Tom Brady’s eventual move into the Fox NFL booth is far from Kevin Burkhardt’s mind as the biggest game of the broadcaster’s career approaches.
Brady is expected to take over as Fox’s lead analyst if he decides to retire this offseason. Olsen and Burkhardt have been Fox’s top NFL broadcast team since Joe Buck and Troy Aikman left for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” before this season. The pair has been praised for its work this season and will call the NFC Championship game between the Eagles and 49ers on Sunday, as well as Super Bowl 2023 for Fox.
Deitsch asked Burkhardt what it’s like to be working with Olsen, who is acting as sort of a placeholder for Brady. “Greg’s my dude,” Burkhardt said on the podcast. “I’ve known him for a long time. We get along really, really well. I love the guy.Tom Brady has a spot waiting for him in Fox’s broadcast booth when he retires.“But in a business sense, when this all happened, obviously, I texted with Tom and that was it.
“After the Tom stuff broke, Greg and I had a talk,” Burkhardt continued. “I said, ‘Hey, here’s one thing I know we can control: We can go out this year and kick ass and have a great time. We’re doing the Super Bowl this year, and let’s just see where it goes.’”Greg Olsen is currently Kevin Burkhardt’s partner in Fox’s NFL booth.“We all know the reality,” Olsen said on “The Waddle and Silvy” radio show on ESPN 1000 this week. “I know what I signed up for this year.
“Listen, if Brady ends up retiring and coming, and decides, and that’s how everything unfolds, it sucks. But at the end of the day, I’m a big boy. I know what I signed up for. I took a chance on myself. I rolled the dice. Let’s see how it plays out.”
