Tom Brady discusses his excitement for the Kansas City Chiefs' potential dynasty and his preference for great games over team allegiances during his first Super Bowl as a commentator.
Tom Brady will be calling his first Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans, and it somehow feels fitting that he’ll be the one to announce history being made if the Kansas City Chiefs win. Brady, who fell short of the achievement two decades ago while playing for the New England Patriots, would have every reason to be rooting for the other side. Yet, the FOX announcer doesn’t seem to harbor any jealousy toward the AFC champs (he did, after all, beat Patrick Mahomes twice in the postseason).
While Brady made clear that he didn’t—and couldn’t, given his broadcasting duties—have a preferred team in the big game, he spoke about how “happy” he would be if the Chiefs did win their third consecutive Lombardi Trophy. “The only thing I root for in these situations are great games. I will say if the Chiefs win, I will be very happy for them. I mean, what they’ve achieved is unmatched.” The Patriots legend went on to describe similarities between his former team’s dynasty and that of the Chiefs. “I think that’s cool because people always hated on us for so many years. And I didn’t understand it because all I did was like, we try to do things the right way, we try to go out there and compete for our job and win,”“And there’s an excellence that I appreciate about people who are doing other things at really high levels because you understand the commitment that it takes for them to do what they’re doing. And to be in this country and to not cheer for excellence is beyond me.”Brady will be in the booth alongside Kevin Burkhardt for the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 watching the quarterback he metaphorically passed the torch to try to make unprecedented NFL history. And if that’s not great cinema, what is?
