Al Michaels believes that all people criticize Tom Brady for his broadcast, in fact, they are just jealous of the former defender. This may lead some to wonder, how does he explain why so many people criticized him as well?

Michaels, who has been criticized by fans over the past two seasons for showing what many consider to be a clean slate lack of enthusiasm when calling NFL gamesshared his theory about Tom Brady this week on Sports Media with Richard Dyche podcast.

“From Tom’s point of view, jealousy is a very powerful human emotion,” Al Michaels said “And there are a lot of people who wanted Tom to fail because Tom has everything. right?

“He has a football resume. He lives a life that many people would like to live. So it’s going to take a lot of heat. My personal opinion, and I don’t really care about announcers, I think he did a really good job. And I think he just keeps getting better and better and I really enjoy listening to him.

“So I hear, ‘Brady this, Brady that,’ but I’m telling you, when he plays the game, and I think he works extremely well with Kevin Burkhardt, I think they make a really good combination. And I’m a fan. And I think Tom is done with yeoman’s work this year. And he is getting better and better.

“And knowing Tom, as I have over the years as a player and as a friend, he’s going to work his way up. And he has. And you can tell he has. Despite the fact that he is somewhat limited because he can’t go to certain meetings, etc. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be ready just like anyone else. He knows enough ways to understand what is going on.

“So anyway, I’ll just say this, whatever it is, I think it’s more than jealousy.”

Al Michaels also added that he thinks the same goes for criticism Tony Romo.

Now, will Tom Brady last as long as Romo, or even reaches next yearbefore deciding he doesn’t want to be a TV host, one can only assume.
