For Monday morning, Tom Brady will have finished calling the Super Bowl Lix and his first season as a NFL color commentator. For some fans, that day may not arrive soon.
Maybe that is a hard criticism of the seven -time Super Bowl champion and the best definitive field marshal of all time, but Brady's first season in the stand was one of the growth pain as much as about growth.
This was the first season of the ten -year contract and $ 375 million of Brady with Fox to be his number 1 color commentator.
Together with the game by game Kevin Burkhardt, Brady has often been criticized by the spectators, who have not taken too kindly to the former field marshals of Buccaneers and Patriots field in their first call season.
But Brady, whose ex -wife Gisele Bundchen welcomed a baby with his new boyfriend Joaquim Valente this week, has admitted that this season has not matched exactly the standard that he established for himself.
At a telephone conference with the journalists of the Super Bowl week, Brady was sincere about his first season behind the microphone.

When it comes to ways to improve, Brady said that lack of experience was really his ruin this season. “Understanding the challenges and art and science of this, you can really only do it through doing so,” he said (through Illustrated sports).
“I always thought it was going to be a challenge and it certainly has been, and a very positive challenge,” Brady added.
'Part of the experience of life is to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone to experience new things in which it can be more a transforming experience for you.
'To use his voice and his vision for a live television audience, there is a lot of adrenaline in that. It was very different from when I played where I would see all these things, I just didn't have to verbalize them.
“I unconsciously knew what to do and my body took over because, ultimately, this is how I trained it.”
Although he is the most successful field marshal in the history of the NFL, Brady is not above recognizing when he is stumbled, especially in this new profession.
“I think the mistakes I have made, and I have committed a lot, I have learned from all of them,” he said.
'You are not happy that they happen, but at the same time, you understand that when they happen, and I pronounce bad words or forget a certain statistic or the preparation is a bit off in terms of my thoughts about something and I ruined the analysis: I return and I want Do it well next time.
Brady was paired with Kevin Burkhardt in the game per game by 2024. They will call the Super Bowl Lix.

'And without mistakes, you don't learn from them and apply them in the future. And I think that all the mistakes I made, although I would not have done them, the fact that I can learn from them and move forward with a greater sense of consciousness only allows you to improve. '
Brady added that he has seen many criticisms of his online transmission ability, with fans constantly stepping on each of his words.
“Naturally, you listen to different things on social networks and others,” Brady said. 'And I have friends who will give me small reports about how it was. Again, all I am trying to do is deliver fans.
'They are the ones we are trying to serve and I am trying to raise the game in the best way I can. I tried to do that as a player doing things in the right way. I was just using my body to do that. Now I have to use and articulate through my words to do it.
The field marshal knows that it is difficult to please everyone, but has been able to obtain comments from other broadcasting companions.
In the call, Brady specifically named people like Tony Romo, Crin Collinsworth, Greg Olsen, Troy Aikman, Michaels and Jim Nantz, among others.
“I'm forgetting another 25,” Brady said. “I receive the best messages … people look at the game and listen and send me messages: 'Hey, this is what I think you can do a better job.' Those are people in the industry that I have always admired and respected and respected and I always tried to be available to them in my career as a player and have really returned me in many ways. '
Brady has been in the Super Bowl many times as a player, but this is the first time he transmits it
Brady recognizes the opportunity to call this Super Bowl, although he has been in this game many times in the past.
“This is an incredible event in our country and worldwide and showing this great game and offering really unique ideas is a kind of dream come true for me, so I am very excited about what is ahead,” Brady said.
Brady and Burkhardt will call the Super Bowl in Fox, which starts at 6:30 pm, east time.
