That sign off by Katie was fantastic! She also made some great critiques.

[@mjmwise]

Katie Nolan is smart, clever, and fun! She knows how to put together some good constructive criticism. She is especially good at helping PTFO get on the right track when working with Pablo.

This Katie segment shows why Garbage Time was the perfect show with Katie on it. If there is something Katie is good at, it's finding the humor in these sports situations and bringing levity to them with an interesting context.

[@dramarent]

[@DavidBagga]

I’m reserving judgement on Brady until the day after the Super Bowl but I honestly never noticed how high pitched Brady’s voice is. Gonna be fascinating to see all this develop 🏈🎙️

[@macbeavers6938]

Yeah, Edelman had some fun with that, but I imagine when Brady yelled it came across a little bit differently.

[@Daniboi971]

Did you not? Ever hear him at the LOS screaming “50s the Mike!”?

[@chrisolivo6591]

Either you are natural on TV or not. Montana didn’t work as an analyst after he retired as he was too dry. I actually think Brady would be better on the pregame/postgame show as he’s good at breaking down stuff, but needs to time to make his point. An in-game analyst is about making quick points/reactions after each play. Brady would be better in studio where he can make his point without rushing it.

[@layziebdub]

This is a really great point. Someone like Peyton has natural charisma while Brady really does come off as stiff and dry. I love your point that he might be better on a post game show but even then he still needs some energy and charisma. I think many former athletes learn the hard way how difficult it is to be entertaining on tv or even on a podcast (wayyy too many athlete podcasts that are boring/dry as hell).

[@patriotsfan122480]

Even in a studio setting I think the team around him would be important, but overall agree with you. I do think he got better from the first quarter to the fourth, and overall was ok. I also don’t think he had any chemistry with Kevin Burkhardt and that is important as well, and that’s neither of their faults. Some people work well together immediately, some don’t.

[@xchxmpagnepxpix]

Good point.

[@imposible2beat]

Man Katie really nailed this segment! More of this.

He seemed hesitant and nervous. Would not say anything negative and was boring. That's the type of job you need charisma. Only his first game. He will get better.

[@SickLiq]

How much they're paying him matters less to me than having to watch commercials about how awesome he is at everything he does, DURING his actual very mid performance. Tom just doesn't have any Charisma, no one in history has benefited more from being seen rather than heard. Probably going to destroy his own image.

[@mbrownie22]

[@AustinSportsGuy]

The only reason I watched Apple TV baseball was for Katie Nolan because she was smart, funny, entertaining, and DIFFERENT in all the best ways. I’m sad that she’s still dealing with the trauma of her experience but I genuinely miss her on baseball broadcasts.

[@deaddropholiday]

Perhaps people would have been more forgiving of Tom if it weren't for the fact that FOX was advertising his arrival as though he were the literal spirit of God moving across the face of the waters every hour of every minute. Kind of a tough billing to live up to...

[@neilgirvan8678]

Tom's first day on the job. He's going to get better every week and it won't be long until he's one of the best sports broadcasters/analysts in the business.

[@atfmedia9540]

Finally! We get a broad's opinion and insight in sports! It's so great to have so many broads in sports broadcasting. They have such great questions and input. I should mention, I'm legally insane.

[@KK-pm7ud]

Tom needs to unlearn a lot of the things he would say as a leader on an NFL team. And that will be hard both mentally and habitually.

[@patriotsfan122480]

@@davis2k1234 Tom would be stupid to go to the Dolphins. It's a terrible organization and dangerous for players. Especially a QB.

He'd have a better chance on the Steelers.

[@Thetangibletim]

@@KevinJLI meant as far as performance level and being a fit for the job and such

[@patriotsfan122480]

As someone else wrote so eloquently yesterday, I don’t understand how anyone expected him to be a great commentator if they’d even seen 1 minute of 1 of his press conferences over the last 20 years. I don’t doubt he has the knowledge, but some former players are really good at these jobs and you know it instantly when they’re in front of the mic, and you also know the opposite just as quickly. As for the money, Fox offered it knowing all that. If they offered me the same, I’d have taken it to. Pretty sure most of us football fans had a feeling this was going to be the outcome. I do hope he can get better if it’s something he really wants to do, but I’m going keep to putting the games on mute.

[@travisfoster3587]

got to reiterate not losing yards. offenses seems to not get it nowadays

[@DMDvideo10]

I think certain people (maybe... broadcasters?) just want to see Tom fail at something especially something "they" think they are good at. For his first time it was fine and you know damn well he'll improve. Telling Tom he isn't good at something is fuel for him... There are guys doing games for years that aren't that good...

[@maverick214]

Greg Olsen is a natural because he has lots of charisma. Brady is the exact opposite and that's why he will ultimately fail with this Fox gig.

[@altonmarcello1574]

I’ll preface this with the fact that I am a Pats and Brady fan, but all the hate seems overboard, I get the whole issue with the contract and replacing Olsen, but the whole role of color commentator seems like it has a pretty low ceiling of how good you can be.

Fox did him no favors. They hyped it up so awkwardly all the way through. Set him up to fail. They should have left Greg Olson for the big games, and had Tom be their #2 color commentator and given him a chance to grow into it. After a year or 2 if they wanted to promote him they could have.

That would’ve never worked only because there will be those that will say “how can you do to the greatest quarterback of all time?” Romo isn’t half the player Brady is and he got pushed to the number 1 broadcast team on cbs.
