On Sunday, retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady made his quasi-debut as a FOX Sports analyst, delivering a fiery take on who he thinks will win the college football national championship.
Brady, 46, participated in a network advertisement supporting college football during opening weekend. The pre-recorded message features the seven-time Super Bowl champion picking his alma mater, Michigan, as the winner.
“I’m sorry to ruin it for everyone else, but this is Michigan’s year.” “We’ve won two Big Ten titles in a row, and we’ve beaten Ohio State twice in a row,” Brady added. “I apologize, Urban [Meyer]. Look, Coach [Jim] Harbaugh has all of his major players back. He has a top-tier quarterback in J.J. McCarthy. In the backfield, there’s a two-headed monster. And we have a strong defense.
“The winningest program in college football history is primed for another national title run.” We’ve got it. Let’s get started. “Go for the blue.”
Brady was scheduled to enter the broadcast booth this season, but he requested an additional year to prepare.
