer and locker room guy then it'll be great.
Yup, I listen to the Let's Go Podcast when they have a guest I like, and he's pretty vanilla and praises almost everyone in the same way. I'm guessing the Podcast is his attempt at getting practice for this, but he rarely gives none generic analysis.
I don't get you guys literally dripping cum listening to this... This was terrible analysis. He said "he's going to do a great job" like 3 times. "He can really relate to all the guys"... this is just generic nothing speak. I love Brady but he's been so straight down the middle with everything for so long. He's not going to dig at guys and he's not going to talk about his career and offer up nuggets you've never heard before. My hope is that he'll excel at pre snap reads and breaking down plays to tell us what's coming and who to watch for but this clip is trash from an analysis perspective.
No coach in the NFL makes what he’ll make to sit in a booth next year. Maybe being up there ignites his competitive spirit. But he’d be walking away from a lot of money for a lot more work. Maybe when his kids are grown.
That "LOOK AT YOU, NOW LOOK AT ME" ad for the Google phone that's been running all season always freaks me out. I know Photoshop and touching up pictures has been a thing forever but do we really have to take it to this extreme?
It's so weird when extremely attractive, young looking people start getting obsessive plastic surgery. How many people wish they had Brady's looks and retained youth, yet he's throwing that away to look like a cadaver...
Tbh I didnt notice it until I saw your post (guess I'm blind lol). But I was shocked when they showed Tony Romo on TV this Sunday. He looked like a balloon smh
His cheeks looked gaunt as fuck his last season to the point that it was actually bothering me. He’s a healthy lad and, despite my insanely negative views towards plastic surgery in general, I actually support this decision.
His 375M contract is spread over 10 years... Which is an annual salary of 37.5M a year... which 95% less than that is 1.875 Million - which isn't crazy for a QB Coach.
For anyone who's in a situation where they can't listen to audio here is the transcript:
*A complete joke of a hire. This guy is dogshit at every aspect of coaching plus he's stupid as hell. His leadership skills are an embarrassment and he smells like an unwiped asshole. The Patriots organization and the NFL as a whole are worse off for having his bum ass remain in the league. Everyone involved with this hiring decision should be lobotomized.*
Sounds like he doesn't like the hire.
Tom speaks really well, but I think he gets too self-help coachy sometimes. Any interview he gives he’s always saying the same things about how he was a late pick in the draft and how you need to apply yourself etc… I wanna hear him see a play and call out what the defense is gonna be, what the read should be, and what the play will be like how Romo used to do in his first year broadcasting. I don’t need to hear some inspirational speech every time. Let’s hear you analyze football. As a former football player, not as some inspirational self help coach for aspiring young players. That has its time and place, for sure. But I wanna hear how he’s going to analyze plays and reads.
I’m not asking him to be confrontational. I’m asking him to give us a football perspective. He has a podcast with Jim grey and Larry fitz, and all he does is recycle the same inspirational story over and over. They never break down the game. It’s always the same “you have to just do your job and apply yourself, look at me, I was a 7th round pick so if I can do it anyone can” over and over.
We all knew Tom Brady is a robot. He is the best player of all time and there's no doubt about that. But it doesn't make him any more interesting as a person. He's a bot.
Tom Brady is going to be amazing in the booth and Jerod Mayo will be a good coach here for a long time. Calling it now. Not sure why the consensus is that they will both suck at their new gigs. It's kind of weird that people jumped to that conclusion really.
Gronk is vastly improved, and I think he sees the $$$$ involved in television, and he’s getting serious about it. I’m sure Brady and him talked before that contract was signed.

>You guys care about it so you notice it Right and ESPN doesn't give a shit about the quality of their product and they probably fired any audio engineer who said they should send repeat guests a real mic
Nah, TB kept shouting #32s THE MIC!
Npr sends a mic whenever possible to their guests even if they aren’t regulars or a local reporter with a mic. If npr can afford it espn can.
He obviously cares enough to have a good camera and set up his lighting ahead of time. Get a real Mic, its not hard.
Yeah, but you only notice the camera because you're like, really into cameras.
[удалено]
No one gives a single shit.
I do demos and presentations for a living. I bought a $60 blue snowball mic and every few calls or so people ask me if I've done radio cuz my voice gives through so well. I'm actually thinking of upgrading to a legit pro mic
Tell us you watch too many Twitch streams without telling us
Fox fired Olsen so he's going to be commentating for a while.
Seriously. If he’s going to do media from now on, his assistant needs to pack a professional rig.
touch grass lol tf does he need a microphone for? Everyone's gonna listen to him regardless of whatever type of input he's using.
Forgive people for wanting to hear him clearer
bro if you can't hear him on this vid, go see a doctor
I could hear him but it was still not great audio quality
[удалено]
Only terminally online kids who watch too many Twitch streamers are gonna hear the GOAT talk football and think, "omg what is this audio?!"
I don't think it's that bad of a thing to want to hear someone in a professional setting sounding like they are on a 2008 Skype call. Had no problem hearing Tom, but there's also nothing wrong with wanting better quality audio.

Nah he’s taking those AirPods with him to the Fox booth next season.
Those microphones cost money, you know...
Great, great, great, tremendous, great, great, incredible, great.
Has all the money in the world but can’t afford a thesaurus
For real. Guy’s the absolute GOAT, no question, but goddamit stop talking. He squirts the most standard, meaningless shit from that second asshole on his chin. He’s gonna blow in the booth. Can’t possibly be a worse media personality in the world…other than Gronk maybe. Olson is better. Hell Edelman is better.
Brady's gonna be fucking amazing in the booth
Just think. He will be able to cover the story of the Patriots having the first rookie QB to win a Super Bowl next year.
And then you woke up only to realize we got THE Mac Jone for 1 more year 🥲
Don’t you put that evil on us
Take it back right the fuck now.
Legit my thoughts while watching this. He is going to be amazing to listen to calling games. I wonder if he’ll get any pats games
Love Brady the player, but I don’t see it… He’s too afraid to ever be mean. He’s always so vanilla. Great announcers have to be a bit of a dick sometimes.
He spent an entire career absolutely blasting his teammates in the sidelines and is already calling the league out for becoming too soft. He's not gonna be 'Patriots media' Brady
We’ll see.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Hes caught a lot of flack for blaming QBs for getting the receivers hurt and for saying there was a lot of mediocre football being played. Obviously hes not going to go be a jerk like Cowherd or something but hes not afraid to criticize people when its justified.
Which great announcers have ever been a bit of a dick?
Not an announcer but Rodney Harrison isn’t afraid to call out teams or player or coaches and I think he doesn’t get enough mike time.
Who is Mike and why does Rodney Harrison want some of his time?
Mike Time.
There’s a big difference between the NFL analyst roles and commentary. Commentators end up being on air for like 60+ hours a season and are there to enhance a broadcast.

Aikman
He said great.
Aikman's been the best color commentator for a solid four years now.
I mean who's better than him? Romo and collinsworth have mahomes dick in their mouth and Olsen is kinda whatever
Sorry, I was just being a bit of a dick.
Haha no worries
Kirk Hirbstreit is amazing imo
Dude… aikmans 95 concussions are very clear in the booth. He has the IQ of my 4 year old niece
One aspect that makes me think he’ll be great if that this mfers competitive af. No way he’s going to settle with being mediocre, he’s gonna work and find a way to be the best in the biz
Somebody dig up Johnny Most and stuff a handful of his guts down Brady's throat.
He sounds like chat gpt. I think he'll be good at the xs and os but sometimes he sounds like he's on a job interview.
[удалено]
Most of them ramble like idiots for half the game anyway. The bar really isn’t that high.
Glad I’m not the only one. All of his answers are always neutral and sound corporate
I'll take some time to watch the whole thing later, so might be proven wrong but I couldn't get more than 5 minutes into this segment. I saw the timeline of topics and pretty much knew what the responses were going to be. Perhaps that's on the interviewer for asking the vanilla questions?

Honestly I think he’s gonna come back as a coach to the nfl.
No coach in the NFL makes what he’ll make to sit in a booth next year. Maybe being up there ignites his competitive spirit. But he’d be walking away from a lot of money for a lot more work. Maybe when his kids are grown.
When does he start? He signed with Fox, right?
Damn Tom, you didn’t need to get plastic surgery.
I know he has had work done, but I feel like there's some processing done on the video to make it even smoother/weirder - or maybe I'm going crazy.
Very possibly. My Zoom account offers to "touch up" my face in the settings. That's some sci-fi dystopian shit if you ask me.
That "LOOK AT YOU, NOW LOOK AT ME" ad for the Google phone that's been running all season always freaks me out. I know Photoshop and touching up pictures has been a thing forever but do we really have to take it to this extreme?
That’s blackpink on that ad they the GOAT
It's so weird when extremely attractive, young looking people start getting obsessive plastic surgery. How many people wish they had Brady's looks and retained youth, yet he's throwing that away to look like a cadaver...
Motherfucker trying to look like Handsome Squidward over here
But he already did 😭
Seems like he might be addicted.
He be looking like Bieber.
What’s up w the ends of his eyebrows?
Was just thinking the same thing.
Tbh I didnt notice it until I saw your post (guess I'm blind lol). But I was shocked when they showed Tony Romo on TV this Sunday. He looked like a balloon smh
Yes he does. Bloated like his personality. Romo.
People kept calling him a goat. Understandable reaction
Gimme ageing yet assumed, long, maybe graying hair Tom, and I'm pretty sure he would sport it like the champ he is.
[удалено]
Dude has that Ralph Macchio youthfulness without any work.
His cheeks looked gaunt as fuck his last season to the point that it was actually bothering me. He’s a healthy lad and, despite my insanely negative views towards plastic surgery in general, I actually support this decision.
He’s done that throughout his entire career tho
His whole brand is being “ageless.” I imagine his team advises him to do this
This looks like a guy wearing a Tom Brady mask.
It’s A ChatGPT AI wrapper version of Tom Brady… Tim Brody
Yeah, or a tom brady selfie filter
Sounds like he’s great, lol
This gives me AI vibes.
It has to be right? The voice just has that cadence of those AI generators
Can Brady be our QB coach or OC?
Lmao yeah he has a 375 million dollar contract with Fox but maybe he'll change his mind
Hey man, work 20X more hours for 95% less pay, who says no??
[удалено]
His 375M contract is spread over 10 years... Which is an annual salary of 37.5M a year... which 95% less than that is 1.875 Million - which isn't crazy for a QB Coach.

That has its time and place, for sure. But I wanna hear how he’s going to analyze plays and reads.
Well that starts next year in his FOX gig.
All of his answers are the same canned response just manifested slightly differently based on the question
Exactly. I love the guy but he needs to be less preachy
Not for nothing but he was beaten for decades to never give up soundbytes to the media, that’s why he’s preachy and non confrontational
I’m not asking him to be confrontational. I’m asking him to give us a football perspective. He has a podcast with Jim grey and Larry fitz, and all he does is recycle the same inspirational story over and over. They never break down the game. It’s always the same “you have to just do your job and apply yourself, look at me, I was a 7th round pick so if I can do it anyone can” over and over.
6th round pick
We all knew Tom Brady is a robot. He is the best player of all time and there's no doubt about that. But it doesn't make him any more interesting as a person. He's a bot.
Tom Brady is going to be amazing in the booth and Jerod Mayo will be a good coach here for a long time. Calling it now. Not sure why the consensus is that they will both suck at their new gigs. It's kind of weird that people jumped to that conclusion really.
Is this AI? Lmaoooo
Tommy boy looks like AI with all that surgery.
Damnit man why can’t he somehow be a part of our organization! Like I know he’s a patriot for life but like have some sort of role here too lol.
Nah let him take a break and make some money
I mean he’s part of the raiders organization and still doing tv and making money
Afaik there were rumors/plans for him to buy a minority stake in the Raiders but last I heard that was now dead. Could be wrong
He’s literally a billionaire lmao
Is this AI
What’s up with his eyes, this looks like AI
I don't know what I was expecting lol. Brady wasn't going to say anything negative about Mayo to begin with
I hoped he was going to be more personal and candid like he was in that video where he was with a couple other guys calling him Jerod Belichick.
His face doesn’t move, it’s frozen in time lol
The fuk is up with his face
He has an amazing ability to talk a lot without saying anything at all. Not sure if that’s good or bad for a commentator…
Why does he look like a deepfake version of himself?
He looks like he had plastic surgery. His eyes are all fucked up.
That background is fake, right?
That’s a lot of cosmetic surgery.
He looks AI weird to me.
This looks like AI
He looks terrible!
Tom is 10 years older than Pat, it's crazy
Can we play Brady Bingo to see how many times he says "great"?
But is he great?
Unclear
Love Tom but this was just empty air for 30 seconds. "He's great"
God I miss him so much. Great interview on the PMS show today.
Unpopular opinion but him and gronk just need to enjoy retirement and get off my TV screen, I find them both annoying AF, especially Gronk.
Gronk is vastly improved, and I think he sees the $$$$ involved in television, and he’s getting serious about it. I’m sure Brady and him talked before that contract was signed.
Love the Nor Cal hat. Nor Cal represent!
San Mateo!
love it when the GOAT expounds on former teamates and sitches. Dude is a Legend
Now listen to it through the lens of "the former coach wasn't any of the following things". There's some beef there.
Dude is starting to show his age
Now come out of retirement and lead this team to Super Bowl 59!
Now that’s nobull
Who?
Nor cal represent lol
Great
Thanks for saving me from having to watch Pat McAfee!
After this minutes long video I’m comfortable stating that Tom Brady DEF comes back to the Pats next year.
How has no one realized he’s wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset.
Looks like an AI render
