Fox NFL broadcaster Greg Olsen is officially the best in the business despite getting demoted.
Next season, Tom Brady will take over for Olsen in the broadcast booth after signing a massive 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports.
On Tuesday night, Olsen was awarded the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Personality/Event Analyst for his work this past season.

Despite losing his job, Olsen has already said he’s looking to call the biggest games, whether at Fox Sports or elsewhere.
“I want to call top games. I want to call games in front of 57 million people, and dive into the biggest moments… And I feel like we’ve done as good a job at doing that as anyone in the industry over the last couple seasons.”
“We understand the delicate situation that we’re in, I understand when Tom Brady is looming over your shoulder, it’s the biggest news in sports. I get it, he’s Tom Brady, he’s someone I’ve respected for 20 years, so I understand the uniqueness of what’s going on and I feel like we’ve handled it as well as we could have in the last two years. if I can get the opportunity to call top games at Fox Sports or somewhere else, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
