Tom Brady continues to fulfill his postgame FOX assignments with the gregarious crew featuring Michael Strahan, Terry Bradshaw, Jimmie Johnson, and Howie Long.
Brady was on assignment in Green Bay this week to cover a Packers-Detroit Lions game marred by rain. The future Pro Football Hall of Famer was candidly discussing Packers quarterback Jordan Love’s decision to stay in the game despite a lingering injury and a large deficit.
Strahan couldn’t help but chime in and take the conversation in a more lighthearted direction. He said: “You know Tom, you talked about how we looked all night in this warm studio I believe it was raining out there. But your hair, that mousse is holding your hair up pretty good. You don’t look like you’re exactly soaking my friend?”

The camera quickly cut to a grinning Brady with a perfectly dry head of hair. Bradshaw could be heard howling with laughter in the background.
Brady is currently in the first year of a ten-year, $375 million contract with FOX he signed back in 2022. He’s received mixed reviews in his first nine games as a broadcaster.
He covered Sunday’s 24-14 road victory by Detroit in Green Bay, the team’s third straight win at Lambeau Field and their sixth straight on the season.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff did just enough, completing 18 of 22 passes for 145 yards and a score. The touchdown went to fabulous fourth-year receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on a fourth-and-goal fade route.
Following the tongue-in-cheek hair remark, Strahan followed with Brady about Detroit’s affable head coach Dan Campbell. He said: “Tom, you played for Belichick, who had a certain style with his players and got the most out of them. Dan Campbell has a different style [but still] gets the most out of his guys. Is Dan Campbell the kind of coach you could play for?”
Brady was effusive in his praise of Detroit’s signal caller. “You know what, I would have loved to have him as a coach, I would have loved to have him as a teammate,” Brady admitted.
“He’s the exact kind of guy you want: selfless, determined, resilient. He’s got this way about him…he’s a great leader. I believe leaders do two things. They’re curious and open to learning, and they continue to care about the people that they work with.
“You can tell Coach Campbell, he cares about his players. He adapts to the games, he adapts to the weeks of practice, and he’s very authentic. In a world where we’re not dealing with it and a lot of people are feeding us a lot of BS, he’s obviously so truthful with the guys that he’s coaching and they love him for that.”
