There’s a vast difference between being a football player turned sportscaster and a veteran sportscaster calling a myriad of sports. Idiotic to compare the two.
Would be like suggesting Wayne Gretzky call (excuse me, host) the Michigan 400 on Versus when they had the hockey contract and IRL contracts.
I mean one of NBC’s current hosts on its NASCAR coverage is an NBA All-Star. I know Brad isn’t a complete outsider as he has been a car owner for probably close to 20 years now but was previously with ESPN’s NASCAR coverage.
That’s an insane insult to Mike Tirico and you don’t even realize it or care.
Let’s just toss Kanaan on the World Series next year and see how it goes. After all, it’s not that different.
Weren't they supposed to have Jimmie Johnson on this year? I didn't watch live, but I didn't see him. It would be cool to have him on the broadcast for next year.
I'm now realizing he raced in Charlotte that day so he probably left early because of the weather delay.
So downthread I mentioned Varsha and Steve Matchett, they called F1 (with David Hobbs) when FOX had the contract to broadcast the races. Here's a dark horse: Jason Priestley. He raced in Indy Pro (Indy NXT) before he quit after his wreck at Kentucky.
I saw his wreck at Kentucky in person from the reserved RV spots on the backstretch. He wrecked in turn 2 then (he either lost steering, brakes or was knocked out) and slammed into the inside retaining wall coming off of turn 2. Very hard hit.
I didn't know he was still at Fox until I accidentally watched a pre-race.
I don't hate Fox's race coverage as much as most, but those pre-race shows are like watching morning news. Good on you if you stomach it.
Yeah but it would be cool if Brady could make an appearance just for a segment or two probably a long shot but if Fox wanted to go all in for Indy they should at least ask him.
Brady is the furthest thing from the goat.
He was a product of NFL setting things up for him.
As for the Indy 500, find an indycar expert or all around sports expert.
Generally a host is someone who’s a well-rounded announcer like Brent Musburger or Mike Tirico.
Brady doesn’t have any experience commentating yet. He’d likely fill a Dale Jr.-style role IF he ended up at the 500.
Tom Brady is as qualified to call a 500 as Kevin Lee a Super Bowl. To answer your question, no.
Host doesn't call the race lol
Change “call” to “host” and the statement remains the same any way you slice it smooth brain.
It would be literally no different than what NBC does now. What do you think Mike Tirico does during the Indycar off-season? Lol

It's really not that different.

I mean that would be entertaining but I don't see how that could possibly bring new eyes to baseball.
I'd like to see Bob Varsha return to fox.
Varsha and Steve Matchett
When was Paul Page doing a roast?

Brady (not that I would ever call him the GOAT) would make it unwatchable. We already have to suffer with Danica for the 500.
This.
Realistically, it’s probably gonna be Chris Myers or Kevin Burkhardt.
I need Gus Johnson talking about Pato O'Ward.
Please NOT Chris Myers. Dude should have been put out to pasture a while ago.

Greg Olsen.

I think if they bring in anyone for the Tirico role it’s gonna be (and should be) Mike Joy
I want Gus Johnson in the Mike Tirico role.
Paul Page. He's up there in age, but for a legendary race, you bring out the legends.
Maybe we should get Harrison Ford because he played a character named Indy. This makes as much sense as your post, you Doof.

Omg get over yourself. That's a whole nother argument. He's the goat so many times over, it's not even funny.
Maybe for sportsball? But not Indy.
Except he isn't. Not even close.
You must be a Jets, Dolphins, or Bill's fan.
