As a die-hard football fan and a connoisseur of Tom Brady’s illustrious career, I must say that watching him navigate his new role as a commentator is quite amusing. While he’s undoubtedly enjoying the perks of his high-paying contract, it seems the NFL’s unyielding schedule took a chunk out of his holiday cheer this Thanksgiving.
They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life, but I feel like that saying doesn’t take holidays into account. While I’m sure Tom Brady is enjoying his inaugural stint on Fox’s commentary team and looks forward to continuing well into the 2025 TV schedule, there is a downside to that high-paying contract he signed. The NFL doesn’t take a break on Thanksgiving, and Fox’s The OT crew were only so happy to point that out to the MVP on live TV, which the Internet reacted excitedly to.
As a seasoned NFL veteran for many years, Tom Brady was certainly conscious that Thanksgiving is typically an exception where teams don’t get time off. Yet, when informed on Fox’s The OT that he would need to be in the booth instead of enjoying turkey with everyone else, his reaction was one of surprise, as you can see in the video shared by Complex Sports.
It’s possible I would express that Tom Brady’s greatest disappointment this year might have been agreeing to the contract and losing his holiday, but I suspect he may regret the Netflix roast even more. Regardless, there’s no lack of opinions about his recent TV appearances on Instagram, with reactions spanning from those subtly mocking him with a tinge of sympathy, to those genuinely feeling for him having to commentate during the Giants vs. Cowboys game. Here are some examples:
- Imagine missing Thanksgiving to cover the Giants vs Cowboys 😂😂😂 – @trayg_54
- Welcome to the working class 😂 – @itsjfrank_
- The look every new employee gives when they learn they have to work all the holidays – @fastmaddy
- Not only does he have to work, but it’s the Giants v Cowboys featuring two backup QB’s. Bro is in hell with $50m 🤣 – @zachswa
- Look into his eyes in the pic… that man is gone – @le_truey
For those less familiar with American football, Tom Brady is set to commentate on the upcoming matchup between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. Due to recent events, both teams will field backup quarterbacks: Daniel Jones of the Giants recently requested his release, while Dak Prescott of the Cowboys has been ruled out for the season and is scheduled for surgery. Essentially, this game might have a lower point total and could be quite messy, given the inexperience of the substitute quarterbacks.

It’s uncertain how Tom Brady might react to that situation, but my best guess is that the paycheck from it will be beneficial for him. Despite speculation about potential penalties due to his past critique of the referee, Brady seems set on maintaining his composure during broadcasts. As a new minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, he must adhere to specific rules to prevent any fines that could affect his earnings.
If it helps Tom Brady, he’ll have Christmas free for relaxation. This year, Netflix acquired the rights to broadcast NFL games on that day. The commentators for the two matches will be Ian and Noah Eagle, a father-son team. With this schedule, TB12 will have ample opportunity to unwind and perhaps count all those zeros in his bank account, or as wealthy individuals like him often do, engage in their leisure activities.
On Thanksgiving Day, starting at 4:30 PM Eastern Time, Tom Brady will join the broadcast for those watching NFL games on Fox. Even though he might not celebrate the holiday at home, he’ll definitely be a part of the festivities in your living room!
