Tom Brady is no stranger to high-stakes moments, but this past week may rank among his most eventful yet. Just days after his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, welcomed a new child, the NFL icon stepped into a brand-new arena—this time, behind the microphone. It's paradoxical to hear someone like Tom Brady claim that commentating on a Super Bowl is more challenging than winning one. Yet, he shared these sentiments in the hours leading up to the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

"As a player, you prepare for one side of the field; as a commentator, you have to prepare for both offenses and defenses. I can't even cover everything I've prepared," Brady added, as reported by EFE.

"I look back at my career and feel like I had nothing left in the tank, even though I'd still love to throw the ball. It's something I love to do. Football was my first love; I love competing at the highest level and enjoyed all the elements that come with this sport. Now I'm on the other side, and I enjoy it," he further commented.
Brady played in 10 Super Bowls, winning six with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before announcing his retirement in 2023.
