Let's be honest. You're probably watching the Super Bowl right now, catching one of a few NFL games you'll sit down for every year and a jolt of lightning hits your brain as Tom Brady picked up the microphone for his broadcasting as a Fox analyst.

Tom Brady? The quarterback? Is an announcer now???

Yep. It's real. He's back at the Super Bowl this time hoping to win an Emmy.

Brady retired after the 2022 season. In a video posted a video to his Twitter account on February 1, 2023, Brady sat on a beach and confirmed he was done in the NFL. Kind of.

Three months after his retirement papers went through, Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports to join their NFL play-by-play team, but he was given a year before the deal officially started in 2024.

Now he's back at the Super Bowl, because of course he is.

Hopefully that explains it all!
