Everybody Said The Same Thing About Tom Brady After Greg Olsen Won An Emmy

Tom Brady is getting set to replace the best in the business as Greg Olsen, whom Brady is replacing as Fox Sports’ top NFL color commentator next season, took home the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Personality.

This award comes amid his impending demotion.

Olsen is expected to join Fox’s No. 2 team with Joe Davis after two years with Kevin Burkhardt on the top team.

Breaking up Burkhardt and Olsen just to force Tom Brady down our throats is going to end up being a huge mistake. Hope FOX and TB12 are prepared for this https://t.co/39ZfMw3zKz

Troy Aikman, Cris Collinsworth, Bill Raftery, John Smoltz, and Tom Verducci were all defeated by Olsen. After receiving outstanding personality—emerging on-air talent last year, this is the second Emmy of his career.

In 2022, Olsen experienced an abrupt and unanticipated ascent when ESPN acquired the top Fox pair, Aikman and Joe Buck. Fox never intended for Olsen to succeed Burkhardt after only one season in the booth, and the network behaved accordingly when it hired Tom Brady to a 10-year, $375 million contract to serve as its new Aikman once he finished playing.

Olsen received favorable reviews in both of the seasons that passed between Tom Brady’s contract and the anticipated beginning of his announcing career, including Super Bowl LVII. Earlier this year, Brady acknowledged the talent of the man he will be replacing.

Earlier this year, Tom Brady confirmed that he will begin working as Fox Sports’ top color commentator starting in 2024, replacing Olsen.

"I've been out to the FOX studios a few times and I'm really excited to join an amazing team..

Greg Olsen does an incredible job and I have so much respect for him..

I'm gonna go in there and do the best I can do with my own perspective" ~ @TomBrady #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/Z1b6B2Zal5

Brady praised Olsen, who he “loves listening to.”

Fox signed Brady in 2022, but he took a year off to clear his head before starting the job. Olsen thrived as a result, but Brady now has to do the same. Fox spent a staggering $375 million over ten years to acquire the future hall-of-fame player.

Brady will call all of the big games on Fox – including the 2025 Super Bowl.
