There are few broadcasters in the history of sports that have reached the level that Al Michaels has held throughout his illustrious career. So when he has high praise and lofty expectations for someone who has yet to step foot inside a booth for a live game, he means it.
While appearing on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, Michaels addressed how he thought Tom Brady will do as a broadcaster when he eventually retires and joins Fox. In May, the company announced an agreement with Brady that once he steps away from playing professionally he’ll transition into a broadcasting role with them.
