Tom Brady made his broadcasting debut with FOX during the UFL Championship Game, joining Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt in the booth to provide analysis. While Brady received positive reviews for his natural performance, he was met with boos from St. Louis fans, likely due to lingering resentment over the Patriots' controversial Super Bowl XXXVI victory against the Rams. Brady's appearance included awarding the MVP trophy to Birmingham Stallions quarterback Adrian Martinez. This debut marks the beginning of Brady's 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX, where he will serve as the network's lead NFL analyst starting in the fall. Brady's debut also followed his recent induction into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame, where his jersey number was retired, and a statue was announced in his honor.
