Take on Tom Brady’s next step

Tom Brady retired again and I'm sure there would be nobody surprised if he's back on the field again next year. Of course the question would be, why would he risk it when he's got to $30M per year to do color on Fox sitting ahead of him.
We've said this before but there doesn't seem to be a bigger waste of money than paying an ex jock that kind of haul
.
First of all, we have no idea of Brady will even be good at this. Unlike Peyton, he's seems to have the personality of a goat and he'll likely be Jeter level boring making for a bad broadcast

He might not have good insight as maybe he's less cerebral than we've been made to believe and/or he may just not be able to out it together.

I have never believed that the color commentator for an NFL game- especially one playing at 5pm on a Sunday- has any impact to viewership. People will watch Eagles vs Bengals because it an intriguing matchup, nobody cars if it's Aikman or Romo. You can only get turned off by on so these guys (hello Cris Collinsworth) so unless your name is Madden nobody cares and anything they pay you is a giant waste.
