As Tom Brady faces questions about calling a divisional playoff game between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders this weekend, Mike Francesa is more concerned with his ability to call a Super Bowl.
Brady’s minority ownership with the Las Vegas Raiders has him operating under unprecedented restrictions as an analyst, with the NFL prohibiting him from taking part in production meetings with teams and players. Adding to the unique situation is the fact that Brady will be calling a game this weekend featuring Detroit’s offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who Brady and the Raiders are considering for their head coaching vacancy.
Francesa was asked about Brady’s rookie season and potential trajectory as a broadcaster on his podcast, and the former WFAN icon quickly expressed skepticism about Brady’s ability to properly prepare for Super Bowl LIX alongside Kevin Burkhardt next month on Fox.
