Brady will be fine. Expecting him to be Aikman, who's been doing this for 20+ years, or even Olsen, is unrealistic.

I hope he gets better. I don't think he will because I think his flaws are more an inherent part of his personality.

Thats just cause he was a massive winner.  It has nothing to do with the person or the personality.  Tiger was a prickly weirdo but he was amazing at golf so people were obsessed with him.  Messi has the personality of a dishrag and doesn't even speak English.  He would be a terrible soccer commentator as well.

You may be right. I think he'll almost certainly get better. Whether he ever becomes good or great, I have no idea.

That doesn't surprise me. I wonder if there's a similar graphic for Americans' least favorite pro athlete, and where Brady would rank.

Jordan would be a worse commentator than he was a GM.

Undoubtedly true. He had the good sense not to try.

He was never a GM. You mean owner? I'd agree with that.

He made all of the Hornets' important decisions, and many of their less-important ones, especially before he brought in Kupchak to be GM.

He didn't give himself the GM title, but he was the de facto GM.

He was also PBO in Washington before his second comeback. He drafted Kwame Brown.

I don't think they are paying him that much money to be fine.

I don't disagree, but how many people tune into a broadcast just to hear a specific guy yap about football?  I don't care who it is as long as they aren't awful.

If Fox overpaid for Brady (they certainly did) that's their problem.

Disagree.  He started really awful, and has graduated to merely average.
