00:00You're paying this guy $35 million a year to do the games.

00:03He's the number one announcer, immediately takes a guy's job that was great at it, allegedly.

00:11People thought that Greg Olson was great at it.

00:13They just bumped him right out of there for Tom Brady, which everyone, I understand seven

00:17rings, you get whatever you want when you're Tom Brady, but he was really pedestrian at

00:23doing it.

00:24And I'm telling you, he wasn't worth $3.5 million doing that game.

00:28Yeah, and I expect Brady to improve at it.

00:31He needs to relax a little bit.

00:32I thought he was a little bit uptight, but you were talking about Greg Olson, who's just

00:35phenomenal.

00:36See, the thing is, he's relatable.

00:38He's got great energy.

00:39He explains it well.

00:42Olson has done it in a way, as a broadcaster, as an analyst, that we all can understand.

00:50That is the key to broadcasting, no matter what sport you're doing, being relatable.

00:55And Greg was really good in the beginning.

00:57I think you and I were talking about that off the air.

00:59You kind of see it sometimes when guys have it.

01:02And in Brady's case, yes, you're expecting greatness because of what they're paying him.

01:05It's going to take some time.

01:08I just can't.

01:09You can't explain that to me, that he's worth $35 million.

01:14I guess it's just because of his name and his rings, because, I mean, that was really

01:19lame, is what it was.

01:21It was lame.
