You can tell Tom Brady is new to broadcasting.
Last year, Brady was signed to be the lead NFL broadcaster for FOX and was paid an eye-whopping 10-year contract worth $375 million.
On Sunday, Brady made his broadcast debut for Fox when he called the big Browns-Cowboys game.

Viewers at home felt that Brady sounded nervous and still needs some time to get comfortable in the booth.
“Maybe someone should have listened to Tom Brady actually say words before dropping $300 million on him.” commented one fan.
“I don’t know if Tom Brady will end up being a bad broadcaster, but it’s jarring how nervous he sounds today” said another fan.
Fans apparently also had issues with Brady not showing excitement in the booth.
“Tom Brady sounds as excited as a cow going into a slaughterhouse.”
Even NFL Redzone’s Scott Hanson called out Brady for not sounding excited in the booth.

We’ll have to wait and see if Brady improves in the booth, but as of right now he’s far from a finished product.
